A definite stimulus to Undertake this work was the appearance of the Tsunamis" compiled'with my participation "Annotated Bibliographyand on edited by the International Union of Geodesy and . Geophysics in Paris in 1964. The bibliography was an important clue to many previously unknown publications on tsunamis 'dispersed_in different national and.interna- tional editions. The desire to have under hand all original descriptions of tsunamis in a compact form is experienced by every Investigator of tsunamis. My first step in this direction was the compilation of. a11 actual data on tsunamis observed on the Pacific shores of Kamchatka and Kuril Islands, which was done by the end of the 190s. The present edition is the product of double translation; at first from English, French, German and Spanish into Russian and then from Russian into English. Of course the better way would be the translation directly from original languages into English, or. citation English texts, because a danger always exists in accumulation of errors during each translation. But recompilation of the catalogue in such a manner would require several years of hard work and it would be almost impossible. I have had the opportunity to read the manuscript of the English translation and my impression is that the general sense of description is passed correctly, although there are some minor inexactitudes. Some errors found in the Russian text have been removed during the transla- tion. But the catalogue itself is still open to discussion and additions. My sincere thanks to the staff of the Institute of Ocean Sciences, Sidney, Canada, and especially to Mr. Sydney O. Wigen for efforts to realize this English edition of my, together with Mr. Ch. N. Go, book, and I hope that this edition will be useful in further investigations of such important problems as tsunamis. Prof. S. L. Soloviev Moscow, 1982 vii Foreword and Acknowledgement In their two-volume catalogue, Catalogue of tsunamis on the western shore of the Pacific Ocean (1974) and Catalogue of tsunamis on the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean (1975) S. L. Soloviev and Ch. N. Go have assembled the most complete descrip- tive summary of tsunamis that have struck the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Their records embrace both localized and ocean-wide destructive occurrences, and in some cases go back more that 1000 years. Knowledge of these past events is essential in making an authentic evaluation of tsunami hazard. In order to make this body of knowledge more generally available to tsunamists, the Institute of Ocean Sciences has undertaken to have these works translated into English, and to publish them for free distribution to researchers. We express our great appreciation to the authors, Soloviev and Go, for the work they have done in the compilation, and also the time and care they have taken to review and correct the translations; to The Copyright Agency of the U.S.S.R. for permission to publish; and to the Translation Bureau of the Secretary of State, Ottawa, for its concern and diligence in seeking to provide an accurate translation in a specialized technical field. In the listing of References in the original edition, papers pub- lished in Russian were listed first, followed by papers published in other languages. Titles of papers in Japanese were given in English translation and sequenced alphabetically into the second section. The same sequence is retained in this translation, but with Russian titles and sources translated into English. I would like to thank the many tsunamists who have given encourage- ment and guidance in the production of this work; to express particular appreciation to W. Hamilton, preliminary translator of the Eastern Pacific; G. Daze, principal translator; and Mary Lane, Marilee Nugent, and Partricia Straub for their sustained effort and enthusiasm in pre- paring these works for publication. For any errors that remain I accept responsibility. Sydney O.

In preparing the catalogue, wide use has been made of reports of earthquakes and tsunamis that have occurred anywhere in the world (Montbeillard, 1761; Hoff, 1840; Perrey, 1847, 1850, 1852, 1854 a-c, 1862 a,b, 1864 a,b, 1865, 1867, 1870 a,b, 1872 a,b, 1873, 1875 a,b; Mallet, 1853-1855; Fuchs, 1866-1870, 1872, 1874, 1878, 1879, 1881, 1883 a,b, 1885 a,b, 1887 a,b; Rudolph, 1905; Milne, 1912 b; Sieberg, 1932; Heck, 1934, 1947; Iida et al., 1967), as described in the preceding catalogue and in national earthquake catalogues (Montessus de Ballore, 1888, 1911 a, 1912, 1916; Orozco y Berra, 1888; Holden, 1898; Polo, 1899 a,b; Bobillier, 1934; Flores, 1934; Townley, Allen, 1939; Milne, 1956; Silgado, 1968; Lomnitz, 1970; and others) and in special publications. The material pertaining to this part of the Pacific was, for the most part, selected and translated into Russian by S.L. Soloviev. The catalogue includes hardly any information on the extremely severe Chilean tsunami, which occurred on May 22, 1960, owing to the great volume of factual data on it and on the earthquake which caused it. The Chilean tsunami deserves a special monograph. Limited descrip- tions are given on the well-known California earthquake of April 18, 1906; however, the data on the very weak tsunami that accompanied that quake are reproduced in full. As in the previous book, the descriptions in the catalogue are presented in chronological order by separate zones, which are arranged counter-clockwise starting with the islands of Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and Kermadec and finishing with Canada and the Hawaiian Islands. In addition to the documented tsunamis, the catalogue includes descriptions of sever- al solitary waves in the ocean and of long waves of unknown origin, des- criptions of which are encountered in the literature. For each zone an overall map is given, on which. are shown first, the geographical locations referred to in the descriptions, and second, the centres of the tsunamis - to the extent to which it was possible to establish them on the basis of the material gathered in the cataolgue. In researching this material, the archives from the following institu- tions were used: Moscow and Leningrad libraries, Main Geodetic and **Numbers in the right-hand margin mark commencement of corresponding pages in the original text - Transi. 2 Cartographic Administration, Chief Administration of Cartographic Production of the Navy, Sakhalin Complex Scientific Research Institute, Far East Scientific Centre, and Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The material presented for each occurrence is given, as a rule, in the same format: first the year and time (local) •of the earthquakes are shown, then the earthquake is described, and finally, data on the tsunamis are given.

  • Historical and Paleo-Tsunami Deposits During the Last 4000 Years and Their
    Ishimura and Miyauchi Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2015) 2:16 DOI 10.1186/s40645-015-0047-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Historical and paleo-tsunami deposits during the last 4000 years and their correlations with historical tsunami events in Koyadori on the Sanriku Coast, northeastern Japan Daisuke Ishimura1* and Takahiro Miyauchi2 Abstract Large tsunamis occurring throughout the past several hundred years along the Sanriku Coast on the Pacific coast of northeastern Japan have been documented and observed. However, the risk of large tsunamis like the tsunami generated by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake could not be evaluated from previous studies, because these studies lacked evidence of historical and paleo-tsunami deposits on the coastline. Thus, we first identified event deposits, which are candidates for tsunami deposits, from excavating surveys conducted on the coastal marsh in Koyadori on the Sanriku Coast, northeastern Japan. Second, we determined the physicochemical sediment properties of the deposits (roundness of grains, color, wet and dry densities, and loss on ignition) and established their geochronology by radiocarbon dating and tephra analysis. Third, we identified event deposits as tsunami deposits, based on their sedimentary features and origin, sedimentary environment, paleo-shoreline, and landowner interviews. In this study, we report 11 tsunami deposits (E1–E11) during the past 4000 years, of which E1, E2, E3, and E4 were correlated with the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami, the 1896 Meiji Sanriku tsunami, the 1611 Keicho Sanriku tsunami, and the 869 Jogan tsunami, respectively. From age data and the number of tsunami deposits in the trench, we estimated that tsunamis larger than the 1896 Meiji Sanriku tsunami occur and hit the study area on average every 290–390 years.

  • TSUNAMIGENIC SOURCES in the INDIAN OCEAN R. K. Jaiswal , B. K
    TSUNAMIGENIC SOURCES IN THE INDIAN OCEAN 1 1 2 R. K. Jaiswal , B. K. Rastogi & Tad S. Murty 1 Institute of Seismological Research, Gandhinagar-382 018, Gujarat (India) 2 University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Based on an assessment of the repeat periods of great earthquakes from past seismicity, convergence rates and paleoseismological results, possible future source zones of tsunami generating earthquakes in the Indian Ocean (possible seismic gap areas) are identified along subduction zones and zones of compression. Central Sumatra, Java, Makran coast, Indus Delta, Kutch-Saurashtra, Bangladesh and southern Myanmar are identified as possible source zones of earthquakes in near future which might cause tsunamis in the Indian Ocean, and in particular, that could affect India. The Sunda Arc (covering Sumatra and Java) subduction zone, situated on the eastern side of the Indian Ocean, is one of the most active plate margins in the world that generates frequent great earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. The Andaman- Nicobar group of islands is also a seismically active zone that generates frequent earthquakes. However, northern Sumatra and Andaman-Nicobar regions are assessed to be probably free from great earthquakes (M!8.0) for a few decades due to occurrence of 2004 Mw 9.3 and 2005 Mw 8.7 earthquakes. The Krakatau volcanic eruptions have caused large tsunamis in the past. This volcano and a few others situated on the ocean bed can cause large tsunamis in the future. List of past tsunamis generated due to earthquakes/volcanic eruptions that affected the Indian region and vicinity in the Indian Ocean are also presented.

    Planet Mars III 28 March- 2 April 2010 POSTERS: ABSTRACT BOOK Recent Science Results from VMC on Mars Express Jonathan Schulster1, Hannes Griebel2, Thomas Ormston2 & Michel Denis3 1 VCS Space Engineering GmbH (Scisys), R.Bosch-Str.7, D-64293 Darmstadt, Germany 2 Vega Deutschland Gmbh & Co. KG, Europaplatz 5, D-64293 Darmstadt, Germany 3 Mars Express Spacecraft Operations Manager, OPS-OPM, ESA-ESOC, R.Bosch-Str 5, D-64293, Darmstadt, Germany. Mars Express carries a small Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC), originally to provide visual telemetry of the Beagle-2 probe deployment, successfully release on 19-December-2003. The VMC comprises a small CMOS optical camera, fitted with a Bayer pattern filter for colour imaging. The camera produces a 640x480 pixel array of 8-bit intensity samples which are recoded on ground to a standard digital image format. The camera has a basic command interface with almost all operations being performed at a hardware level, not featuring advanced features such as patchable software or full data bus integration as found on other instruments. In 2007 a test campaign was initiated to study the possibility of using VMC to produce full disc images of Mars for outreach purposes. An extensive test campaign to verify the camera’s capabilities in-flight was followed by tuning of optimal parameters for Mars imaging. Several thousand images of both full- and partial disc have been taken and made immediately publicly available via a web blog. Due to restrictive operational constraints the camera cannot be used when any other instrument is on. Most imaging opportunities are therefore restricted to a 1 hour period following each spacecraft maintenance window, shortly after orbit apocenter.
