Residents were stunned by the small glimpse they’d already had of the fantastic damage done to their communities… unbelieving at the reports that no one had been drowned or even seriously injured in the tidal wave which swept the low-lying areas in the midnight hours following the great Alaska earthquake.” Civil Defence Circular. Special report on Alberni tidal wave disaster. Provincial emergency program report. 5 Introduction Fifty years ago the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in North America hit south central Alaska, causing a tsunami that swept along the BC coast, heavily damaging coastal communities such as Port Alberni. Fifty years later, much has been learned about how the Earth’s crust works, but ocean scientists are still working to understand the dynamics of the great waves. On March 27th and 28th, 2014 Ocean Networks Canada hosted an international workshop on tsunami modeling and instrumentation. Forty-four attendees from Canada, Japan, India, USA, Germany, France and Italy congregated in Port Alberni, British Columbia, on the 50-year anniversary of the tsunami that devastated this city. The shore station that hosts the entry of the cable from the NEPTUNE observatory was the venue for this event. The Tseshaht First Nation and the Mayor of Port Alberni opened the day with a welcoming followed by a full day of presentations from scientists from the major agencies responsible for tsunami mitigation. The most recent tsunami research was presented with an emphasis on the coast of British Columbia and the geohazards present along the Cascadia margin. The second day of the workshop, hosted at the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, focused on near-field tsunamis and the instrumentation currently available for their detection. The experts discussed the design and technology that should be implemented for the detection and forecast of near-field tsunamis on the British Columbia coast. Three groups were formed that centered their discussions on (1) instrumentation, (2) earthquake source definition and (3) modeling. This report summarizes the information shared during the workshop. Videos and presentations are available on our website: http://www.oceannetworks.ca/science/ getting-involved/workshops/tsunami-workshop-2014. 6 We are Tseshaht [Ts’ishaa7ath] The Tseshaht First Nation is a vibrant community on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in Port Alberni, British Columbia, with an active and progressive natural resources- based economy. We are proud of our culture and work as a community to preserve our traditional values and the teachings. Tseshaht translates as “the people of Ts’ishaa,” a place on what is known today as Benson Island, one of the Broken Group Islands in Barkley Sound. We are one of the 14 Nations that make up the Nuu-chah-nulth [Nootka] people of western Vancouver Island. At the core of Tseshaht is our chronicle of creation; our spiritual origin. We were created at Ts’ishaa, and our first ancestors (Tseshaht man and women) were given by Nas (creator) the highest spiritual responsibility and stewardship of the Broken Group Islands. Our ownership of land is based on the Nuu-chah-nulth laws of hahuulhi, which means the territory of a nation under the stewardship of a King (Head of state). Being king indicated the closest spiritual bloodline to our chronicle of creation. Our late King Adam Shewish, great-grandfather Chief Haayuupinuulh [born c.1830] was the King of the Tseshaht when mum-ulth-ne settlement started in the Alberni Valley. His name, meaning “getter of ten (whales)” signified his status as a prominent chief, including his King’s right to hunt whales. 7 Tseshaht hahuulhi changed through marriage and alliances, a series of wars, and the incorporation of affiliated groups. A prime example was a historic conflict with the Tsumas7ath, already living on the Somass River, the Hikwuulh7ath and the Hach’aa7ath established themselves at on the Somass River. These hahuulhi enhancements continued as the Tseshaht absorbed the Hikwuulh7ath and the Hach’aa7ath. As well as once exclusive properties of the Nash7as7ath, Maktl7ii7ath, Ts’umaa7as7ath and the original Ts’ishaa7ath. This meant that the hahuulhi of the these groups in the Broken Group Islands, central Barkley Sound, a large extent of the Alberni Inlet and the Alberni Valley became Tseshaht territories. Tseshaht Tutuupata, the plural of tupaati, refers to the hereditary privileges or preroga- tives that governed the ownership and use of practically everything of value in Tseshaht society. These included resources like rivers, fish trap sites, and plant gathering sites, as well as intellectual property resources like names, ceremonial songs, dances, and regalia. Tutuupata determined rank in Tseshaht society, and were inherited within a family. Tseshaht Seasonal Round The traditional Tseshaht economy was determined by tupaati - the ownership of resources. Tseshaht tupaati included both “outside” and “inside” resources throughout this territory. This meant that in late winter and early spring the Tseshaht travelled to their “outside” tupaati to utilize the resources of these traditional sites such as sea mammals, halibut, rockfish and salmon and procurement areas in Barkley Sound. As the seasons changed, the resources changed, and the Tseshaht moved back to their “inside” tupaati, following the salmon up Alberni Inlet to the Somass River. The Tseshaht now exert our jurisdiction over our hahuulhi based on our history. 8 A message from Port Alberni Mayor John Douglas It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all the delegates and scientists attending the international tsunami modeling workshop hosted by Ocean Networks Canada here in Port Alberni. The waves that hit our community 50 years ago left an indelible mark on the memories of those who experienced it and forever changed our understanding of the local dangers posed by tsunamis. The City of Port Alberni and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District are working closely together to plan and prepare for such emergencies. Your knowledge and expertise represents an important link to these efforts and our goal to be a world leader in the field of emergency preparedness. As an organization focused on our ocean planet and its complex systems, I congratu- late Ocean Networks Canada for the important contributions they are making to the advancement of science and technology. The City of Port Alberni is honoured to be part of this important gathering. Yours truly, City of Port Alberni, John Douglas - Mayor 9 A letter from Ocean Networks Canada President Kate Moran On behalf of Ocean Networks Canada, an initiative of the University of Victoria, I’m delighted to welcome you, the world’s leading tsunami researchers, to the shore station of the 840-km long NEPTUNE cabled ocean observatory. Our sincere thanks go to Mayor Douglas and the citizens of Port Alberni for their warm welcome and for including us in community events that mark this very historic time – the fiftieth anniversary of a devastating earthquake and tsunami. I also am grateful to the Tseshaht First Nation for sharing their ancestral traditions with us. This workshop location—at the terminus of the NEPTUNE cabled observatory in the Northeast Pacific—is where, fifty years ago, a powerful tsunami came surging up the Alberni Inlet and inundated the shoreline. Because of this anniversary, it is particularly fitting to bring all of you together to Port Alberni at this time. I wish you all the best for a successful workshop and look forward to an exciting future filled with rich collaborations. Sincerely, Kate Moran, PhD President and CEO 10 About Ocean Networks Canada Ocean Networks Canada operates world-class ocean observatories

  • A Review of Geological Records of Large Tsunamis at Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and Implications for Hazard John J
    Quaternary Science Reviews 19 (2000) 849}863 A review of geological records of large tsunamis at Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and implications for hazard John J. Clague! " *, Peter T. Bobrowsky#, Ian Hutchinson$ !Depatment of Earth Sciences and Institute for Quaternary Research, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada V5A 1S6 "Geological Survey of Canada, 101 - 605 Robson St., Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 5J3 #Geological Survey Branch, P.O. Box 9320, Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 9N3 $Department of Geography and Institute for Quaternary Research, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada BC V5A 1S6 Abstract Large tsunamis strike the British Columbia coast an average of once every several hundred years. Some of the tsunamis, including one from Alaska in 1964, are the result of distant great earthquakes. Most, however, are triggered by earthquakes at the Cascadia subduction zone, which extends along the Paci"c coast from Vancouver Island to northern California. Evidence of these tsunamis has been found in tidal marshes and low-elevation coastal lakes on western Vancouver Island. The tsunamis deposited sheets of sand and gravel now preserved in sequences of peat and mud. These sheets commonly contain marine fossils, and they thin and "ne landward, consistent with deposition by landward surges of water. They occur in low-energy settings where other possible depositional processes, such as stream #ooding and storm surges, can be ruled out. The most recent large tsunami generated by an earthquake at the Cascadia subduction zone has been dated in Washington and Japan to AD 1700. The spatial distribution of the deposits of the 1700 tsunami, together with theoretical numerical modelling, indicate wave run-ups of up to 5 m asl along the outer coast of Vancouver Island and up to 15}20 m asl at the heads of some inlets.

  • An Explorative Study Into the Sedimentary Structures Left from the Good Friday Tsunami
    Proceedings from the University of Washington School of Oceanography Senior Thesis, Academic Year 2012-2013 Finding ‘Good Friday’ An explorative study into the sedimentary structures left from the Good Friday tsunami Isaac Benton 1University of Washington, School of Oceanography, Box 355351, Seattle, Washington 98195 [email protected] Received June 2013 NONTECHNICAL SUMMARY In 1964 the small logging town of Port Alberni, Vancouver Island B.C., was struck by the tsunami generated by the Good Friday earthquake ( ) originating near Anchorage, Alaska. This is Canada’s most destructive tsunami to date, resulting in nearly $72,000,000 in damages (adjusted for inflation). The destructive nature of the tsunami is the result of tsunami ‘ringing’ inside of Alberni Inlet, a narrow 42 km long inlet on the west side of Vancouver Island. The trapped energy of the tsunami oscillated for at least 2 days which at times exceeded wave heights of 8 m (Fine et al. 2008). In attempts to find evidence left from this tsunami on the seabed of Alberni Inlet a tsunamite, any sedimentary structure deposited from a tsunami, was recovered in one of the inlets deep basins. This tsunamite was identified as being deposited close to the year 1964 through the use of core sampling, x-radiography, and Cesium (137Cs) dating. The structure found is comprised of a thick layer of sand and gravel sandwiched between two layers of mud. The findings support the theory that low wave energy at the bottom of several of Alberni Inlet’s deep basins (>200m) that are separated by sills ensured that any tsunamite deposited there was not remobilized, re-suspended, and thus destroyed.
