A study was made on samples from one core collected immediately after the December 2004 Asian tsunami to know the geochemical nature of the offshore tsunami sediments. The core sample was analyzed for sediment grain size, CaCO<Subscript>3</Subscript>, organic carbon (OC) and major elements (SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>, Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>,...</subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript>

A study on the possible inundation limit in SE coast of India was carried out using various physical, geological and satellite imageries. The coastal inundation hazard map was prepared for this particular region as it was affected by many cyclones, flooding, storm surge and tsunami waves during...

Offshore sediment characteristics of the 2004 tsunami were identified from a shallow core collected from the Chennai Coast, India. The depositional sequence clearly distinguishes four different processes: mixed facies (post-tsunami): 0–8 cm; tsunami return flow facies (TRFF): 8–20 cm;...
