One possible way to know these intervals is to study the offshore sedimentary record, looking for sediment remobilised and transported by the incoming tsunami waves and generated backwash currents. Even if these deposits are not of easy access (and not so well studied), the tsunami depositional signature has potential to be better preserved than those located onshore.engconference object2021-07-27cv-prod-176594110.5194/egusphere-egu2020-20706P-00R-W5X
