tableDigital
Discover where, when and how severely tsunamis affected Earth in geologic history. Information regarding Tsunami Deposits and Proxies for Tsunami Events complements the historical records currently available through the Global Tsunami Database.
Tsunami deposits are the physical evidence left behind when a tsunami impacts a shoreline or
affects submarine sediments. These deposits can be preserved in the geologic record and studied long after the
tsunami waves dissipate. The tsunami deposits database compliments and extends the historical record of tsunami
events.

dataset
This database was developed in 2006 when Dr. Barbara Keating of the University of Hawaii provided the
National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) with a spreadsheet listing various references (articles, books)
describing tsunami deposits for archive and distribution. NGDC imported the data into a relational
database and began to quality-control and improve the data. The tsunami deposits database compliments and
extends the historical record.
The database was created in 2006 from a spreadsheet compiled and provided by Dr. Barbara Keating of the University of Hawaii.

The existing references are well documented, but with the large growth of articles on tsunami

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015.
