voy aver q tengo.... 

hi Julius, do you want tsunami triggered by sea floor rupture caused by those shallow coastal faults, or are you also considering tsunami triggered by submarine landslides and related phenomena? how shallow are you talking about? search on indonesia and caribeann papers...

Hi Julius,

Directly observed tsunamis (in 1927)   have been triggered by active faulting around  the Dead Sea. Such active faulting and seismicity has resulted in slumping of sediments, which have potentially been reworked by tsunami waves resulting in a range of sedimentary and structural features. Check out the attached reference for details of these tsunami-generated structures in offshore (but shallow water) environments.

Thanks

Article Tsunami and seiche-triggered deformation within offshore sediments

What exactly are you looking for? Tsunami genesis? Tsunamigenic deposits? Coastal effects?

I attached some studys covering more or less all listed attributes:

Thanks Paula, G.I Alsop and Sascha, these are very interesting papers, I'm interested in review the genesis of  tsunamigenic sources in shallow waters at nearshore areas. I detected some active faults at ~120 m depth and I was wondering if these structures could generate a tsunami or not.... thanks again and best regards

Julius, I have the same problem :D .... not ~120 m but almost 200 m .... I had this discussion briefly with someone from the hydrodynamics, I believe there are more to it, than just the depth... the submarine morphology, the distance from inland...as far as I know, this was never described as been able to produce a major tsunami. cheers
