| Purpose | Collect tsunami measurements including water level, run-up elevation, inundation distance, tsunami flow direction, topographic profile, erosion depths, and tsunami sand deposit thickness and characteristics. Samples of tsunami sands were collected for laboratory analyses for grain size distribution, microfossil content, mineralogy, and chemistry. Box cores and pipe cores were also taken for stratigraphy. | ||||||||
