KlappentextThe author shows that the resulting tsunami would have the characteristics described by ancient writers, and uses modern GPS measurements and coastline geomorphology to show that the strain build-up near Crete requires such a tsunami-earthquake about every 6.000 years - a major insight into Mediterranean tsunami hazard.
ZusammenfassungThis work examines what was responsible for a tsunami that destroyed settlements in the Mediterranean in 365 AD. It details how western Crete was lifted out of the sea by up to 10 meters in a massive earthquake, which occurred on a previously unknown fault.
