Abstract: | An accurate assessment of tsunami risk of a region requires a credible record of past tsunami events in the region. Existing
surveys on historical tsunamis of South China have not presented a consistent list of events. The current report makes reference
to original historical literature and evaluates the validity of suspected tsunami events in published surveys. A set of refined
historical data for further investigation of the tsunami hazard in the region was produced. Only two events have been identified
as credible reports of tsunami in the current study. Some events previously considered as tsunami, including a few with great
reported casualties, are found to be unsubstantiable. |
