PhD on tsunami deposits
From: Raphaël PARIS <[email protected]>
****************************************************************************************

Dear colleagues,

I have obtained from the Region Auvergne a PhD grant on the following
topic: "microtomography of tsunami deposits" (see paragraph below for more
information on the project). If you know good students who could be able to
manage such a project here in Clermont, please let me know.
------------------------------
--------------------
Seven years after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the sedimentary record of
palaeotsunamis worldwide is getting more and more documented, and
scientists have now access to a complete proxy toolkit, including
sedimentological, micropaleontological,  geochronological and geochemical
methods. This multidisciplinary approach allows determining
paleoenvironments before, during and after the tsunami, even if one or more
proxies may lack depending on the local setting. Despite considerable
progress in palaeotsunami research, distinguishing tsunami from storm
deposits is still complex, and reconstructing a past tsunami after its
deposits remains difficult. Information given by the grain-size
distribution, paleontological and geochemical analyses of bulk samples from
onshore tsunami deposits have limitations due to (1) the destruction of
sedimentary structures of these unconsolidated sediments and (2) the
subjectivity and low resolution of manual sampling on the field.
Furthermore, the structure and vertical grain-size trends of tsunami
deposits are rapidly modified by bioturbation.
This PhD project aims at developing high-resolution X-ray tomography (Paris
et al., submitted) as a tool for better characterise the texture and
microstructure of tsunami deposits (e.g. internal structure, clast fabric,
grain-size micro-variations). Dataset are already available and include
Krakatau 1883, Lisbon 1755 and Karymsky Lake 1996 tsunamis.
