Here we report preliminary evidence from Xisha Islands in the South China Sea for a large tsunami around AD 1024. Sand layers in lake sediment cores and their geochemical characteristics indicate a sudden deposition event around AD 1024, temporally consistent with a written record of a disastrous event characterized by high waves in AD 1076. Heavy coral and shell fossils, which are older than AD 1024, deposited more than 200 meters into the island, further support the occurrence of a high-energy event such as a tsunami or an unusually large storm. Our results underscore the importance of acknowledging and understanding the tsunami hazard in this area.

Dongdao Island is very regularly shaped so that it almost looks man-made.
Trump’s fault.
Globull warming’s fault.
I didn’t know a tsunami could live 1,000 years.
Wait a week and there will be yet another tsunami in the area.
Imagine the housekeeper, all that mopping.
I think they just had one?
GGG -- interesting for almost 20 years.
They are always having one in the area.
