Tsunamis caused by submarine slope failures along western Great Bahama Bank

Among potential source areas for such tsunamis are submarine landslides and margin collapses of Bahamian platforms. Numerical models of past events, which have been identified using high-resolution multibeam bathymetric data, reveal possible tsunami impact on Bimini, the Florida Keys, and northern Cuba. Tsunamis caused by slope failures with terminal landslide velocity of 20 ms −1 will either dissipate while traveling through the Straits of Florida, or generate a maximum wave of 1.5 m at the Florida coast. Modeling a worst-case scenario with a calculated terminal landslide velocity generates a wave of 4.5 m height. The modeled margin collapse in southwestern Great Bahama Bank potentially has a high impact on northern Cuba, with wave heights between 3.3 to 9.5 m depending on the collapse velocity. The short distance and travel time from the source areas to densely populated coastal areas would make the Florida Keys and Miami vulnerable to such low-probability but high-impact events.

A structural and Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility study from the Paleozoic basement, the Mesozoic-Tertiary sedimentary cover and the Pleistocene lavas from the Island of Zannone (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)

The island represents the only remaining part of the internal Apennine chains that have been extremely stretched and disrupted due to post-Apenninic extension during Pliocene and Pleistocene. This work aims to establish the relationship between the magnetic fabric and the different tectonic phases. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) has been measured on 142 oriented specimens collected from 19 sites, representing the Paleozoic meta-sandstones, Late Triassic dolomites, Cretaceous to Eocene Scaglia Rossa limestones, Miocenic flysch and the overlying Messinian gypsy marls. Further, discordant trachytic lavas have been sampled. The upper part of Dolomia Principale, Maiolica, Messinian marls and Quarternary lavas show mainly isotropic f...
