Tsunami deposit data and sediment transport models from the Salmon River estuary, central Oregon

This data release contains sedimentological data and numerical models representing the circa 1700 CE tsunami in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon. The thickness of sandy tsunami deposits was identified in hundreds of cores that map the extent of the deposit throughout the estuary. Grainsize data demonstrate the inland fining of the sandy tsunami deposits. The distribution of tsunami deposits was used to test numerical models of tsunami sediment transport and hypothetical earthquake sources representing megathrust rupture in the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
