Tsunamis

Dec 19-I thought part of the flank of Kilauea was moving a bit faster-10 cm/yr which is more like 4 inches a year. I checked the AGU abstracts volume and Fryer is co-author on H22G-08 by Watts that says there is considerable agreement that debris tens to 100s of m above sea level in the Hawaiian Islands date to the same time as megalandslides. I read an article on a deposit in Australia that the authors (different authors) attributed to one of these tsunamis-I found their correlation/interpretation extremely weak. There was a poster by Hagstrum at AGU-an impact proposed about a million years before the end of the Cretaceous (before end of dinosaurs) in east Pacific that might have made a tsunami 4 km high that was still 1 km high when it hit the coasts of the Pacific. There is not too much I can do about that, so I guess I'll just clean my home office, having completed 1 research proposal today after finding that yet another was rejected....Anyone need a farmhand?
