Thanks Canie, I will be very interested in your link (especially since I may be in Port au Prince in January). I'll read it later today.

I'm one of about 20 co-authors on another paper on Haiti in the same issue. The link is about strike-slip earthquakes triggering submarine landslides that trigger local tsunamis. But, there are some very important differences between Haiti and offshore California that I will post here later.
