Graehl (2009) Sand deposition mech
This thesis examines sand deposition mechanisms in Holocene marsh stratigraphy from South Crescent Marsh, a coastal marsh near Crescent City, California. 18 sediment cores were extracted and analyzed to map the subsurface stratigraphy. Four laterally continuous sand sheets were identified within mud, muddy peat, peaty mud, and peat layers. The sand sheets are interpreted to have been deposited by tsunamis generated locally from the Cascadia Subduction Zone, distant tsunamis from other parts of the Pacific Rim, or by storm waves during periods of extreme climate. The stratigraphy preserves a record of paleo-inundation events but the origin of individual sand sheets cannot be conclusively determined.

How Chile used social media during the Earthquake
This document discusses how social media networks helped Chile stay connected during a major earthquake in 2010. It provides key facts about the earthquake including its magnitude of 8.8, location along Chile's coast between Santiago and Concepcion, and damage level with 500,000 homes destroyed and 2 million people affected. It then outlines how Chileans used hashtags like #terremotochile on Facebook groups and Twitter to share information and organize relief efforts such as a fundraising campaign that raised over $44,000 Canadian dollars for Red Cross earthquake relief.
chile_022710_quake.ppt
A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of central Chile on February 27, 2010. The quake caused severe damage in Santiago, Chile's capital, and in Concepcion, its second largest city. Over 700 deaths were reported in the aftermath. A tsunami was generated that caused damage in Chile's Juan Fernandez islands and tsunami warnings were issued across the Pacific. The earthquake occurred in a subduction zone where the Nazca plate is sliding underneath the South American plate.
Chile earthquake, 1960
Hereby presenting the worst earthquake in the history of the world. So many people died in that earthquake as there was this tsunami who nearly damaged as much as the earthquake did. I have collected as much as data I could collect. Hope it is helpful.
Chile earthquake earthquake
Chile is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire and experiences frequent powerful earthquakes due to subduction between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates. The 1960 Valdivia earthquake, measuring 9.5 magnitude, was the most powerful ever recorded and caused a tsunami with 80 foot waves, leaving 2 million homeless and 1600 dead. Chile ranks as one of the most earthquake vulnerable countries due to its location and infrastructure damage from repeated seismic activity in northern Chile.
Presentac..[1]
The 2010 Chile earthquake occurred off the coast of Chile on February 27, 2010, measuring 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale. It caused a devastating tsunami that hit coastal towns, and a blackout affected 93% of Chile's population for several days. Over 500 lives were lost due to collapsed and damaged buildings, and tens of thousands of homes were damaged. Strong aftershocks continued throughout the year, including some over magnitude 5.5.
Chile earthquake - February 2010
The earthquake that struck Chile on February 27, 2010 was very powerful, measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale. While it caused significant damage, destroying 500,000 homes and killing around 800 people, the death toll and destruction was much lower than the 2010 Haiti earthquake that killed over 220,000. This is because Chile is a more prosperous and better prepared country, with stricter building codes and education of citizens about earthquake safety. Chile has also learned from previous large quakes, including developing reinforced concrete and steel construction techniques that help buildings withstand seismic activity.
Carolina-Chile Relief Fund
On February 27, 2010, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck central Chile, shaking six regions of the country for 90 seconds and generating a tsunami. The earthquake destroyed infrastructure like highways, bridges, and roads, hampering rescue efforts. Coastal cities suffered heavy damage from the powerful tsunami waves. Over 800 people were reported missing or dead in the hard-hit city of Concepción, though mistakes in reporting lowered the final death toll. Rescue workers spent days searching through collapsed buildings for survivors. International aid was requested to help Chile rebuild from the devastating effects of the earthquake and tsunami.
Focus Events of the 1960s
This 45-minute presentation focuses on two natural disaster events that occurred in the 1960s that changed how we approach responding to disastrous incidents in the United States: The Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964 & Hurricane Betsy in 1965.

Haiti earthquake
The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake with its epicenter just west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. It caused widespread destruction and loss of life, with the Haitian government estimating 230,000 people were killed and over 1 million were left homeless. The earthquake exposed Haiti's vulnerabilities as a poor country, destroying much of its infrastructure, hospitals, housing, and government buildings. International aid efforts struggled to provide relief due to the massive scale of the damage and Haiti's lack of resources.

Haiti Casestudy
The 2010 earthquake in Haiti caused widespread damage and loss of life. It occurred on January 12th near the capital city of Port-au-Prince, registering a magnitude of 7.0. Over 300,000 people were killed by collapsed buildings and infrastructure due to a lack of earthquake-resistant construction and safety standards. The government's buildings were destroyed, hampering coordination of emergency response. Difficulties delivering aid through rubble-clogged streets exacerbated the death toll and long-term impacts, including over 1 million remaining displaced a year later.
Magnitude 8.8 OFFSHORE MAULE, CHILE
A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Chile, 200 miles from Santiago. It caused major damage in Concepcion, Chile's second largest city near the epicenter. Over 100 deaths were reported so far and the numbers were expected to rise due to damage to infrastructure and remote locations still unreachable. A tsunami was generated which caused damage along the Chilean coast and warnings were issued for other Pacific areas.

An 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck Chile on February 27th, 2010, causing devastating damage and triggering a tsunami. The city of Concepcion was heavily impacted, and residents took to the streets to search for supplies in the aftermath. Photos document the destruction in Concepcion and other affected areas in Chile.
The Role Of Muckraking In Haiti
The document discusses the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti. It caused massive destruction, killing tens of thousands and leaving over a million people homeless. Some conspiracy theorists believe the earthquake may have been caused by HAARP, a military program that can potentially use electromagnetic waves to influence the ionosphere and possibly trigger seismic activity. However, most scientists attribute the earthquake to the shifting of tectonic plates along a fault line near Haiti. The document explores both the official scientific explanation and alternative theories about the potential role of HAARP in causing the earthquake.

1) On August 14, 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck southwestern Haiti, killing over 2,000 people, injuring thousands more, and damaging or destroying over 130,000 homes.
2) The earthquake exacerbated Haiti's humanitarian crisis, as the country had not yet recovered from the 2010 earthquake and subsequent disasters. Infrastructure was destroyed, limiting access to healthcare and aid.
3) International organizations deployed search and rescue teams, aircraft, and over 1,700 tons of food and relief supplies. Medical evacuations transported over 380 injured people to hospitals. However, increased gang violence since the president's assassination has threatened humanitarian access.
