The 2018 Palu Tsunami: Coeval Landslideand Coseismic Sources

Published in Seismological Research Letters, 2020

In thisIn this study, we posit that subaerial, submarine landslides, and coseismic offsets all contributed to the 2018 Palu, Indonesia tsunami’s damaging impact. We explore many possible tsunami sources in addition to the earthquake’s rupture near the bay, solving for both coseismic offsets and potential landsliding events in a self-consistent model.
