Description 1378-1383
Present
study is the applicability of rock magnetic techniques, coupled with
geochemical (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3,
CaO, MgO, K2O, P2O5, and MnO) and texture size
measurements, as a proxy tool to identify tsunami induced deposits in the core
sediments from the Chennai coast, India. Down core profiles of mass
specific magnetic susceptibility (), ARM and SIRM are similar in
all sediment cores, and reflect changes in the detrital component mineralogy
which is largely influenced by the tsunami event. To identify the connection
between the tsunami deposit and different sedimentologic units present in the
study area, textural, geochemical and rock magnetic data were processed by
multivariate statistical analyses.
