Ancient Tsunami Records in the Viscous Remanent Magnetization of Reworked Boulders in the Kingdom of Tonga

Ancient Tsunami Records in the Viscous Remanent Magnetization of Reworked Boulders in the Kingdom of Tonga

Abstract The movement history of boulders is crucial for the reconstruction of paleo‐tsunamis. We report findings from viscous remanent magnetization studies of the boulders on Tongatapu Island, aiming to reconstruct their reworkings. Two boulders exhibited viscous remanence, whereas two larger boul...
