An international team involving the research group led by Frédérique Leclerc, a faculty member and researcher at Géoazur, is opening up new avenues for identifying the traces left by tsunami-generating earthquakes. This research, published in the journal *Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems*, proposes innovative approaches to better understand these rare but highly impactful phenomena.
By analyzing the geological signatures associated with tsunamis, researchers are refining methods for reconstructing the history of these events. This breakthrough contributes to better coastal risk assessment and a more detailed understanding of the dynamics of undersea earthquakes.
