  • Technological products (describe in details: technical characteristics, place)
  1. Location traces distribution of paleo - earthquakes and paleo - tsunami in the Nghe Tinh coastal. Reflected in the ratio of 1/100 000.
  2. The cross section of Quaternary sediments, geological and geophysical of the traces suspected by paleo - tsunami and paleo earthquake created. Reflected in the ratio of 1/10 000.
  3. Report on scientific research methods, the absolute age of sedimentary traces, resulting diagrams, calculations to determine the location, magnitude of the earthquake and tsunami in the Nghe Tinh coastal.
Recommendations
  • If conditions need to conduct drilling, sampling and analysis underlying absolute age to be able to match and explain more clearly the phenomenon of the sediment distribution.
  • If conducted sampling and analysis of the absolute age class distribution in the vertical cross section oysters in the Nghe Tinh coastal more details will be explained in more detail on the distribution of materials tsunami in middle Holocene in the Nghe Tinh coastal region.
