Topography and tsunami deposit properties along the investigated transects. See Fig. 1 for transect locations. For each transect, the following properties are presented: shore-perpendicular morphological profile up to the inundation limit (scales in [m]) with marked locations of trenches and simplified sedimentological logs of the investigated tsunami deposits (the size of the sedimentological logs is not to scale), T—thickness of tsunami deposits (scale in [cm]), M—mean grain size of tsunami deposits (scale in [phi]; if more than one sample was investigated in a profile, the samples are marked with letters; “a” stands for the uppermost sample), So—sorting (scale in [phi]), Sk—skewness (scale in [phi]), Mud—mud fraction content (scale in weight %) and Gr—gravel fraction content (scale in weight %). Legend for the simplified sedimentological logs: (1) very coarse sand, (2) coarse sand, (3) medium sand, (4) fine sand, (5) mud, (6) normal gradation, (7) erosional contact/sharp contact, (8) desiccation structures, (9) mud clasts, (10) coral reef fragments in sand matrix, (11) concrete blocks/plant fragments and coconut detritus and (12) samples taken only from a part of the tsunami deposits profile.
