, Charoentitirat, T. T., & ... Kanjanapayont, P. P. (2007). Erosion and Deposition by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami in Phuket and Phang-nga Provinces, Thailand. Journal Of Coastal Research, 23(5), 1270-1276. I use this source to demonstrate to my readers the process the tsunami undertakes as it flows inland and then back to the ocean. This focuses particularly on the erosion and deposition processes of the tsunami, and how and why they occur. Fujino, S., Naruse, H., Matsumoto, d., Sakakura, N., Suphawajruksakul, A., & Jarupongsakul, T. (2010). Detailed measurements of thickness and grain size of a widespread onshore tsunami deposit in Phang-nga Province, southwestern Thailand. Island Arc, 19(3), 389398. doi:10.1111/j.1440-1738.2010.00730.x I am using this source to demonstrate the power a Tsunami has to erode great swaths of land and deposit equally great amounts of sediment, and I am also using this article to supply proofs to support these claims. Additionally, the grain size is important if I am going to elaborate on the sorting and energy levels of a tsunami and this journal covers the grain size of tsunamideposited sediment across wide areas. Fujima, K., Shigihara, Y., Tomita, T., Honda, K., Nobuoka, H., Hanzawa, M., & ... Koshimura, S. (2006). Survey Results of the Indian Ocean Tsunami in the Maldives. Coastal Engineering Journal, 48(2), 81-97. This source helps me cover the extent to which the Maldives were affected by the Tsunami dispite being nearly 1250 miles away from the epicenter of the tsunami event. this helps me explain differences in sediment deposits because the tsunami has traveled so much further than it did to reach Thailand or even India while still maintaining a very high energy level. I don't find the call to make the Maldives safer very useful in my paper, but it is interesting to note that the Maldives are generally very low-lying islands. Mrner, N., Laborel, J., & Dawson, S. (2008). Submarine "Sandstorms" and Tsunami Events in the Indian Ocean. Journal Of Coastal Research, 24(6), 1608-1611. This source helps me by putting the indian ocean tsunami into perspective via a chronological timeline. Tsunamis happen with some regular frequency (due to tectonic activity) and with carbon dating, this journal indicates how past tsunamis have shaped and affected the Indian Ocean area. (It also has a strong call to increase our overall awareness of tsunami events and increase the amount of geological study within the field- a very strong way to finish a paper or presentation)

Naruse, H., Fujino, S., Suphawajruksakul, A., & Jarupongsakul, T. (2010). Features and formation processes of multiple deposition layers from the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami at Ban Nam Kem, southern Thailand. Island Arc, 19(3), 399-411. doi:10.1111/j.14401738.2010.00732.x This source is useful for describing how tsunami sediment is deposited (four layers) and what the majority of the sediment is composed of within each layer. This contains very useful stratigraphic data from the Thailand area which aids me in my quest to assemble a bigger picture of sediment transport driven by the 2004 tsunami. Nichol, S. L., & Kench, P. S. (2008). Sedimentology and preservation potential of carbonate sand sheets deposited by the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami: South Baa Atoll, Maldives. Sedimentology, 55(5), 1173-1187. doi:10.1111/j.1365-3091.2007.00941.x This source gives me additional stratigraphic data on the volume, cover, and composition of tidal sedimentary deposits. Since I am covering such a wide area (the 2004 tsunami wave was a massive event) It is important to use data gathered from multiple affected areas for my research, the Maldives are one such place, but I am also interested in India and Thailand as major affected areas. Sugawara, D., Minoura, K., Nemoto, N., Tsukawaki, S., Goto, K., & Imamura, F. (2009). Foraminiferal evidence of submarine sediment transport and deposition by backwash during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Island Arc, 18(3), 513-525. doi:10.1111/j.14401738.2009.00677.x This source focuses on where the sediment is carried during the tsunami wave's back flow. It tells us that much of the debris and sediment captured by the wave is deposited seaward offshore. The types of sediment carried out to sea and the types left behind on the beach are important to distinguish, and this source helps me do that. Yeh, H., Francis, M., Peterson, C., Katada, T., Latha, G. G., Chadha, R. K., & ... Raghuraman, G. G. (2007). Effects of the 2004 Great Sumatra Tsunami: Southeast Indian Coast. Journal Of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering, 133(6), 382-400. doi:10.1061/(ASCE)0733-950X(2007)133:6(382) I am using this source to cover more of the disaster/ devastation aspects of the Tsunami, including what it is capable of carrying, how much energy it has, how far it flows inland, what it can take back out to the ocean, and etc. This is useful to me because it will demonstrate that while Tsunami waves may throw cars and place boats on top of office buildings, they are also moving tons (actual tons) of sediment and taking it along for the ride as well.
