Fig. 4: Comparison of AMS 14C dating results between the tephra layers originating from Ulleung Island, the western coast of Japan, and the three intervals indicating tsunami events in the study area.
From: Submarine volcanic microbiota record three volcano-induced tsunamis
Event I is correlated with tephra layer U-3 (or N-3), suggesting that this event is related to the volcanic activity on Ulleung Island. The other two tsunami events are likely related to other submarine volcanic events in the East Sea and correlate with sections on the western coast of Japan analyzed by a previous study. (The error for cal. kyr BP is ±2σ).
