Vestígios do tsunami de 1755: um indicador negligenciado no litoral de Portugal continental?

Tsunami may cause extreme flooding of coastal areas with devastating effects. This chapter covers part of the research carried out on the remnants of the 1755 tsunami in Portugal mainland, perhaps the most devastating in our territory. The country geostrutural context makes it prone to this extreme event, which left its remains on the Western and Southern coast of Portugal mainland, shown by several research studies. The typological multiplicity of tsunami records is proven in this study by two distinct works, one in Lisbon (new Coach Museum) and the other in Odemira (in Malhão area).
