NotesStudies four sheets of tsunami-deposited sands between tidal mud and peat in Alsea Bay. "Sampling at Alsea Bay is too limited and transfer functions too imprecise to argue for preseismic subsidence.""Apparant high rates of postseismic uplift inferred from the most reliable reconstructions at Alsea Bay suggest uplift was almost as large as coseismic subsidence."
