The mudflats gradually rose by a meter, as judged from fossil diatom assemblages. Both the tsunami and the ensuing uplift exceeded any in the region's 200 years of written history, and both resulted from a shallow plate-boundary earthquake of unusually large size along the Kuril subduction zone. This earthquake probably induced more creep farther down the plate boundary than did any of the region's historical events.}, pages = {1918--1920}, title = {Transient uplift after a 17th-century earthquake along the kuril subduction zone}, volume = {306}, year = {2004} }
