Abstract

Through extensive literature review deals with the characterization of historic tsunami deposits and global paleotsunamis depending on the geomorphology of beaches, taking into account the methods, techniques and criteria used in their analysis. Such experiences require a conceptualization that encourage systematization and give answers to where and how to identify areas of past tsunami deposits for this morphological unit. Analysis allowed detection of determinants of the coastal drive in high energy processes of tsunamis, impacts, and the importance of the beach as a research of recent events.
