Multi-Proxy Characterisation of the Storegga Tsunami and Its Impact on the Early Holocene Landscapes of the Southern North Sea

Vincent Gaffney et al.

Uses seismic survey data, sedimentary ancient DNA and radiocarbon dating from a buried palaeo-valley to show the Storegga tsunami reached and reshaped the submerged Mesolithic landscape of Doggerland around 8,150 years ago, rather than leaving the southern North Sea untouched as long assumed.
