Abstract

Some past tsunamis in various regions of Canada have been reviewed. These tsunamis have occurred from a variety of sources: under-ocean earthquakes, sub-marine landslides and human-made inadvertent large chemical explosions. Resonance amplification of the tsunami has been identified as important in the Alberni Inlet on the Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and also in the Burin Inlet in Newfoundland. The results of the various numerical models for tsunami generation, propagation onto the shelf, and into the coastal inlets that formed the scientific basis for the British Columbia tsunami warning system have been briefly discussed.
