The Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, has typically been considered a tectonically stable region without significant seismic activity, in contrast, the region is one that is regularly affected by hurricanes. A detailed survey of ca. 100 km of the eastern Yu... Read More about An extreme wave event in eastern Yucatán, Mexico: Evidence of a paleotsunami event during the Mayan times.
