Identifying the cause of past tsunamis is of paramount importance to mitigate the risk connected with future events, but recognizing a landslide-tsunami when the mass failure is entirely submarine is very challenging because of the paucity of detectable evidence (e.g., Lynett et al. 1998; Tappin et al. 2001; Synolakis et al. 2002; Fritz et al. 2007).
