Abstract
Kingston, Jamaica has a long history of natural disasters, including large earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis The city is situated near the Enriquillo‐Plantain Garden Fault Zone, which has made recent news as the fault responsible for the 12 January 2010 Haiti earthquake. Submarine slides and near‐shore liquefaction may have triggered several tsunamis in Kingston Harbor. Here, we present preliminary results assessing the frequency, location, and pattern of sliding and liquefaction in the harbor. Ultimately, we will use these data to constrain the frequency of earthquake events, and to assess geological hazards across the region.
