Abstract
Many mass movement features have been mapped in the Monterey Bay region of central California. Most of these features have the appearance of being displaced by fluid flow. Therefore, fluids may have played a major role in facilitating mass movement along this tectonically active continental margin and will do so in the future. We selected three major areas of mass movement located within submarine canyons and modeled their potential to generate tsunamis. Run-up extent is dependent upon slump geometry, depth and size, and we believe that two could have produced tsunamis. The third area exhibits multiple retrogressive failures and future tsunami occurrences appear feasible.
