Tsunami records of the last 8000 years in the Andaman Island, India, from mega and large earthquakes: Insights on recurrence interval.
Javed N. Malik,Frango C. Johnson,Afzal Khan,Afzal Khan,Santiswarup Sahoo,Roohi Irshad,Debajyoti Paul,Shreya Arora,Pankaj Kumar Baghel,Sundeep Chopra +9 more
TL;DR: The sequence includes an unexplained hiatus of two or three millennia ending around 1400 CE, which could be attributed to accelerated erosion due to Relative Sea-Level (RSL) fall at ~3500 BP, and a recurrence of 420–750 years for mega-earthquakes having different source, and an shorter interval of 80–120 years for large magnitude earthquakes.

TL;DR: Malik et al. as mentioned in this paper found that along with Sumatran arc segment the Andaman-Arakan segment is also capable of generating mega-subduction zone earthquakes and transoceanic tsunamis.

Javed N. Malik,Shrey Arora,Mahendrasinh S. Gadhavi,Gurvinder Singh,Prabhat Kumar,Frango C. Johnson,Mahesh Thakur,J. Raoof +7 more
TL;DR: The Khetpurali Taksal Fault (KTF) as discussed by the authors demarcates a segment boundary dividing ∼100 km locked width of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) between Central (Kumaon-Garhwal) and NW (Himachal) Himalaya.

Foraminiferal Assemblages of Inferred Onshore Paleotsunami Deposits in Southwestern Andaman Islands, India
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined qualitative and quantitative characteristics of foraminiferal species within the inferred paleotsunami deposits of southwestern Andaman Island using sediment samples from six geoslice sections up to a depth of ∼2.5m.
