1. Professor Simon Haslett and Dr. Ted Bryant presented evidence that a tsunami, rather than a storm, caused widespread flooding along the coasts of Wales and Somerset in 1607 that resulted in over 2000 deaths. 2. They conducted fieldwork along the coast to examine landscapes and sediment layers for signs of a tsunami, and sampled and analyzed sediments from locations mentioned in historic accounts of the 1607 flooding. 3. Their research and a BBC documentary about the 1607 tsunami received significant interest, with viewers providing new information and locations for further study, and inspiring other researchers to study tsunami history.
