SUMMARY:Current Topics in Geosciences: Prof. James Goff\, UNSW Sydney
DESCRIPTION:There has been a wealth of fascinating research undertaken that
  charts the movement of people across the South Pacific Ocean. What now co
 nstitutes Western and Eastern Polynesia represents two distinct phases of 
 movement punctuated notably by what is termed the “Long Pause”\, an al
 most 2000 year hiatus that occurred on the western edge of the Tonga Trenc
 h – an extensive and active subduction zone that extends southwards from
  Samoa to New Zealand. Past earthquakes and tsunamis around 2800-3000 year
 s ago\, around 2000 years ago\, and in the mid-15th century appear to have
  all left their mark on Polynesian settlements\, culture and use of the oc
 ean seaways. This talk charts some of the tantalising evidence for the eff
 ects of past tsunamis on Polynesian settlement and culture\, with most det
 ail given to the more recent mid-15th century event.
