  abstract = {{T}his study presents the results of paleo-tsunami investigation in marshes of the southern and eastern coasts of {M}artinique {I}sland ({L}esser {A}ntilles, {F}rance). {A} sand unit dated 1726-1813 cal. {CE} at 30 cm depth at {A}nse {M}eunier represents the most convincing evidence of high-energy coastal flooding of the last 5000 years on the island. {S}edimentological analyses combined with tsunami simulations demonstrate that this sand deposit likely corresponds to the 1755 {CE} {L}isbon transatlantic tsunami. {N}o other tsunami or hurricane event was identified on the 11 marshes investigated. {T}he 1755 {L}isbon tsunami is thus the only tsunami recorded in the stratigraphy of coastal marshes of the southern and eastern coasts of {M}artinique {I}sland during the last 3500 years, even if we cannot exclude the possibility of larger-magnitude but lower-frequency tsunamis that would not be recorded in coastal stratigraphy during this period.},
