Abstract
⺠Seismic profiles and cores from the Saguenay and Reloncavi Fjords are presented. ⺠Decimeter to meter-thick turbidites were related to large magnitude earthquakes. ⺠The normally-graded turbidites are characterized by a homogenous fining upward tail. ⺠A sand layer interpreted as a tsunami deposit was observed in Reloncavi Fjord. ⺠Fjords are pristine sites to record historical and pre-historical earthquakes.
