Résumé : The strong earthquake (M = 6.3) occurred on 21st November 2004 in the DominicaPassage, between Guadeloupe and Dominica (Lesser Antilles), generated aweak tsunami with maximum amplitude 80 cm on neighbouring islands. Field surveyis conducted on November 27, 2004. Data of the field survey are described. Results ofthe numerical simulations in the framework of the shallow-water theory are in reasonableagreement with observed data.

Résumé : International audience
The 1867 Virgin Island Tsunami reached large magnitude on the coasts of the Caribbean Islands. A maximum tsunami height of 10 m was reported for two coastal locations (Deshaies and Sainte-Rose) in Guadeloupe. Modelling of the 1867 tsunami is performed in the framework of the nonlinear shallow-water theory. The directivity of the tsunami wave source in the Caribbean Sea according to the assumed initial waveform is investigated. The tsunami records at the several coastal regions in the Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and South America are simulated. The comparison between the computed and observed data is in reasonable agreement.

Résumé : http://library.lanl.gov/tsunami/231/pel.pdf
A strong earthquake (mb = 6.3; Ms = 6.1; Mw = 6.3) occurred on 21 November 2004 in the Dominica Passage separating Guadeloupe and Dominica, in the Lesser Antilles, and generated a weak tsunami with maximum amplitudes of +70 and -80 cm on neighbouring islands. We conducted field surveys on the islands of “Les Saintes”, in the immediate vicinity of the epicenter on November 27, 2004 and February 12, 2005, and report here on the resulting dataset.

Résumé : International audience
The main goal of this study is to give the preliminary estimates of the tsunami risks for the Lesser Antilles. We investigated the available data of the tsunamis in the French West Indies using the historical data and catalogue of the tsunamis in the Lesser Antilles. In total, twenty-four (24) tsunamis were recorded in this area for last 400 years; sixteen (16) events of the seismic origin, five (5) events of volcanic origin and three (3) events of unknown source. Most of the tsunamigenic earthquakes (13) occurred in the Caribbean, and three tsunamis were generated during far away earthquakes (near the coasts of Portugal and Costa Rica). The estimates of tsunami risk are based on a preliminary analysis of the seismicity of the Caribbean area and the historical data of tsunamis. In particular, we investigate the occurrence of historical extreme runup tsunami data on Guadeloupe, and these data are revised after a survey in Guadeloupe.
