(i) Diatom percentage data and (ii) radiocarbon dates from three tidal marsh cores from Chaihuín, south-central Chile. Cores span ~1400 cal yr BP to present, diatom analysis focussed around three abrupt contacts interpreted to represent three great tsunamigenic earthquakes.

(iii) Stratigraphy data from tidal marsh cores from Chaihuín, south-central Chile, including core locations and depths/thicknesses of tsunami sands. As well as sedimentology of sand sheets, including grain size, sorting and clastic composition data.

Data and full analysis presented in a paper by Hocking et al. in Communications Earth and Environment. Sedimentology data presented in Aedo et al. (2021) Andean Geology doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.5027/andgeoV48n1-3258
