Scarping was evident along the eroded sections with maximum shoreline displacement of approximately 6 m on the southeast section of coast (Fig. 8 d). A large splay of overwash deposition occurred on the northeast section of the island with sediments to a maximum thickness of m extending up to 50 m landward of the seaward island ridge. This deposit covered about 13% of the island surface. Elsewhere, there was no evidence of overwash deposition. Of the six beach profiles around the island, five showed that the toe of beach was displaced landward of its pre-tsunami position by variable amounts, except on the western lee-side of the island where it extended beyond the prior envelope of change and occupied a further 1,154 m2 of reef fiat beyond the inner moat surface (Fig. 8f).. 60 40 20 Distance (m) f) Leeward deposition Toe of beach > ^r E "1 I -2 LU .3 . -4 ^T\ Toe of vV" ** beach \vx Reef Reef surface edge / \ . b) 20 40 60 80 Distance (m) 80 60 40 20 Distance (m) e).
