Sublacustrine landslide and tsunami models from Lake Quinault, Washington
This USGS data release provides model setup files to simulate a hypothetical sublacustrine landslide in Lake Quinault and resulting tsunami waves. The BingClaw model (Kim and others, 2019; Kim and others, 2025) is used to model slope failure and GeoClaw (Berger and LeVeque, 2023; Clawpack Development Team, 2025) is used to model tsunami propagation and inundation. A topobathymetric digital terrain model (DTM) used in both models is provided and was merged from several elevation data sources (National Centers for Environmental Information, 2023; Washington Geological Survey, 2012; 2018; 2019; 2020). Zip files are provided for each model that can be used to reproduce the simulations. An example set of modeled outputs are also provided in each zip file.
