Location maps of the study site and topographic profiles of the studied transects. a Map of Japan. b Detail of east Japan showing the epicenter of the main shock of the 2011 M 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake (black star) and the associated coseismic slip distribution (dashed lines; Ozawa et al. 2011). c Aerial photograph of the study site in the coastal pine forest of Oirase. The inundation limit is inferred from eyewitness accounts and the debris distribution reported by Tanigawa et al. (2018). The run-up height (the elevation at the most inland point inundated by the tsunami) and inundation height (the maximum inundation depth at a given point) are from The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Joint Survey Group (2011). d, e Topographic profiles and sampling locations along Transects A and B
