Talk:1531 Lisbon earthquake

Contradictions
There seems to be confusion among the sources used here about certain facts. The Miranda et al PDF gives a date of 26 January, but only 1000 casualties. The Justo article doesn't give an exact date (at least on page 1, which is all I can see). The Bharatdwaj and Hoffman sources both have the 30,000 number, but Hoffman gives the date as 3 January. This WP:ERRORS discussion gives more details. — howcheng  {chat} 19:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Those are the wrong epicenter coordinates.
The epicenter is misplaced on the map, those the incorrect coordinates. The seismic event had its epicenter near Vila Franca de Xira, in the Tagus riverbed, and it affected the river flow inducing a mini-tsunami all along the northern edge of the river. Please see the research paper "The 1531 Lisbon Earthquake: A Tsunami in the Tagus Estuary?" by M. A. Baptista, J. M. Miranda, and J. Batlló, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 104, No. 5, pp. 2149–2161, October 2014, doi: 10.1785/0120130316 85.138.155.155 (talk) 10:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
