 mass failures modelled here occur much closer to the Australian coastline and do not require a 
 separate model for the deep water propagation. Here, we choose to model the submarine mass failure
-according to the work by Grilli and Watts which provides an inital surface elevation function
-which can then be propagated ashore. 
+according to the work by Watts and Grilli \cite{watts:smf} 
+which provides an inital surface elevation function
+which can then be propagated ashore. This model has been based on
+experimental work by these authors and allows an initial condition to be applied rather
+than modelling the mechanism of the slide. Therefore, this model is adequate for the purposes of this study
+to highlight the potential danger from a slide. Further validation work is required before
+this model is used for detailed impact analysis.
 
 To capture the \emph{impact} of a tsunami to a coastal community, we use ANUGA \cite{ON:modsim}.
