Ten years ago, on December 26, 2004, one of the world's most
destructive natural disasters occurred. A magnitude Mw 9.1
earthquake (third strongest ever instrumentally recorded) generated
a global tsunami that killed about 230,000 people along the coasts
of 14 countries in the Indian Ocean and propagated as far as the
North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans. Since then, various
countries from around the globe contributed major funding to
tsunami research and mitigation, enabling the installation of
hundreds of new high-precision instruments, the development of new
technology and the establishment of more modern communication
systems. As a result, incredible progress has been achieved in
tsunami research and operation during the ten years after the 2004
Indian Ocean tsunami.The papers presented in this second of two
special volumes of Pure and Applied Geophysics reflect the state of
tsunami science during this time, including two papers devoted to
global observations. Five papers provide new findings specifically
in the Indian Ocean. Eight papers cover Pacific Ocean studies,
focusing mainly on the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.
Remaining papers in the volume describe studies in the Atlantic and
Mediterranean and general tsunami source studies.The volume is of
interest to scientists and practitioners involved in all aspects of
tsunamis from earthquake source processes to transoceanic wave
propagation and coastal impacts. Postgraduate students in
geophysics, oceanography and coastal engineering - as well as
students in the broader geosciences, civil and environmental
engineering - will also find the book to be a valuable resource, as
it combines recent case studies with advances in tsunami science
and natural hazards mitigation.
