The devastating impacts of tsunamis have received increased
focus since the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the most destructive
tsunami in over 400 years of recorded history. The tsunamis that
occurred as a result of the earthquake in Japan in March 2011
further emphasized the need for detection, monitoring, and
early-warning technologies. This professional reference is the
first of its kind: it provides a globally inclusive review of the
current state of tsunami detection technology and will be a
much-needed resource for oceanographers and marine engineers
working to upgrade and integrate their tsunami warning systems. It
focuses on the two main tsunami warning systems (TWS):
International and Regional. Featured are comparative assessments of
detection, monitoring, and real-time reporting technologies. The
challenges of detection through remote measuring stations are also
addressed, as well as the historical and scientific aspects of
tsunamis.
Offers readers the only source of practical content on the

and monitoring expert who has 32 years of experience in the
fieldCompanion web site featuring multi-media components, timely
updates on fast-paced technological developments, and an online
