The 2011 Tohoku earthquake generated a tsunami that caused severe
damage including 20,000 casualties in Japan. The tsunami also
affected other Pacific coasts, including the Kuril Islands, the
USA, French Polynesia, the Galapagos Islands, Australia, and New
Zealand. This volume contains an introduction and 21papers, mostly
presented at the 25th International Tsunami Symposium held 1-4 July
2011, only four months after the tsunami. They report seismological
aspects of the event related to the tsunami warning, the tsunami
impacts and effects in Japan and around the Pacific, analyses of
instrumental tsunami data and modelling.
The 2010 tsunamis generated in Haiti, Chile, and Indonesia caused
various damage on the coasts. In the past, the 1755 Lisbon, 1964
Alaska, and 2003 Algeria earthquakes also generated damaging
tsunamis. This volume contains an introduction and 18 papers,
mostly presented at the 25th International Tsunami Symposium held
1-4 July 2011. They report the above tsunamis and discuss tsunami
DART observations, warning systems, risk management in the Pacific,
modelling of earthquake and landslide tsunamis, and probabilistic
tsunami hazard assessment.
