This book presents the frontiers of tsunami science and research
and demonstrates the unprecedented progress achieved during this
period overviewing different aspect of tsunami science including
meteorological tsunamis. The two 1992 events near Nicaragua and
Flores Island, Indonesia, marked the beginning of a "modern tsunami
science era" producing highly destructive tsunamis and opened a
25-year period of numerous devastating events, including two of the
most destructive natural disasters in recent human history: the 26
December 2004 Sumatra and the 11 March 2011 Tohoku tsunamis. The
book is of interest to scientists and practitioners as well
postgraduate students in geophysics, oceanography and coastal
engineering, involved in all aspects of tsunamis, from earthquake
source processes to transoceanic wave propagation, from coastal
impacts to hazard assessment and combining recent case studies with
advances in tsunami science and natural hazards mitigation.
