The book is organized into two parts: the first part covers (i) the
precious lessons obtained from recent actual tsunami disasters
including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and 2011 Great East Japan
Earthquake Disaster, (ii) fundamental knowledge of tsunami for our
survival, and (iii) concludes the lessons learnt and listing
measures for tsunami disaster mitigation for saving human lives.
The second part presents tsunami from academic perspective in two
chapters: one describes tsunami occurrence mechanism and near-shore
behavior; the other mentions numerical simulation and forecasting
of tsunami.

This collection of peer-reviewed workshop papers provides
comprehensive coverage of cutting-edge research into topological
approaches to data analysis and visualization. It encompasses the
full range of new algorithms and insights, including fast homology
computation, comparative analysis of simplification techniques, and
key applications in materials and medical science. The book also
addresses core research challenges such as the representation of
large and complex datasets, and integrating numerical methods with
robust combinatorial algorithms. In keeping with the focus of the
TopoInVis 2017 Workshop, the contributions reflect the latest
advances in finding experimental solutions to open problems in the
sector. They provide an essential snapshot of state-of-the-art
research, helping researchers to keep abreast of the latest
developments and providing a basis for future work. Gathering
papers by some of the world's leading experts on topological
techniques, the book represents a valuable contribution to a field
of growing importance, with applications in disciplines ranging
from engineering to medicine.

Sponsored by the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of
ASCE; Port and Airport Research Institute of Japan. On March 11,
2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake rumbled off the east coast of
Japan, followed by a tsunami that generated waves more than 18
meters high. The earthquake and tsunami caused devastation
throughout the Tohoku and Sendai regions of Japan, killing nearly
16,000 people and causing damage estimated at more than US$126
billion. For seven days in May 2011, an ASCE/COPRI Coastal
Structures Team investigated the earthquake and tsunami effects
specific to engineered coastal structures, coastal landforms, and
coastal processes in northeast Japan. Joined by colleagues from
Japan's Port and Airport Research Institute, the survey team
observed five categories of coastal protection structures: coastal
dikes, tsunami seawalls, floodwater gates, breakwaters, and
vegetated greenbelts. This report provides background to the field
investigation, including an event summary, the tectonic and
geologic setting, and the generation, propagation, and runup of the
tsunami. It then describes 11 mechanisms causing damage or failure
and includes photographs illustrating the effects each mechanism.
Finally, the report presents lessons learned regarding what worked
and what didn't and how this knowledge can be used to engineer
against future natural disasters. For coastal engineers, structural
engineers, geotechnical engineers, and disaster risk managers, the
observations and analysis in this report provide critical
information for engineering infrastructure that withstands major
earthquake and tsunami events.
