Introduction to Global Tsunami Science: Past and Future, Volume I

  • Introduction

Part of the book series: Pageoph Topical Volumes ((PTV))

Abstract

Twenty-five papers on the study of tsunamis are included in Volume I of the PAGEOPH topical issue ‘‘Global Tsunami Science: Past and Future’’. Six papers examine various aspects of tsunami probability and uncertainty analysis related to hazard assessment. Three papers relate to deterministic hazard and risk assessment. Five more papers present new methods for tsunami warning and detection. Six papers describe new methods for modeling tsunami hydrodynamics. Two papers investigate tsunamis generated by non-seismic sources: landslides and meteorological disturbances. The final three papers describe important case studies of recent and historical events. Collectively, this volume highlights contemporary trends in global tsunami research, both fundamental and applied toward hazard assessment and mitigation.
