Near-coast tsunami waveguiding: phenomenon and simulations [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper we show that shallow, elongated parts in a sloping bottom toward the coast will act as a waveguide and lead to large enhanced wave amplification for tsunami waves.

Tsunami generation by paddle motion and its interaction with a beach: Lagrangian modelling and experiment [PDF]
, 2013 A 2D Lagrangian numerical wave model is presented and validated against a set of physical wave-flume experiments on interaction of tsunami waves with a sloping beach. An iterative methodology is proposed and applied for experimental generation of tsunami-

Education in a Changing Climate: A Systematic Review for Low and Middle‐Income Countries (LMICs)
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is a major global challenge that affects many aspects of human life and hinders progress on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One area that has not received enough attention is its impact on children's education in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), which are especially vulnerable to ...

The 25 October 2010 Mentawai tsunami earthquake (M_w 7.8) and the tsunami hazard presented by shallow megathrust ruptures [PDF]
, 2011 The 25 October 2010 Mentawai, Indonesia earthquake (M_w 7.8) ruptured the shallow portion of the subduction zone seaward of the Mentawai islands, off-shore of Sumatra, generating 3 to 9 m tsunami run-up along southwestern coasts of the Pagai Islands that

Dimension reduction for Gaussian process emulation: an application to the influence of bathymetry on tsunami heights [PDF]
, 2016 High accuracy complex computer models, or simulators, require large resources in time and memory to produce realistic results. Statistical emulators are computationally cheap approximations of such simulators.

BATHYMETRIC SOUNDING by REMOTE SENSING Using ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2016 We describe a novel modus operandi to survey the ocean floor. We utilize the eruption of submarine volcanoes as a light source. The electromagnetic radiation emitted by such eruptions illuminate the ocean floor and thus provides information about the ...

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),
