Nonlinear tsunami generation mechanism [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2001 The nonlinear mechanism of long gravitational surface water wave generation by high-frequency bottom oscillations in a water layer of constant depth is investigated analytically. The connection between the surface wave amplitude and the parameters of

Tsunami generation potential of a strike-slip fault tip in the westernmost Mediterranean. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Tsunamis are triggered by sudden seafloor displacements, and usually originate from seismic activity at faults. Nevertheless, strike-slip faults are usually disregarded as major triggers, as they are thought to be capable of generating only moderate ...

Post-eruptive flooding of Santorini caldera and implications for tsunami generation. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2016 Caldera-forming eruptions of island volcanoes generate tsunamis by the interaction of different eruptive phenomena with the sea. Such tsunamis are a major hazard, but forward models of their impacts are limited by poor understanding of source mechanisms.

Owen Ridge deep-water submarine landslides: implications for tsunami hazard along the Oman coast [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 The recent discovery of voluminous submarine landslides along the Owen Ridge may represent a source of tsunami hazard for the nearby Oman coast. We assess the severity of this potential hazard by performing numerical simulations of tsunami generation and

Tsunami generation by ocean floor rupture front propagation: Hamiltonian description [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2009 The Hamiltonian method is applied to the problem of tsunami generation caused by a propagating rupture front and deformation of the ocean floor. The method establishes an alternative framework for analyzing the tsunami generation process and produces ...

Nonlinear mechanism of tsunami wave generation by atmospheric disturbances [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2001 The problem of tsunami wave generation by variable meteo-conditions is discussed. The simplified linear and nonlinear shallow water models are derived, and their analytical solutions for a basin of constant depth are discussed.

Tsunami Detection Model for Sea Level Measurement Devices
Geosciences, 2022 Sea level measurements are of critical importance in the verification of tsunami generation. When a large earthquake occurs in a subduction zone and the Regional Tsunami Service Providers of UNESCO/IOC issue alerts, sea level measurements are used to ...

Tsunami hazard assessment in the southern Colombian Pacific basin and a proposal to regenerate a previous barrier island as protection [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 In this study, the tsunami hazard posed to 120 000 inhabitants of Tumaco (Colombia) is assessed, and an evaluation and analysis of regenerating the previous El Guano Island for tsunami protection is conducted.
