Detailed analysis of tsunami waveforms generated by the 1946 Aleutian tsunami earthquake [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2001 The 1946 Aleutian earthquake was a typical tsunami earthquake which generated abnormally larger tsunami than expected from its seismic waves. Previously, Johnson and Satake (1997) estimated the fault model of this earthquake using the tsunami ...

Source Processes for the Probabilistic Assessment of Tsunami Hazards [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 The importance of tsunami hazard assessment has increased in recent years as a result of catastrophic consequences from events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Japan tsunamis.

Linear theory of wave generation by a moving bottom [PDF]
, 2006 The computation of long wave propagation through the ocean obviously depends on the initial condition. When the waves are generated by a moving bottom, a traditional approach consists in translating the ``frozen'' sea bed deformation to the free surface ...

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

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

A two-layer shallow flow model with two axes of integration, well-balanced discretization and application to submarine avalanches [PDF]
, 2020 We propose a two-layer model with two different axes of integration and a well-balanced finite volume method. The purpose is to study submarine avalanches and generated tsunamis by a depth-averaged model with different averaged directions for the fluid ...
