Tsunami inundation, sediment transport, and deposition process of tsunami deposits on coastal lowland inferred from the Tsunami Sand Transport Laboratory Experiment (TSTLE)

Marine Geology, 2018
The processes of tsunami inundation, sediment transport, and deposition on coastal lowlands are investigated experimentally. We conducted large-scale experiments with land slopes of 0.00 and 0.01 and compared them with experiments conducted previously ...

Estimation of Tsunami Hazard and Evacuation Sites using The Cornell Multigrid Couple Tsunami Method in South Button Regency

Indonesian Journal of Applied Physics
The 1992 earthquake and tsunami in the Flores Sea proved that the tsunami impacted the people of the South Buton Region. This research aims to map tsunami hazards and estimate evacuation routes and sites in the South Buton Regency.

An experimentally validated approach for evaluating tsunami inundation forces on rectangular buildings

, 2017
This paper presents an experimentally validated, closed-form set of equations for predicting forces on rectangular buildings impinged by nominally unsteady tsunami inundation flows.

A comparison of a two-dimensional depth-averaged flow model and a three-dimensional RANS model for predicting tsunami inundation and fluid forces

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
. The numerical modeling of tsunami inundation that incorporates the built environment of coastal communities is challenging for both 2-D and 3-D depth-integrated models, not only in modeling the flow but also in predicting forces on coastal structures ...

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

KAJIAN DAERAH RENDAMAN TSUNAMI DI PESISIR TELUK LAMPUNG AKIBAT PERUBAHAN TOPOGRAFI GUNUNG ANAK KRAKATAU DI TAHUN 2018

JGE, 2020
The eruption of the Anak Krakatoa volcano (GAK) in December 2018 caused part of the body of GAK to collapse into the sea and caused a tsunami. This avalanche also caused changes in the topography of GAK.

Reconstruction of the 2004 Tsunami Inundation Map in Banda Aceh Through Numerical Model and Its Validation with Post-Tsunami Survey Data

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2019
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded the 2004 tsunami heights in the Indian Ocean using the DART buoy tool and survey field data in the land side of Banda Aceh. Furthermore, 85 tsunami poles around Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar

Depositional processes of varved sediments from proglacial Lago Frías since 1800 CE (North Patagonian Andes, Argentina)

Boreas, EarlyView.
The glacierized Valle Frías in Northern Patagonia is one of the best‐studied valleys in South America and includes varved sediments from Lago Frías. We complement this lacustrine record with a high‐resolution documentation of varve counts and their composition.

From regional to local SPTHA: efficient computation of probabilistic tsunami inundation maps addressing near-field sources

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
. Site-specific seismic probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (SPTHA) is a computationally demanding task, as it requires, in principle, a huge number of high-resolution numerical simulations for producing probabilistic inundation maps. We implemented an
