Scenario-based numerical modelling and the palaeo-historic record of tsunamis in Wallis and Futuna, Southwest Pacific [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2015 We investigated the tsunami hazard in the remote French territory of Wallis and Futuna, Southwest Pacific, using the Gerris flow solver to produce numerical models of tsunami generation, propagation and inundation.

Tsunami inundation maps of Sitka, Alaska [PDF]
, 2013 The purpose of this study is to evaluate potential tsunami hazards for the community of Sitka. We numerically modeled the extent of inundation from tsunami waves generated by near- and far-field tectonic sources. We performed numerical modeling of historic events at Sitka, such as the tsunami triggered by the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake, and the ...

A well-balanced meshless tsunami propagation and inundation model
, 2017 We present a novel meshless tsunami propagation and inundation model. We discretize the nonlinear shallow-water equations using a well-balanced scheme relying on radial basis function based finite differences.

Tsunami inundation maps for Yakutat, Alaska [PDF]
, 2016 In this report we evaluate potential tsunami hazards for the southeastern Alaska community of Yakutat and numerically model the extent of inundation from tsunami waves generated by tectonic and landslide sources. We use numerical modeling of historical tsunami events at Yakutat, such as the tsunami triggered by the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake, and the

Tsunami impact and vulnerability in the harbour area of Tangier, Morocco
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2015 In this study, we assess tsunami impact and building vulnerability in the harbour area of Tangier – Morocco. Tsunami impact is evaluated through performing high-resolution inundation modelling.

Overtopping of Coastal Structures by Tsunami Waves
Geosciences, 2017 Following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japanese tsunami protection guidelines stipulate that coastal defences should ensure that settlements are shielded from the coastal inundation that would result from Level 1 tsunami events (with return ...

The Java tsunami model: Using highly-resolved data to model the past event and to estimate the future hazard [PDF]
, 2010 This study is to validate the tsunami model with extensive field observation data gathered from the 2006 Java tsunami. In the relevant study area, where highly-resolved geometric data were recently made available and other related posttsunami field data ...
