Freshwater (paleo)tsunamis – a review [PDF]
, 2021 In freshwater systems (rivers and lakes), historical and recent tsunamis have been documented and their traces have been found in the geological record, but studies of paleotsunamis (prehistorical tsunamis) in such environ- ments are still ...

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Tsunami hazard scenarios in the Adriatic Sea domain [PDF]
, 2007 The tsunami phenomenon is mainly detected in oceanic domains but it can also occur in small basins as the Adriatic Sea. The presence of great waves has been recorded a few times in the past centuries on the Adriatic shorelines, therefore this suggests ...

Modeling Maximum Tsunami Heights Using Bayesian Neural Networks
Atmosphere, 2020 Tsunamis are distinguished from ordinary waves and currents owing to their characteristic longer wavelengths. Although the occurrence frequency of tsunamis is low, it can contribute to the loss of a large number of human lives as well as property damage.

On the Modelling of Tsunami Generation and Tsunami Inundation
Procedia IUTAM, 2014 While the propagation of tsunamis is well understood and well simulated by numerical models, there are still a number of unanswered questions related to the generation of tsunamis or the subsequent inundation. We review some of the basic generation mechanisms as well as their simulation.

Invasive Fungal Infections after Natural Disasters
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 The link between natural disasters and subsequent fungal infections in disaster-affected persons has been increasingly recognized. Fungal respiratory conditions associated with disasters include coccidioidomycosis, and fungi are among several organisms ...

Numerical Investigation of Wave Generation Characteristics of Bottom-Tilting Flume Wavemaker
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Motivated by the recently developed bottom-tilting wavemaker specially designed for tsunami research, we propose to investigate numerically the wave generation mechanism of this new wave generator. A series of numerical experiments is carried out using a

Sedimentological signatures of lacustrine tsunamis [PDF]
, 2021 Lake tsunamis are a natural hazard with high magnitudes and low recurrence rates. Because of their infrequent occurrence in space and time, little is known about the associated hazard and the risk to the vulnerable coastal areas that are often heavily ...

2004 INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI ON THE MALDIVES ISLANDS: INITIAL OBSERVATIONS [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2005 Post-tsunami field surveys of the Maldives Islands where carried out to document the effects of the tsunami inundation. The study area was situated in the islands of South Male Atoll that were some of the most heavily damaged islands of the Maldive ...
