INUNDATION MAPPING – A HAZARD STUDY BASED ON THE DECEMBER 26, 2004 TSUNAMI ALONG THE KARAIKAL COAST OF INDIA [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2009 A study of tsunami impact was undertaken along India’s Karaikal coast from Poovam in Karaikal to Nagore, Nagapatinam. An integrated approach was adopted for the preparation of thematic maps on land use, land cover and coastal geomorphology using ...

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subaerial Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) and Subaqueous Eruption‐Fed Density Currents (SEFDCs) produced during volcanic eruptions can present major hazards to surrounding communities and ecosystems. The bedforms deposited by these volcanic density currents can provide insights into the nature of transport and depositional processes, which

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

On generation and propagation of tsunamis in a shallow running ocean
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1978 A theory is presented of the generation and propagation of the two and the three dimensional tsunamis in a shallow running ocean due to the action of an arbitrary ocean floor or ocean surface disturbance.

, 2010 A tsunami is a sea wave or series of waves produced by large disturbances of the sea floor that are of relatively short duration. Such disturbances cause the water column to move vertically and the resulting wave energy to spread outwards across the ocean surface at high speed.

Variational Autoencoder Transfer Functions for Onshore Tsunami Hazard Curves
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and ComputationTo quickly estimate tsunami hazards along the coastline, we present a data‐driven transfer function method to reconstruct onshore tsunami hazard curves from offshore hazard curves with corresponding topographic and bathymetric data. The transfer function

TSUNAMI HAZARD IN NORTHERN VENEZUELA [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006 Based on LANDSAT ETM and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data derived by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM, 2000) of the coastal areas of Northern Venezuela were investigated in order to detect traces of earlier tsunami events.
