Sedimentological effects of tsunamis, with particular reference to impact-generated and volcanogenic waves [PDF]

Impulse-generated waves (tsunamis) may be produced, at varying scales and global recurrence intervals (RI), by several processes. Meteorite-water impacts will produce tsunamis, and asteroid-scale impacts with associated mega-tsunamis may occur.

Education in a Changing Climate: A Systematic Review for Low and Middle‐Income Countries (LMICs)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major global challenge that affects many aspects of human life and hinders progress on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One area that has not received enough attention is its impact on children's education in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), which are especially vulnerable to ...

MOMENTUM AS A USEFUL TSUNAMI DESCRIPTOR [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
In looking at the videos of the Indonesian tsunami coming ashore at various locations, I thought, “That’s a lot of water with a lot of momentum, and that’s what does the damage.”Perhaps the momentum of a tsunami might be a physical quantity to focus on ...

Seismological Aspects of the December 2004 Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake [PDF]

, 2006
The 2004 Great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake had an average source duration of about 500 sec. and a rupture length of 1,200–1,300 km. The seismic moment, M0, determined with a finite source model, was 6.5×1022 N-m, which corresponds to Mw=9.18.

Tuning the Photochemistry of Entatic State Model Systems

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
We present the photochemistry of the entatic state model [Cu(DMEGqu)2]+/2+, a copper guanidino‐quinoline complex pair. By transient IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, we obtained the lifetimes of the different excited states. We show that the structural effect of the guanidine tunes the photochemistry of this entatic state model.

Estimating Secondary Earthquake Aftershocks from Tsunamis

Geosciences
Nonlinear solitary waves influence the Earth’s crust because wave pressure on the ocean bottom contains non-hydrostatic components. Our physical-mathematical model allows us to calculate the surplus super-hydrostatic pressure on the Earth’s crust.

TREND OF MICROMETEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS DURING TSUNAMI ON THE EAST COAST OF INDIA [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2005
Tsunami, a large, breaking wave is generated by displacement of seafloor occurring during earthquakes. The Sumatra earthquake of December 26,2004 at 6:28:51 IST generated the deadliest Indian Ocean tsunami causing severe damage along the coast of Indian ...

The GeoClaw software for depth-averaged flows with adaptive refinement

, 2011
Many geophysical flow or wave propagation problems can be modeled with two-dimensional depth-averaged equations, of which the shallow water equations are the simplest example.

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

A Numerical Modelling Study on the Potential Role of Tsunamis in the Biblical Exodus

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
The reliability of the narrative of the Biblical Exodus has been subject of heated debate for decades. Recent archaeological studies seem to provide new insight of the exodus path, and although with a still controversial chronology, the effects of the ...
