Tsunamis in the world ocean v. II Past, present and future

The tsunami from the 1960 Chilean earthquake affected the entire Pacific Ocean and motivated the international coordination of tsunami research and warningsystems around the Pacific. However, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami affected the entire world, and reminded that tsunamis are not a local or regional problem but a global issue. This volume contains 15 papers, mostly presented at the 24th International Tsunami Symposium held on 14-16 July 2009 in Novosibirsk, Russia. They reflect the current state of tsunami science, including studies ofrecent tsunamis, tsunami statistics and warning, and modeling tsunami runup and inundation. Reflects the current state of tsunami science. Includes case studies as well as computational modeling of tsunami generation. Presents research on tsunami forecasting and hazard assessments.
