Session ID#: 14882

Session Description:
Tsunamis are one of the most devastating natural disasters, inflicting tremendous damage along wide stretches of coastal areas. Tsunami events of the first decade of the XXI century have demonstrated that tsunami risk has grown tremendously since the last ocean-wide tsunami of 1964. The risk continues to increase with the unrelenting expansion of coastal development. Tsunami science has become one of the most inter-disciplinary research areas. Social science, applied mathematics, engineering, and geology are as important to tsunami research as traditional seismology and oceanography.  The proposed session provides a broad forum for cross-disciplinary studies and invites contributions from all areas of tsunami science including: fundamental and basic research, forecast of and warning procedures for current and future events, investigation of the geologic record and hindcasting of past events, response and mitigation strategies, socio-economic impacts, and hazard and risk studies from tsunamis generated by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts.
