Interdisciplinary Tsunami Science III

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 33803

Session Description:
Tsunamis are one of the most devastating natural disasters, with the potential for inflicting tremendous damage along wide stretches of coastal areas. Recent tsunami events have demonstrated that the risk from tsunami hazards has grown tremendously since the last ocean-wide tsunami of 1964, primarily due to the expansion of coastal development and the maritime communities. 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. This session provides a broad forum for cross-disciplinary studies and invites contributions from all areas of tsunami science including: fundamental and basic research; forecast and warning procedures for current and future events; investigation of geologic records and hindcasting of past events; response, mitigation, and recovery strategies; socio-economic impacts; and hazard and risk studies from tsunamis generated by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, meteorological phenomena, and meteorite impacts.
