  • Three Great Tsunamis: Lisbon (1755), Sumatra-Andaman (2004) and Japan (2011)

    by Vineet K. Gahalaut, Harsh K. Gupta ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Tsunamis are primarily caused by earthquakes. Under favourable geological conditions, when a large earthquake occurs below the sea bed and the resultant rupture causes a vertical displacement of the ocean bed, the entire column of water above it is displaced, causing a tsunami. In the ocean, tsunamis do not reach great heights but can travel at velocities of up to 1000 km/hour. As a tsunami ... Read more

  • Wind Generated Ocean Waves

    by I.R. Young ...
    Series Book 2 - Elsevier Ocean Engineering Series
    The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind wave field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural (beaches, the atmosphere etc.) or imposed by human endeavour (ports, harbours, coastal settlements etc.). Although the goals are similar, the specific requirements of these various fields differ considerably.This book attempts ... Read more

  • Darwin, Geodynamics and Extreme Waves

    by Sh. U. Galiev ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book examines the reasons behind the resonant amplification of seismic and ocean waves that have the capacity to destroy cities and ocean-going vessels. Using Charles Darwin’s important geophysical research as a starting point, it provides insights into the interaction between earthquakes with volcanoes, seaquake, and tsunami formation.In particular, the author details the observations that ...
