描述 | This volume, derived from the 1999 International TsunamiSymposium, presents a unique look at the state of tsunami research atthe end of the 20th century. It displays recent progress both in datarecovery and reconstructions of historical tsunamis and in detailexamination of recent disasters. It shows the tsunami community usingboth traditional methods of data gathering - searching archives andattempting to simulate past events - and integrating moderntechnologies - side-scan sonar, GPS, global communications,supercomputers - in the quest to understand tsunamis and improvemankind‘s ability to mitigate the disastrous consequences of theseunpredictable and unstoppable events. It chronicles recent advances inmitigation efforts while illuminating the continuing need forincreased efforts. The papers range from descriptive texts for thenon-specialists to fairly technical discussions for those familiarwith tsunami research. ..Audience:. This book will be of interest to researchers andgraduate students involved in natural hazards research, physicaloceanography, seismology, environmental impact assessment and riskassessment. |
