  • Submarine Landslides and Tsunamis

    Edited by Ahmet C. Yalçiner, Costas E. Synolakis, Emile Okal, Efim N. Pelinovsky ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Tsunamis are water waves triggered by impulsive geologic events such as sea floor deformation, landslides, slumps, subsidence, volcanic eruptions and bolide impacts. Tsunamis can inflict significant damage and casualties both nearfield and after evolving over long propagation distances and impacting distant coastlines. Tsunamis can also effect geomorphologic changes along the coast. Understanding ... Read more

    Edited by Jacques C.J. Nihoul, Peter O. Zavialov, Philip P. Micklin ...
    Series Book 36 - NATO Science Series: IV
    There are incentive indications that the growth of human population, the increasing use and abuse of natural resources combined with climate changes (probably due to anthropic pollution, to some extent) exert a considerable stress on closed (or semi-enclosed) seas and lakes. In many regions of the world, marine and lacustrine hydrosystems are (or have been) the object of severe or fatal ... Read more
