Category : Tsunamis
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Synthesizes current knowledge on tsunamis. A brief nonmathematical description of tsunamis is given. The generation of tsunamis, their propagation, and coastal impact are dealt with throughout the world, and in laboratory experiments, and discussed in mathematical terms. Descriptions of tsunamis in various parts of the world are given, and tsunami protection measures and warning systems discussed, including ionospheric detection of tsunamis. Background information on seismology is included in microfiche.

Geological Records of Tsunamis and Other Extreme Waves
Author: Max Engel
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128156872
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 850
Book Description
Geological Records of Tsunamis and Other Extreme Waves provides a systematic compendium with concise chapters on the concept and history of paleotsunami research, sediment types and sediment sources, field methods, sedimentary and geomorphological characteristics, as well as dating and modeling approaches. By contrasting tsunami deposits with those of competing mechanisms in the coastal zone such as storm waves and surges, and by embedding this field of research into the wider context of tsunami science, the book is also relevant to readers interested in paleotempestology, coastal sedimentary environments, or sea-level changes, and coastal hazard management. The effectiveness of paleotsunami records in coastal hazard-mitigation strategies strongly depends on the appropriate selection of research approaches and methods that are tailored to the site-specific environment and age of the deposits. In addition to summarizing the state-of-the-art in tsunami sedimentology, Geological Records of Tsunamis and Other Extreme Waves guides researchers through establishing an appropriate research design and how to develop reliable records of prehistoric events using field-based and laboratory methods, as well as modeling techniques. - Features a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in tsunami sedimentology and paleotsunami research - Offers advice on the most appropriate mapping, sampling, and analytical approaches for a wide variety of coastal settings and sedimentary environments - Provides methodological details for field sampling and the most important proxy analyses

Seismicity Of The Earth And Associated Phenomena
Author: B. Gutenberg
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473384540
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
This book is intended to, firstly evaluate the present relative seismicity of various parts of the earth, and secondly to discuss the geography and the geological character of the zones and areas of seismic activity. This includes correlation with alignments of active volcanoes and gravity anomalies, and with oceanic deeps, mountain structures, and other topographic features. Mechanism is discussed, particularly with reference to the crust folding and block faulting.
