Physics and Modelling of Tsunamis

Tsunamis can be generated by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, underwater explosions, and asteroid impacts. Tsunami studies span the generation, propagation, runup, and inundation of tsunamis caused by various sources. The advancement of modeling and observing techniques offers new tools to understand tsunami physics. This special topic aims to provide numerical, analytical, and experimental insights into the physics of tsunamis and tsunami hydrodynamics fundamental research to improve tsunami early-warning systems and hazard assessments.
