MANGROVE FOREST AGAINST DYKE-BREAK-INDUCED TSUNAMI ON RAPIDLY SUBSIDING COASTS (2016)
<p>Thin coastal dykes typically found in developing countries may suddenly collapse due to rapid land subsidence, material ageing, sea-level rise, high wave attack, earthquakes, landslides, or a collision with vessels. Such a failure could trigger dam-break ...

ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE HORIZONTAL SEA-BED DISPLACEMENTS INTO THE TSUNAMI GENERATION PROCESS (2012)
The main reason for the generation of tsunamis is the deformation of the bottom of the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake. Usually, only the vertical bottommotion is taken into account while the horizontal co-seismic displacements are neglected in the ...

THE 1956 EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN AMORGOS, GREECE (2009)
<p>We conduct a comprehensive study of the Amorgos, Greece earthquake and tsunami of 1956 July 09, the largest such event in the Aegean Sea in the 20th century. Systematic relocation of the main shock and 34 associated events defines a rupture area measuring ...

26TH DECEMBER 2004 GREAT SUMATRA-ANDAMAN EARTHQUAKE: CO-SEISMIC AND POST-SEISMIC MOTIONS IN NORTHERN SUMATRA (2007)
To understand the reason why the co-seismic slip and tsunami amplitudes were so high in this region, was performed the "Sumatra Aftershocks" cruise (R/V Marion Dufresne, Jakarta, July 15 - Colombo, August 9, 2005) in order to establish the geodynamical context ...

DEFINING THE SOURCE REGION OF THE INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI FROM GPS, ALTIMETERS, TIDE GAUGES AND TSUNAMI MODELS (2007)
To understand the role of the co-seismic moment magnitude, Mw, 9.1–9.3 Sumatra–Andaman Earthquake rupture mechanism on the severity of the Indian Ocean Tsunami, we used permanent Global Positioning System (GPS) data and carried out an analysis of co-seismic ...

IMPLICATIONS OF THE 26 DECEMBER 2004 SUMATRA-ANDAMAN EARTHQUAKE ON TSUNAMI FORECAST AND ASSESSMENT MODELS FOR GREAT SUBDUCTION-ZONE EARTHQUAKES (2007)
<p>The primary objective of this study is to examine tsunami generation from the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake at different levels of parameterization for the purpose of forecasting and assessing future tsunamis.</p>

LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVES ON GIANT EARTHQUAKES AND TSUNAMIS AT SUBDUCTION ZONES (2007)
This review starts with the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and the associated Indian Ocean tsunami, then proceeds to offer long-term perspectives from earthquakes and tsunamis recorded geologically on the Pacic Rim. Histories of earthquakes and tsunamis, ...

RUPTURE PROCESS OF THE 2004 GREAT SUMATRA-ANDAMAN EARTHQUAKE ESTIMATED FROM TSUNAMI WAVEFORMS (2006)
In this study rupture process of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake is estimated using tsunami waveforms observed at tide gauges and the coseismic vertical deformation observed along the coast.

THE INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI: ECONOMIC IMPACT, DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND LESSONS (2005)
The purpose of this paper is to document and analyze the immediate economic impact of the Indian Ocean tsunami generated by the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 and the disaster management process in the immediate aftermath of the disaster ...
