Earthquakes: Simulations, Sources and Tsunamis

Earthquakes: Simulations, Sources and Tsunamis edited by Kristy F. Tiampo, Dion K. Weatherley, Stuart A. Weinstein.

In recent years, large earthquakes in the circum-Pacific region have repeatedly demonstrated its particular vulnerability to this potentially devastating natural hazard, including the M ̃ 9.2 Northern Sumatra earthquake and tsunami of 2004 which resulted in the deaths of nearly 300,000 people. In th...
