Summary

This book presents intensely interdisciplinary, comprehensive modern investigations, with contributions ranging from basic and applied science to coastal zone management. The work is indispensable for tsunami scientists, coastal and ocean engineers, marine geologists and geophysicists, planners and policy makers, and coastal zone managers seeking to better understand and mitigate the coastal impact of tsunamis.
