Tsunami Science Four Years after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami Part I: Modelling and Hazard Assessment /

The tragedy of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami has led to a rapid expansion in science directed at understanding tsunami and mitigating their hazard. A remarkable cross-section of this research was presented in the session: Tsunami Generation and Hazard, at the International Union of Geodesy and Geoph...
