内容简介

Drawing on information gathered from a study of the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26, 2004, this book explores the development of methodologies for predicting and preparing for tsunamis. The volume provides a state-of-the-art review of tsunami science and indicates thrust areas which have the potential to improve temporal and spatial resolution of tsunami prediction and warning systems. The knowledge base contained in the volume is relevant not only to the Indian Ocean countries, but globally. It will be useful to university students, professionals, and administrators concerned with seismology, ocean science, meteorology, disaster management, coastal management, and related areas.
