Abstract

A workshop reviewing the current research on long-wave run-up was held in the Marine Science Center of the University of Southern California at Catalina Island, California, in August 1990. The workshop covered theoretical, experimental, and field studies of run-up phenomena. The primary application of the research results discussed was in tsunami run-up and flooding and in tsunami run-up hazard mitigation. Certain other applications of long-wave run-up related to wind waves were also discussed. This report summarizes the twenty-six papers presented and it provides one particular view of the current understanding of this run-up process.
