Earthquake-tsunamis, including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, with approximately 227,898 casualties, and the 2011 Tōhoku Tsunami in Japan, with 18,550 people missing or dead [...]

Highlights

  • This book includes nine excellent contributions [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11] to this special issue published between 2018 and 2019

  • The following two articles from Tan et al [4] and Tessema et al [5] involve the entire process of subaerial landslide-tsunami generation, propagation and runup

  • Most numerical and physical model studies into landslide-tsunamis released the slide in the longitudinal direction of the flume or basin, which does not well represent slide impacts in narrow reservoirs in lateral direction. This shortage motivated Tessema et al [5] to investigate landslides impacting a reservoir in lateral direction in a 1:190 laboratory scale model for a typical dam of ≈60 m in height

Summary

Introduction

This book includes nine excellent contributions [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11] to this special issue published between 2018 and 2019. The order of the nine articles [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11] in this book follows the three tsunami phases: generation, propagation and their effects. The first article from Perez del Postigo et al [3] focuses on tsunami generation and propagation.
