About the book
"This second edition of Tsunami: The Underrated Hazard has been comprehensively updated to include detailed descriptions of tsunami which have impacted on the world's coastlines over the past few years, in particular, the great tsunami that struck the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004. With a wealth of case studies and examples, the book describes the nature and process of tsunami formation, outlines field evidence for detecting the presence of past events, and describes notable events linked to earthquakes, volcanoes, submarine landslides, and comet impacts. It provides a clear approach to the study of tsunami, through dynamics, impact on coastlines, and overviews of the various major mechanisms of tsunami generation."--Jacket.
