Tsunami Inundation Mapping for Alaska Communities
Alaska has the greatest tsunami potential in the entire United States. Historic tsunamis generated by earthquakes on the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone have resulted in widespread damage and loss of life along the Alaskan Pacific coast and other places located at exposed locations around the Pacific Ocean. Large seismic events occurring in the vicinity of the Alaska Peninsula, Aleutian Islands...
متن کاملTsunami inundation modeling for western Sumatra.
A long section of the Sunda megathrust south of the great tsunamigenic earthquakes of 2004 and 2005 is well advanced in its seismic cycle and a plausible candidate for rupture in the next few decades. Our computations of tsunami propagation and inundation yield model flow depths and inundations consistent with sparse historical accounts for the last great earthquakes there, in 1797 and 1833. Nu...
متن کاملA new numerical model for simulating the propagation of and inundation by tsunami waves A new numerical model for simulating the propagation of and inundation by tsunami waves
A new unstructured grid, finite volume ocean model is described, that is suitable for flooding and drying problems. Here we derive the finite volume analogue of the P 1 −P1 finite element, by interpreting the advective term in the continuity equation in a flux sense. A corresponding non-overlapping control volume is then selected for the momentum equation. The resulting model employs the median...
متن کاملTsunami insight to mangrove value
The recent tsunami in the Indian Ocean is the latest and most devastating natural disaster to highlight the value of mangrove forest and other natural defences in protecting vulnerable coastal communities.
متن کاملAgent-based Simulation of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Evacuation: An Integrated Model of Tsunami Inundation and Evacuation
The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake/Tsunami was a magnitude 9.0 Mw event that destroyed most structural tsunami countermeasures. However, approximately 90% of the estimated population at risk from the tsunami survived due to rapid evacuation to higher ground or inland. In this paper, we introduce an evacuation model integrated with a numerical simulation of a tsunami and a casualty estimation ...
