Socotra Island, Yemen: field survey of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami

The tsunami of 26th December 2004 severely affected Yemen’s Socotra Island with a death at a distance of 4,600 km from the epicenter of the Magnitude 9.0 earthquake. Yemen allowed a detailed assessment of the far-field impact of a tsunami in the main propagation direction. The UNESCO mission surveyed 12 impacted towns on the north and south shores covering from the east to the west tip of Socot...

Field Survey and Numerical Simulations: A Review of the 1998 Papua New Guinea Tsunami

The Papua New Guinea (PNG) tsunami of 1998 is re-examined through a detailed review of the field survey as well as numerous numerical computations. The discussion of the field survey explores a number of possible misinterpretations of the recorded data. The survey data are then employed by a numerical model as a validation tool. A Boussinesq model and a nonlinear shallow water wave (NLSW) model...

Seismology Field survey and modelling of the Caspian Sea tsunami of 1990 June 20

S U M M A R Y The Rudbar-Tarom earthquake of 1990 June 20 (M0 = 1.4 × 1027 dyn cm), the largest one in Iran over the past 35 yr, was accompanied by a small tsunami in the Caspian Sea, which produced run-ups of up to 2 m, and inundations of 1 km, reaffirming the existence of tsunami hazard along the Caspian shoreline, as suggested by historical reports. We present the results of a field survey, ...

Hematological profile change in radiation field workers

Objectives: This study focuses on the hematological parameters change and age in radiation field workers. The study aimed to identify the effect of radiation on hematological parameters and their relation to age and duration of the experience in radiation field workers. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Physiology research center in collaboration with thalassemia and hemogl...
