Numerical Simulation of the December 26, 2004: Indian Ocean Tsunami
The December 26, 2004 tsunami is one of the most devastating tsunami in recorded history. It was generated in the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia at 0:58:53 (GMT) by one of the largest earthquake of the century with a moment magnitude of Mw = 9.3. In the study, we focus on a best-fitted tsunami source for tsunami modeling based on geophysical and seismological ...
متن کاملMotive and Conflict in the Disaster Recovery Process of Housing Reconstruction in Sri Lanka after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami
Normative solutions for the successful recovery from large-scale disasters have been presented by various research, but implementation requires a long process, and a mechanism for the process to continue is necessary. We consider the consistency among strategies of stakeholders such as government and NGOs. These players make decisions based on not only direct motives but various complex motives...

متن کاملAn integrated social response to disasters: the case of the Indian Ocean tsunami in Sri Lanka
Purpose – The impact of disasters caused by natural hazards on people in affected communities is mediated by a whole range of circumstances such as the intensity of the disaster, type and nature of the community affected and the nature of loss and displacement. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the need to adopt a holistic or integrated approach to assessment of the process of disaste...
متن کاملModeling the 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami: Case study of impact in Thailand
[1] The devastating 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami stressed the need for assessing tsunami hazard in vulnerable coastal areas. Numerical modeling is but one important tool for understanding past tsunami events and simulating future ones. Here we present a robust simulation of the event, which explains the large runups and destruction observed in coastal Thailand and identifies areas vuln...
