Introduction to the Special Issue on the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman Earthquake and the Indian Ocean Tsunami
The great Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 (UTC 00:58:53) was a momentous event, whether measured by scientific or human standards. Sadly, what is currently regarded as the third largest earthquake in recorded history led to the worst tsunami disaster in recorded history, with the loss of more than 200,000 lives and devastation throughout the Bay of Bengal. About three months late...
متن کاملTsunami Generation by Submarine Mass Failure
Numerical experiments are conducted for two-dimensional model problems of tsunami generation by underwater slides and slumps. These problems consist of a semi-ellipse, translating down an incline with a prescribed center of mass motion. For each problem, this motion is derived as a function of geometric and material parameters, and we calculate corresponding characteristic tsunami amplitudes. L...
متن کاملAdvances in earthquake and tsunami sciences and disaster risk reduction since the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami
The December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was the worst tsunami disaster in the world’s history with more than 200,000 casualties. This disaster was attributed to giant size (magnitude M ~ 9, source length >1000 km) of the earthquake, lacks of expectation of such an earthquake, tsunami warning system, knowledge and preparedness for tsunamis in the Indian Ocean countries. In the last ten years, sei...
متن کاملDissolved Zn and its speciation in the northeastern Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea
Total dissolved Zn and Zn speciation were investigated by cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV) in the northeastern Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea. Vertical distributions of total dissolved Zn concentration (CZn) in the northeastern Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea reflect that the deep water from the Andaman Sea was rapidly replaced by incoming waters from the northeastern Indian Ocean across...
متن کاملSnails and trematode infection after Indian Ocean tsunami in Phang-Nga Province, southern Thailand.
The tsunami and non-tsunami affected areas of Takua Pa District, Phang-Nga Province were investigated for fresh- and brackish-water snails that transmit human parasitic diseases during 2006 and 2007. Among 46 snail species found, 17 species of 8 families were freshwater snails, 28 species of another 7 families were brackish-water snails, and 1 species was a land snail. Of these species, 11 fres...
