Tsunami, post-tsunami malaria situation in Nancowry group of islands, Nicobar district, Andaman and Nicobar Islands
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Due to tsunami in 2004 a large proportion of population in Nicobar group of Islands become homeless, and in 2006 large scale labour migration took place to construct the houses. In 2008, a significant increase in malaria incidence was observed in this area. Therefore, in March 2008, the situation of malaria was assessed in Nancowry Islands in Nicobar District to study th...
متن کاملToxins Found in Ciguatqxic Fishes in the Ryukyu Islands
TOXINS FOUND IN CIGUATOXIC FISHES IN THE RYUKYU ISLANDS by Yoshiro HASHIMOTO * Evidence for multiplicity of toxin involved in ciguatera has been increasingly accumulated. At least four different toxins have been demonstrated in ciguatoxic fishes in the Ryukyu Islands. The fat-soluble toxin probably identical with ciguatoxin was found in the muscle of Lut/janus bohar and L. monostiqma. This toxi...
متن کاملHybrid Tsunami Modeling Infrastructure: Tsunami Source Data and Bathymetry Editor
The important part of the tsunami science is focused on studying the considerable influence of natural geographical objects, like islands and coast bathymetry, on the tsunami waves. Currently, such investigations are mostly implementing by physical modeling allowing obtaining good results on impacting submarine barriers on tsunami wave propagation but actually very expensive. We are designing a...
متن کاملSurges around the Hawaiian Islands from the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami
[1] The 2011 Tohoku tsunami devastated the northeastern Japan coasts and caused localized damage to coastal infrastructure across the Pacific. The tsunami resulted in strong currents around the Hawaiian Islands that led to closure of harbors and marinas for up to 38 h after its arrival. We utilize a nonhydrostatic model to reconstruct the tsunami event from the seismic source for elucidation of...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of tsunami waves generated by the flank collapse of the Cumbre Vieja Volcano (La Palma, Canary Islands): Tsunami source and near field effects
[1] In this work, we study waves generated by the potential collapse of the west flank of the Cumbre Vieja Volcano (CVV; La Palma, Canary Island, Spain) through numerical simulations performed in two stages: (i) the initial slide motion and resulting free surface elevation are first calculated using a 3D Navier-Stokes model; (ii) generated waves are then input into a 2D (horizontal) Boussinesq ...
