New Tsunami book “Tsunami Events and Lessons Learned – Environmental and Societal Significance”

Witold pointed me to a new book on tsunamis that was published by Springer. It’s called Tsunami Events and Lessons Learned – Environmental and Societal Significance and it is edited by Y.A. Kontar, V. Santiago-Fandiño and T. Takahashi. The book contains 25 papers on the following topics: 

• Tsunami modelling and numerical simulation
• Ecological impacts of tsunamis on coastal areas and reefs
• Tsunami deposits (fine grained and boulders)
• Erosion
• Cascading effects
• Early warning systems and evacuation issues

Unfortunately, only the introduction is free. The printed version is as much as 106.99 €.
