Following the first volume (PAGEOPH, 2019, 176, No. 7), twenty-four papers on tsunamis are included in the PAGEOPH topical issue "Twenty five years of modern tsunami science following the 1992 Nicaragua and Flores Island tsunamis: Volume II,'' reporting on the frontiers of tsunami science and research. The first two papers overview meteorological tsunamis, discussing progress since the 1992 Daytona event, and examining the March 2017 Persian Gulf destructive event. The next four papers review historical tsunami events, starting with a paper providing statistics for the last 120 years. The 2018 Kodiak event is investigated in the following two papers. A set of five papers discusses tsunami-warning methodologies specifically for the Australia and Nankai (Japan) regions, and general tsunami warning approaches. Probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment including case studies for two Australian coasts and the Pacific Coast of Central America, as well as discussion regarding the effect of shallow slip amplification uncertainty, and tsunami hazard assessment for the Port of Ensenada, Baja California, are presented in the next five papers. Two papers discuss tsunami tide interaction, and the following two investigate landslide-generated tsunamis, specifically a tsunami landslide scenario study for the Maltese Islands, and the 1694 Ambon, Indonesia tsunami. Tsunami hydrodynamics studies investigating shoaling on steep continental slopes and transmission of long surface, and tsunami-like waves are presented in the last two papers.

Introduction to "Twenty Five Years of Modern Tsunami Science Following the 1992 Nicaragua and Flores Island Tsunamis, Volume I"
Kanoğlu, Utku; Okal, Emile A.; Baptista, Aria Ana; Rabinovich, Alexander B. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-01)
Twenty-two papers on tsunamis are included in the Pure and Applied Geophysicstopical issue Twenty five years of modern tsunami science following the 1992 Nicaragua and Flores Island tsunamis: Volume I, reporting on the frontiers of tsunami science and research. The first three papers overview significant tsunamis of 1992-2018 and discuss the problems of tsunami cataloguing. The main focus of the next four papers is on specific details of historical tsunami events and field surveys. First, three papers are r...
Introduction to "Tsunamis in the World Ocean: Past, Present, and Future. Volume II"
Satake, Kenji; Rabinovich, Alexander; Kanoğlu, Utku; Tinti, Stefano (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-11-01)
Fifteen papers are included in Volume 2 of a PAGEOPH topical issue Tsunamis in the World Ocean: Past, Present, and Future. These papers are briefly introduced. They are grouped into three categories: reports and studies of recent tsunamis, studies on tsunami statistics and application to tsunami warning, and modeling studies of tsunami runup and inundation. Most of the papers were presented at the 24th International Tsunami Symposium held 14-16 July 2009 in Novosibirsk, Russia, and reflect the current state...
Engineering characteristics of the near-field strong motions from the 1999 Kocaeli and Duzce Earthquakes in Turkey
Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-07-01)
The purpose of this paper is to summarize the strong motion data from the nearest stations to the fault ruptures of the August 17, 1999 Kocaeli and November 12, 1999 Duzce earthquakes and to document information that will be significant for its interpretation. Significant engineering characteristics of the near-field strong motions are discussed, with particular emphasis on the site conditions, rupture directivity effects and transverse component orientations relative to the fault. In the course of this stu...
Seismic hazard assessment for Cyprus
Cagnan, Zehra; TANIRCAN, GÜLÜM (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-04-01)
In the present study, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment was conducted for Cyprus based on several new results: a new comprehensive earthquake catalog, seismic source models based on new research, and new attenuation relationships. Peak ground acceleration distributions obtained for a return period of 475 years for rock conditions indicate high hazard along the southern coastline of Cyprus, where the expected ground motion is between 0.3 and 0.4 g. The rest of the island is characterized by values repr...
Performance Comparison of NAMI DANCE and FLOW-3D((R)) Models in Tsunami Propagation, Inundation and Currents using NTHMP Benchmark Problems
Sogut, Deniz Velioglu; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-01)
Field observations provide valuable data regarding nearshore tsunami impact, yet only in inundation areas where tsunami waves have already flooded. Therefore, tsunami modeling is essential to understand tsunami behavior and prepare for tsunami inundation. It is necessary that all numerical models used in tsunami emergency planning be subject to benchmark tests for validation and verification. This study focuses on two numerical codes, NAMI DANCE and FLOW-3D((R)), for validation and performance comparison. N...
