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 of tsunami science.

Introduction to "Twenty Five Years of Modern Tsunami Science Following the 1992 Nicaragua and Flores Island Tsunamis, Volume II" Kanoğlu, Utku; Okal, Emile A.; Baptista, Maria Ana; Rabinovich, Alexander B. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-01) 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 tsu...
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 I" Satake, Kenji; Rabinovich, Alexander; Kanoğlu, Utku; Tinti, Stefano (2011-06-01) Eighteen papers are included in Volume 1 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: case studies of earthquake-generated tsunamis; tsunami forecast and hazard assessments; and theoretical and computational modeling of tsunami generation, propagation, and coastal behavior. Most of the papers were presented at the 24th International Tsunami Symposium held 14-16 July 2009 in Novosibirsk, Russia,...
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...
