Tsunamis bridging science engineering and society Kanoğlu, Utku; Bernard, Eddıe; Synolakıs, Costas (null; 2015-06-22) There have been significant advances in tsunami science since the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. Yet, the 2011 Japan tsunami dramatically demonstrated that tsunamis continue to avoidably take lives and cause significant damage. Broadcasted live to a stunned world audience, the trail of destruction in 2011 in probably most tsunami ready nation underscores the difficulties of implementing practical advances in hazard mitigation. The Philosophical Transactions A theme issue entitled ‘Tsunamis: Bridging ...
Tsunami action on coasts and constructions GÜLER, HASAN GÖKHAN; ÇINAR, GİZEM EZGİ; SHARGHIVAND, NAEIMEH; ÖZER SÖZDİNLER, CEREN; DOĞAN, GÖZDE GÜNEY; NECMİOĞLU, ÖCAL; ZAYTSEV, ANDREY; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2017-07-01) Tsunamis are high-impact, long-lasting disasters, which in most cases allow for only a few minutes of warning before impact. The amount of energy behind huge tsunami waves can cause severe destruction when it hits land and consequently causes massive loss of human life. The impact of tsunami can be considered in social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The social impact can be seen in destruction of life and property, health crisis and disease. Tsunamis may cause massive environmentally impact by dev...
TSUNAMI ACTION ON COASTS AND CONSTRUCTIONS Zaytsev, Andrey; Klyachko, Ma; Kurkın, Andrey; Pelınovsky, Efım; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2018-05-23)
Tsunami focusing and leading wave height Kanoğlu, Utku (null; 2016-04-17) Field observations from tsunami events show that sometimes the maximum tsunami amplitude might not occur for the first wave, such as the maximum wave from the 2011 Japan tsunami reaching to Papeete, Tahiti as a fourth wave 72 min later after the first wave. This might mislead local authorities and give a wrong sense of security to the public. Recently, Okal and Synolakis (2016, Geophys. J. Int. 204, 719-735) discussed "the factors contributing to the sequencing of tsunami waves in the far field." They consi...
Tsunami risk assesment and positioning of a tsunami early warning system Yavuz, Cüneyt; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Aral, Mustafa M.; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Tsunamis are rarely experienced events; they have enormous potential to cause large economic destruction on the critical infrastructures and facilities, social devastation due to mass casualty, and environmental adverse effects like erosion, accumulation and inundation. Especially for the past two decades, nations have encountered devastating tsunami events. The aim of this study is to investigate economic, social and environmental risks along the coastline for Eastern Mediterranean due to tsunamis. Additio...
