A cascading risk model for the failure of the concrete spillway of the Toddbrook dam, England during the August 2019 flooding

Dam break is considered as a major catastrophe with significant negative economic, social, and environmental consequences, and thus must be prevented at any cost. Here, we report and analyze a near-miss dam break incident in...

A new predictive equation for estimating wave period of subaerial solid-block landslide-generated waves
In the aftermath of the deadly 2018 Anak Krakatau tsunami (Indonesia) and associated confusions over its modeling and generation mechanism, there has been an urgent need for further studies to improve our understanding of...
Extratropical cyclone damage to the seawall in Dawlish, UK

The February 2014 extratropical cyclonic storm chain, which impacted the English Channel (UK) and Dawlish in particular, caused significant damage to the main railway connecting the south-west region to the rest of the UK....

A New Tsunami Hazard Assessment for Eastern Makran Subduction Zone by Considering Splay Faults and Applying Stochastic Modeling

Tsunami hazard imposed by possible rupture of splay faults is important as it may significantly intensify tsunami heights locally. The Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) in the northwestern Indian Ocean can generate large thrust...

Excitation of Basin-Wide Modes of the Pacific Ocean Following the March 2011 Tohoku Tsunami
This study is an attempt towards understanding the sources of long oscillations observed within the Pacific Ocean following the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake. We present evidence that extremely long modes of the Pacific Ocean...
Numerical simulations of water waves generated by subaerial granular and solid-block landslides
We compare waves generated by subaerial solid-block and granular landslides and propose equations for predicting their maximum initial wave amplitudes. The recent Anak Krakatau subaerial landslide tsunami in December 2018, which...

A new dual earthquake and submarine landslide source model for the 28 September 2018 Palu (Sulawesi), Indonesia tsunami

The September 2018 Palu (Sulawesi, Indonesia) tsunami has been a heavily debated event because multiple source models of three different types have been proposed for this tsunami: (i) The M w 7.5 earthquake, (ii)...

Multi-level emulation of tsunami simulations over Cilacap, South Java, Indonesia

Carrying out a Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) requires a large number of simulations done at a high resolution. Statistical emulation builds a surrogate to replace the simulator and thus reduces computational...

Characteristics of two tsunamis generated by successive Mwg 7.4 and Mwg 8.1 earthquakes in the Kermadec Islands on 4 March 2021

On 4 March 2021, two tsunamigenic earthquakes (Mwg 7.4 and Mwg 8.1) occurred successively within 2g h in the Kermadec Islands, offshore New Zealand. We examined sea level records at tide gauges located at g 1/4100 to g...

NATIONWIDE POST EVENT SURVEY AND ANALYSIS OF THE 2011 TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE TSUNAMI
At 14:46 local time on March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of northeast Japan. This earthquake generated a tsunami that struck Japan as well as various locations around the Pacific Ocean. With the...

Field surveys of September 2018 landslide-generated waves in the Apporo dam reservoir, Japan

Potential landslide origin of the Seram Island tsunami in Eastern Indonesia on 16 June 2021 following an Mw 5.9 earthquake.
A 51 cm tsunami amplitude was observed in Tehoru, Seram Island (Indonesia), following an Mw 5.9 earthquake. Such a relatively large tsunami is highly unexpected from this size earthquake. Our analyses showed that the tsunami was...
