9789533075525 - The Tsunami Threat: Research and Technology (13 Ergebnisse)

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Martina Sirotic - Cover Designer. Andrej Pol - Image Copyright. (illustrator). AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT. A generally clean and sound copy. Does have a black felt-tip-marker line to top edge and fore edge from about page 399 to 421. Also, does have underlining and highlighting to a couple or a few articles. Does have wear spots at extremities, along with a couple of bumped corners. Extensively illustrated in black and white with photographs, maps, diagrams, charts, tables, and formulae. While this book has a Croatian publisher, the printing was conducted in India. InTech did mention that (as of the time of publication) a free edition was available online. Having this hardbound copy, though, does offer the security of having all of the information, all of the time, irrespective of power failure or internet outage. Chapters in Brief: 1) The Asian Tsunami's Havoc and Death Toll; 2) The Need for a Tsunami Warning System; 3) Detection of Tsunamis from Changes in Ocean Surface Roughness; 4) Overtopping and Run-Up Hazards Induced by Solitary Waves and Bores; 5) Major Tsunami Risks from Splay Faulting; 6) Forecasting Landslide Generated Tsunamis; 7) Vulnerability of a City; 8) Resistance of Flexible Emergent Vegetation and Their Effects on the Forces and Runup due to Waves; 9) Effectiveness and Limitations of Vegetation Bioshield in Coast for Tsunami Disaster Mitigation; 10) The 2004 Tsunami in Aceh at Southern Thailand--Coastal Ecosystem Services, Damages, and Resilience; 11) Determination of Tsunami Inundation Model Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning Techniques; 12) Sedimentary Characteristics of the Holocene Tsunamigenic Deposits [Spain]; 13) Grain-Size & Thin Section Characteristics of Tsunami Sediments [Thailand]; 14) Study of Unusual Tsunami Deposits for Mitgation [Japan]; 15) Sand Sheets on a Beach-Ridge Plain - Identification & Dating [Thailand]; 16) The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami - Impact/Rehabilitation of Fisheries/Aquaculture [Thailand]; 17) Tide Gauge Observations of Indian Ocean Tsunami on 26 December 2004 at Rio de la Plata [Argentina]; 18) Traces of Tsunami Events [Maldives, Scotland, Sweden]; 19) Tsunami Deposit Research--Record Fidelity/Ephemeral Nature/Characteristics/Remobilization/Boulder Movements; 20) Atlantic Tsunami of 1 November 1755--World Range and Amplitude; 21) The 1889 Johnstown, Pennsylvania Flood--Physics-Based Simulation; 22) Land Cover Mapping [Thailand]; 23) Numerical Model for Multi-Layered Tsunami Waves; 24) Estimation of Tsunami Initial Displacement of Water; 25) Application of "All-Source Green's Function of Linear Shallow Water Dynamic System" to Tsunami Problems; 26) Multi-Sensor Research Program to Improve Tsunami Forecasting; 27) Algorithms for Automatic, Real-Time Tsunami Detection of Sea Level Measurements; 28) Airborne Geophysical Investigation of Groundwater Resources after the Tsunami of 2004 [Northern Sumatra, Indonesia]; 29) Using Hydro-Geochemical and Geo-Electrical Methods to Identify Impacts of Tsunami on Coastal Groundwater; 30) Generation and Propagation of Frequency-Dispersive Tsunami; 31) HF Skywave Radar Performance in Tsunami Detection and Measurement; 32) Atmospheric Gravity Waves and Effects in the Upper Atmosphere Associated with Tsunamis; and 33) Autopsy and Identification Techniques.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Submarine earthquakes, submarine slides and impacts may set large water volumes in motion characterized by very long wavelengths and a very high speed of lateral displacement, when reaching shallower water the wave breaks in over land - often with disastrous effects. This natural phenomenon is known as a tsunami event. By December 26, 2004, an event in the Indian Ocean, this word suddenly became known to the public. The effects were indeed disastrous and 227,898 people were killed. Tsunami events are a natural part of the Earth's geophysical system. There have been numerous events in the past and they will continue to be a threat to humanity; even more so today, when the coastal zone is occupied by so much more human activity and many more people. Therefore, tsunamis pose a very serious threat to humanity. The only way for us to face this threat is by increased knowledge so that we can meet future events by efficient warning systems and aid organizations. This book offers extensive and new information on tsunamis; their origin, history, effects, monitoring, hazards assessment and proposed handling with respect to precaution. Only through knowledge do we know how to behave in a wise manner. This book should be a well of tsunami knowledge for a long time, we hope. 730 pp. Englisch.
