The 17 July 2006 magnitude M w 7.8 earthquake off the south coast of western Java, Indonesia, generated a tsunami that effected over 300 km coastline and killed more than 600 people, with locally focused runup heights exceeding 20 m. This slow was hardly felt on wind waves breaking masked any preceding withdrawal water from shoreline, making this difficult to detect before impact. An International Tsunami Survey Team deployed within one week investigation covered coastline. Measured run‐up...
We conduct a comprehensive study of the Amorgos, Greece earthquake and tsunami 1956 July 09, largest such event in Aegean Sea 20th century. Systematic relocation main shock 34 associated events defines rupture area measuring 75 × 40 km. The use Preliminary Determination Focal Mechanism algorithm resolves longstanding controversy about focal geometry event, yielding normal faulting mechanism along plane dipping to southeast, which expresses extensional tectonics back arc behind Hellenic...
We have developed a method to compute the total energy transmitted by tsunami waves, case where earthquake source is unknown, using deep‐ocean pressure measurements and numerical models (tsunami functions). Based on first wave recorded at two closest tsunameters (Deep‐Ocean Assessment Reporting of Tsunamis (DART)), our analysis suggests that March 11, 2011 Tohoku‐Oki generated off Japan originated from 300–400 km long 100 wide area, propagated 3 × 10 15 J (with 6% uncertainty). Measurements...
We model tsunami inundation and runup heights in Crescent City, California triggered by possible earthquakes on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The CSZ is believed capable of producing great with magnitudes M w ≈ 9.0 or greater. simulate plausible rupture scenarios calculate using MOST. benchmark our projections against mapped flooded areas tide gauge data from 1964 tsunami, which destroyed 29 city blocks, also damaging 15 November 2006 Kuril Islands tsunami. Results suggest that...

On Wednesday, 15 November 2006, Crescent City Harbor, in Del Norte County, Calif., was hit by surges resulting from the tsunami generated M w = 8.3 Kuril Islands earthquake. The strong currents caused an estimated US $700,000 to $1 million losses small boat basin at Citizen's Dock, destroying or damaging three floating docks and causing minor damage several boats (Figure l).The event highlighted a persistent problem for hazard mitigation: Most people are still unaware that first waves rarely...
On 25 April 1992, an M 7.1 earthquake shook the coast of Cape Mendocino near Petrolia, Calif., followed by two large aftershocks (both ∼6.6) next day. Although no lives were lost in these temblors, 98 people injured. These earthquakes heavily damaged older structures within this sparsely populated, mountainous region, causing more than US$66 million losses.
On November 15, 2006 the harbor at Crescent City in Del Norte County, California was hit by a series of tsunami surges generated Mw 8.3 Kuril Islands earthquake. This earthquake produced largest to reach since 1933 when tide gauge installed. The amplitude surge, 1.76 m peak trough, sixth cycle, arriving over two hours after first wave arrived. caused an estimated $9.2 million losses small boat basin, damaging floating docks and several boats. event highlighted vulnerability harbors from...
