SEISMOLOGY:
Enhanced: Tsunamigenic Sea-Floor Deformations
Costas Synolakis, Philip Liu, George Carrier, and Harry Yeh
In addition to the primary damage they do, earthquakes can cause tsunamis, massive ocean swells that can inundate coastal regions. In their Perspective, Synolakis et al. describe results presented at a workshop on the interface between seismology and tsunami hydrodynamics held in Santa Monica in May 1997. The authors discuss the highlights of the meeting and summarize future directions for research.
