Numerical modeling of tsunamis and tsunami vulnerability analysis for Heraklion, Crete
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Mathematical Methods in The Applied Sciences"
DOI: 10.1002/mma.4134
Abstract: Tsunamis are rare events compared with other extreme natural hazards, but the growth of population along coastlines has increased their potential impact. Tsunamis are most often generated by earthquake-induced dislocations of the seafloor, which displace… read more here.
