Corrections of the Indian gauge data used for early assessments of the great 26 December 2004 earthquake part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource is an abstract. This study re-evaluates slip velocity over the region of the December 26, 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake. Using new data, the authors found that a mixed mode of slip ...

Tsunami warnings using ocean circulation models part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource is an abstract. This study uses numerical models that take advantage of digital seismometry and satellite radar altimetry to shed light on tsunami source and formation mechanisms. The ...

Listening to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami quake part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource is an abstract. This study tracks the movement of the rupture that caused the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami by comparing recordings of sound waves from five sensors located ...

A tsunami warning system for the Indian Ocean part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource is an abstract. Using tidal gauge data from the time of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the authors were able to reconstruct the height and speed of the waves and the time it took them ...

Tsunami "shadows" may allow remote detection of tidal waves part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource provides an abstract. This study investigates tsunami shadows, extended dark strips on the ocean surface before a tsunami. Such shadows are found to result from an air-sea interaction ...

How volcanic eruptions cause tsunamis part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This study investigates the effect of pyroclastic flows on tsunami generation. The authors analyzed several possible mechanisms that occur when the particle rich flows encounter water and conclude ...
