Tsunami Science

Tsunami science is the interdisciplinary academic and research field dedicated to understanding the complex physical processes of tsunami generation, propagation across ocean basins, and coastal inundation, employing observational data, numerical modeling, and historical analysis to advance hazard assessment, forecasting, and risk reduction strategies.
