Abstract: Approximately 70% of global tsunamis are generated within the pan Pacific Ocean region. This paper reports on detailed analysis of civilian video footage from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, Japan. Comprehensive scientific analysis of tsunami video footage can yield valuable insights into geophysical processes and impacts. Civili22an video footage captured during the 2011 Tohoku, East Honshu, Japan tsunami was critically examined to identify key tsunami processes and estimate local inundation heights and flow velo… Show more

“…Reports have highlighted the effectiveness of HF radar (Ogata et al, 2018) and satellite observations of minor sea-level changes in the mid-ocean caused by tsunamis (Koshimura et al, 2020). Video footage has also been reported as very effective for tsunami analysis (e.g., McDonough-Margison et al, 2023). Despite these developments, observation networks capable of detecting tsunamis in coastal areas are still limited.…”
