“…They find that earthquake rupture needs to extend into deep water to explain the tsunami observations. Also from the Indian Ocean, NENTWIG et al (2015) study sedimentary deposits left by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in the Seychelles Islands and find that tsunami sediments caused a change of habitat in mangrove forests on the Islands. In the South Pacific Ocean, the great 2007 Solomon Islands earthquake ruptured across a triple junction leaving behind significant bio-and geomarkers of crust rupture and generated tsunami waves.…”

Abstract-Twenty-two papers on the study of tsunamis are included in Volume I of the PAGEOPH topical issue ''Tsunami Science: Ten Years after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.'' Eight papers examine various aspects of past events with an emphasis on case and regional studies. Five papers are on tsunami warning and forecast, including the improvement of existing tsunami warning systems and the development of new warning systems in the northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean region. Three more papers present the results of analytical studies and discuss benchmark problems. Four papers report the impacts of tsunamis, including the detailed calculation of inundation onshore and into rivers and probabilistic analysis for engineering purposes. The final two papers relate to important investigations of the source and tsunami generation. Overall, the volume not only addresses the pivotal 2004 Indian Ocean (Sumatra) and 2011 Japan (Tohoku) tsunamis, but also examines the tsunami hazard posed to other critical coasts in the world.
