Birkhauser Tsunami And Its Hazards In The Indian And Pacific Oceans 2007 Edition by Kenji Satake Emile A. Okal José C. Borrero

This volume features contributions from the first Meeting of the Tsunami Commission after the big 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. It presents consolidated findings based on hydrophone records seismometer readings and tide gauges. In addition the volume provides reports of post-tsunami surveys and numerical simulations for tsunamis such as the 2004 Indian Ocean event. It also details tsunami dangers and early warning systems.
