A product of the Third International Workshop on Long-Wave Runup Models at USC’s Wrigley Marine Science Center in 2004, this two-part review volume looks at tsunamis, investigating various numerical models used for simulating tsunami waves and evaluating the efficacy of these models. USC Viterbi School of Engineering professor Costas Synolakis, a staff member of the Tsunami Research Center at USC, and his co-editors have assembled a collection of papers from the conference’s participants, which provides reviews of the models under investigation and identifies their different benchmark problems.
