This book has been published in order to deepen efforts towards the understanding of tsunami dynamics that seems to be never enough. This multi-disciplinary volume compiles a collection of scientific papers showing the state-of-the-art of tsunami research at different levels.

The various contributions cover an array of themes that span from geological evidence to post-trauma human care, encompassing pre-tsunami analyses and modeling to post-tsunami management and preparedness techniques.
