How did the tsunami that resulted from the 1964 Alaska earthquake affect clam beds in Yaquina Bay? This document gives a detailed look at the state of the bay post-tidal wave. Includes reports from clam...

Measurements of social constructs that evaluate natural hazard preparedness are important to decrease natural hazard vulnerability. Preparedness reduces natural hazard impacts and human vulnerability....

Most tsunami studies have been conducted based on the incompressible fluid theory. However water compressibility must be considered for the process of tsunami generation by bottom displacements during submarine...
