Description

Explore the vital scientific findings regarding tsunami risks in the Caribbean Sea. While this region is often associated primarily with hurricanes, this book provides a deep look into the actual tsunami hazards present. It covers the various factors that cause tsunamis in the area, including earthquakes, submarine explosions, and both sub-aerial and submarine landslides. By presenting field evidence from recent and prehistoric tsunami events, this volume establishes a factual foundation for understanding regional risks. It also details the mitigation efforts currently being implemented through local actions and collaborations with national and international organizations. This text serves as a comprehensive record of the NSF Caribbean Tsunami Workshop held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, offering essential data for researchers and professionals in oceanography and earth sciences.
