Landslide tsunami case studies using a Boussinesq model and a fully nonlinear tsunami generation model
International audience Case studies of landslide tsunamis require integration of marine geology data and interpretations into numerical simulations of tsunami attack. Many landslide tsunami generation and propagation models have been proposed in recent time, further motivated by the 1998 Papua New G...

International audience Case studies of landslide tsunamis require integration of marine geology data and interpretations into numerical simulations of tsunami attack.
