In a context of global change and increasing anthropic pressure on the environment,
monitoring the Earth system and its evolution has become one of the key missions of …

Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

Earthquake moment tensors reflecting seven years of global seismic activity (2004–2010)
are presented. The results are the product of the global centroid-moment-tensor (GCMT) …

I am grateful to the many people who played a part in the evolution of this book: my
colleagues David McGlynn and Jerald Podair; Princeton University Press editors Eric …

Abstract The disastrous Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 was one of
the largest ever recorded. The damage potential of such earthquakes depends on the extent …

Since the 1970s, solitary waves have commonly been used to model tsunamis especially in
experimental and mathematical studies. Unfortunately, the link to geophysical scales is not …

We determine coseismic and the first-month postseismic deformation associated with the
Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 from near-field Global Positioning …

Numerical model simulations, combined with tide-gauge and satellite altimetry data, reveal
that wave amplitudes, directionality, and global propagation patterns of the 26 December …

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake is another striking example–after the 2008 Wenchuan and
2010 Haiti earthquakes–of highly destructive earthquakes that occurred in areas predicted …

This article focuses on the effect of dispersion in the field of tsunami modeling. Frequency
dispersion in the linear long-wave limit is first briefly discussed from a theoretical point of …
