In the first edition, we paid attention not only to tsunami waves, but to related phenomena,
namely, seaquakes, as well, which to a significant extent reflected the interests of the …

The southwestern half of a∼ 500 km long seismic gap in the central Kuril Island arc
subduction zone experienced two great earthquakes with extensive preshock and …

The near-field expression of the tsunami produced by the 15 November 2006 Kuril
earthquake (M w 8.1–8.4) in the middle Kuril Islands, Russia, including runup of up to 20 m …

Numerical simulation of seismotectonic tsunamis usually starts with specification of the initial
elevation of the water surface in the tsunami source. The initial elevation is traditionally set …

The evolution of the late Holocene environments has been reconstructed on the basis of
multiproxy studies of peat sequences. The vegetation response to short-period climate …

This review summarizes the concepts of seismogenic tsunami waves. Principles of short-
term tsunami forecasting and tsunami recording systems are discussed. The traditional …

Major earthquakes occurred in the region of the Central Kuril Islands on November 15, 2006
(M w= 8.3) and January 13, 2007 (M w= 8.1). These earthquakes generated strong tsunamis …

A new method for the specification of initial conditions in the tsunami problem is suggested.
The initial elevation of a water surface is determined from the solution of the three …

We present a structural study of the Central Kuril Islands forearc region, where the great
megathrust tsunamigenic earthquake (M w 8.3) occurred on November 15, 2006. Based on …

The great plate interface Kurile earthquake of 15 November 2006 (Mw= 8.3) was
immediately followed by normal aftershocks in the outer rise of the central Kurile subduction …
