In Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, debris entrained within the incoming tsunami waves was responsible for widespread infrastructure damage (Chock et al., 2011). The presence inundating wave needs to be taken into consideration; however, few methodologies and tools exist estimate hazards. Therefore, one option evaluate behavior drifting is using numerical models. Currently, particle method,...

Within the German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System project GITEWS (Rudloff et al., 2009), a feasibility study on a future tsunami detection system from space has been carried out. The Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is an innovative way of using reflected GNSS signals for remote sensing, e.g. sea surface altimetry. In contrast to conventional satellite radar alt...

Since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the most destructive tsunami in recorded history, worldwide awareness of tsunami hazard has peaked and global expansion of tsunami forecasting tools has made dramatic progress in both instruments and technology. Two of the most seminal advances in tsunami forecast since the Indian Ocean tsunami are: 1) the deployment of an extensive network of sensors to acq...
