Special Issue "Ten Years after the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami: Social and Environmental Impacts, Lessons Learned, and New Perspectives"


Dear Colleagues,

The devastating 2011 Tohoku tsunami was the deadliest and most damaging tsunami after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Although the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami led to significant progress in Geosciences, the 2011 Tohoku tsunami challenged our knowledge of tsunamis again. It taught us new lessons and proved the need of substantial improvements in seismology and tsunami research. The aim of this Special Issue is to represent new studies and findings of the 2011 Tohoku tsunami and tsunami science in general. Therefore, we welcome submissions of original research on tsunamis and related hazards. These may include but are not limited to the following topics:

1. New studies shedding light on the 2011 Tohoku tsunami;
2. Seismic and non-seismic tsunamigenic sources;
3. Paleo-tsunami research;
4. Tsunami generation modeling;
5. Innovative numerical modeling approaches to tsunami waves;
6. Tsunami hazard and risk assessment and management;
7. Tsunamigenic potential of subduction zones;
8. Social and environmental impacts of tsunamis;
9. Tsunami preparedness and awareness, urban resilience, and post-disaster reconstruction.

** The review papers are particularly welcome.

** Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 August 2021
