distinctive limit between an area with sand coverage, vegetation destruction, and soil erosion on the one hand, and the unaffected … natural vegetation on the other. This distinction provides a good landmark to map the inundation width, delimited on the … landward side by a trimline. In this study, older trimlines, dating back about 300 years, from tsunamis that occurred …

using a hydraulic flume with a mangrove forest model was carried out in which tests were conducted by varying the vegetation … ratio of 1:100. Two conditions of water levels were considered in the experiments at several tsunami wave heights between 2 ….4 and 14 cm. The dam break method used in the experiments produced two types of waves. At low water condition, a bore was …

Deterministic numerical models for tsunami inundation provide the most accurate means for estimating tsunami run-up when the bathymetry/topography and water-level time history at the seaward boundary are well known. However, it is often the case that there is uncertainty in both the...

A very severe cyclonic storm ‘Thane’ developed over the Bay of Bengal during 25–30 December 2011, crossed the Tamilnadu coast between Pondicherry and Cuddalore (southeast coast of India) in early hours of 30 December with a wind speed 120–140 km/h. The offshore tide record reveals that...

This paper analyses some particular characteristics of merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions in an emerging market (Portugal) using a sample of 52 M&A targets between 1989 and 2001. Our evidence shows that the run-up effect in the Portuguese market is of a significantly larger magnitude (as...
