Class Notes: GLY 110, Paul Howell Endangered Planet: An Introduction to Environmental Geology Notes 4b: Tsunamis Tsunami: What is it? * A long-wavelength, low-amplitude surface wave in the ocean, or a very large lake. * The long wavelength gives the wave great speed (~800 km/hour) in deep water. * The wave amplitude (height) increases dramatically as the wave enters shallow water, because the wave slows down in front due to friction with the sea floor, and the back end catches up, making it taller. Figure: Tsunami: Earthquake causes uplift, uplift moves water, causing tsunami. Tsunami: Why? * Caused by a rapid (minutes) and significant change (meters ++) in seafloor depth (either shallower or deeper) over a broad area => this displaces the ocean surface (up or down) over a wide region. * Earthquakes: large areas of uplift or subsidence due to large earthquakes * Undersea Landslides: downslope movement of enormous blocks of slope materials * Volcanic explosions: massive sudden displacements, usually phreatic (steam) eruptions Tsunami: Animation.

43. Tsunami Geology geology. Tsunami’s are Ocean Waves produced by earthquakes occurring under theocean. On the open ocean, tsunamis cannot be felt by ships because the http://library.thinkquest.org/04oct/01085/Geology.html

Geology Tsunamis are mainly generated by earthquake-induced movement on the ocean floor. Landslides, volcanic eruptions, and even meteorites can also generate tsunamis. If a major earthquake happens near a costal area, a tsunami could reach the beach in a few minutes, even before a warning is issued. Areas at greatest risk are less than 25 feet above sea level and within one mile of the shoreline. Most deaths caused by a tsunami are because of drowning. From an initial tsunami generating source area, waves travel outward in all directions like the ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond. As these waves approach coastal areas, the time between successive waves can vary from 5 to 90 minutes. The first wave is usually not the largest in the series of waves, but can be. Tsunamis can also travel up to 2 miles up rivers and large streams inland. Many people think that there are specific tsunami danger zones but tsunamis can strike any coastal area.

44. Locally-Generated Tsunamis In Hawaii John R. Smith, Jr. (bathymetry and geology) Estimate the inundation hazardin Hawaii from locallygenerated tsunamis. Advise emergency managers about http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/tsunami/

2005 Update: This project is now over. Inundation computations using superior models and better bathymetry are being carried out by Prof. Kwok Fai Cheung's group in Ocean and Resources Engineering . They are the ones updating the evacuation maps in the telephone book. Because several instructors use these pages for teaching, they will be maintained on this server until the end of December 2005. Team Members Gerard J. Fryer (seismology and geology) John R. Smith, Jr. (bathymetry and geology) Philip Watts (hydrodynamic modeling) Our Objectives Estimate the inundation hazard in Hawaii from locally-generated tsunamis. Advise emergency managers about local tsunami hazard and guide development of emergency response procedures. Provide tsunami modeling codes to the Pacific Disaster Center for upgrade of inundation maps as better bathymetry/topography data become available. Funding This effort was jointly supported by NASA ( Solid Earth and Natural Hazards Program ) and by NOAA ( National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program ). We are in a funding hiatus, but will be back in action soon. We gratefully acknowledge support from and from the Left: Inundation of Honolulu from a Kona tsunami.

The evacuation map is produced in consultation with local officials who generally want an additional safety factor added to scientific results. The brochure gives lots of other useful information about preparedness and is downloadable as a PDF file from the website above. Map base is a street grid. INUNDATION MAP This is a scientific product based on detailed computer modeling of 3 Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes, least, middle, and worst case events. These maps are not downloadable. Map base is either an orthophoto or a street grid. A regulatory map, or Senate Bill 379 map , of the "official" inundation zone that limits new construction of certain critical and essential facilities, including some schools Inundation lines on these maps can be viewed as sort of a middle case event and were produced in 1995 to implement Senate Bill 379. These regulations are summarized in the attachment. No other map can substitute for an SB 379 map, even if the map is based on newer data, until an official DOGAMI Board action approves the new map. These maps are downloadable from the website above and appear on a USGS topographic map base.

Neill's Geology: Disasters! Home Glaciologists Marine Geologists Paleontologists ... Gemmologists Landslides When you here the word Landslide ! what do you think of? You say you think of a mass of snow, rocks, or wet mud sliding down from a high altitude triggered by a catalyst event? By golly, you're right! Landslides occur along something called (are you ready?) a plane of structural weakness ! So what, you say? Well, that means that all this muck coming down the side of the mountain, heading straight for you and your dog and your little log shack, is following the path of least resistance. The plane of structural weakness ! is the term for a path, in the mountain, that is relatively free of debris and usually is between the two highest points of the mountain. Some landslides are called mudflows , and, man, you would never saturation ). Mudflows are so strong sometimes that they carry enourmous boulders down the mountain. If the mudflow is really big, it can destroy nearby towns. I'm not kidding. Some mudflows are active for years ! Isn't that amazing? It's all part of the really super cool way that Geology works: Volcanoes and converging plates push mountains up, and mudflows and rain tear them back down, bit by tiny bit, over thousands of years, until they are flat. See, without mudflows and

Brought to you by Alaskan Wilderness Sailing and Kayaking Geology Glaciers Columbia Glacier ... Chugach National Forest The Chugach Mountains and Prince William Sound Prince William Sound with its 3,000 miles of shoreline is surrounded by the Chugach Mountains to the east, west and north. Fifty-mile long Montague Island and several smaller islands form natural breakwaters between the Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. Between the barrier islands stretch underwater sills separating the Sound's deep waters from the much shallower waters of the Gulf. Deep water renewal occurs during the winter when cold winds from interior Alaska cool the surface waters causing them to sink, while the warmer bottom water rises to the surface bringing rich nutrients which support huge plankton blooms in the spring. Millions of years of glaciation gradually carved away a coastal plateau creating the sound with its many tributary fiords and passageways, islands and rocky shores. Fewer than 10,000 people live in the three towns-Whittier, Valdez, and Cordova- and two native villages-Chenega and Tatitlek situated on the shores of the Sound. Because the Sound was formed by millions of years of glaciation, its shorelines are heavily indented by deep fiords and many smaller bays. No roads connect these communities.

Volcanic Hazards: Eruptions, Landslides, Tsunamis Instructor: Peter Schiffman, Department of Geology, College of Letters and Science Description: Volcanoes and volcanic processes pose a potential threat to humans and their infrastructures. In this seminar we will examine some key eruptions (e.g., Santorini, ca.1620 BC, Vesuvius in AD 79, Krakatau in 1883, Mt St Helens in 1980) and their impact. We will also examine potential hazards posed by other volcanoes, particularly those close to home here in the western United States and Hawaii. It is my hope these students will gain an appreciation for some natural processes (i.e., volcanism and volcanic eruptions) and the impact of these processes on humans and their infrastructure. I especially hope that this seminar may get more freshman interested in thinking about science and natural processes in a more synthetic and integrative fashion, something which they probably have never been exposed to before. Format: The seminar will meet for one hour each week for 10 weeks. If I can schedule a Saturday field trip to examine local volcanic rocks during the quarter. I will reduce the number of regular class meetings accordingly. There will be no formal text, but I will provide readings from web sites and electronic journals. Students who lead topical seminars will be assigned additional reading. I will present an introductory lecture on basic principals of volcanology for our first class meeting. For the second class meeting, I will lead the discussion on the topic for that week. In subsequent weeks, small groups (of 2 or 3 students) will be responsible for leading the discussion section. Students will also write a short paper (400-500 words) on an approved topic.
