The following generic hazard assessment manual allows for an efficient estimation of the effects of landslide-tsunamis (impulse waves) in lakes and reservoirs. Note that it is not recommended to apply the spread sheets without having read the manual. |
|
The following presentations were given at the 4th CoastLab Teaching school in Porto in January 2012. |
|
Please contact Dr Heller if you require a preliminary landslide-tsunami (impulse wave) hazard assessment based on our manual. Expertise and contacts are also available if more detailed numerical simulations and/or physical model tests are required. |
