TL;DR: Monitoring of critical areas where landslides might be imminent and modelling landslide consequences so that appropriate mitigation strategies can be developed would appear to be areas where advances on current practice are possible.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on numerical simulations of a tsunami that might result from the extreme case of a flank collapse of the Cumbre Vieja volcano at the La Palma Island, done by combining a multimaterial model for the wave generation with Boussinesq models for the far-field propagation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of dispersion in the field of tsunami modeling is discussed from a theoretical point of view, and a single parameter, denoted as "dispersion time", for the integrated effect of frequency dispersion is identified.

TL;DR: This review presents modelling techniques and processes that govern landslide tsunami generation, with emphasis on tsunamis induced by fully submerged landslides, and finds that the landslide acceleration determines the initial tsunami elevation for translational landslide, while the landslide velocity is more important for impulsive events such as rapid slumps and subaerial landslides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experiments on run-up of strongly nonlinear waves on a beach of 10.54° inclination, where velocity fields are obtained by the PIV (particle image velocimetry) technique.
