TL;DR: In this article, a study has been carried out with a view to calculate the coastal vulnerability index (CVI) to know the high and low vulnerable areas and area of inundation due to future accelerated sea level rise (SLR), and land loss due to coastal erosion.

TL;DR: In this article, a variational method was used to solve the internal-wave equations in order to understand the nonlinear effect in a two-layer system, and the applicability of the proposed numerical computation scheme was confirmed to agree with linear dispersion relation theoretically obtained from variational principle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the critical level derived from the KdV theorem is used as a useful parameter for classifying the dynamics of internal waves breaking over a slope, and as the horizontal distance from critical level to the internal wave breaking point increases, internal waves break more dynamically over the slope.

TL;DR: The field survey results obtained by the team of authors in the north of Miyagi Prefecture between April 1 and 6, 2011 are summarized referring to a part of the survey results by other teams of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Joint Survey Group as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, field surveys were performed in the southwest of Bangladesh to learn lessons out of severe disasters due to Cyclone Sidr, where spatial distributions of inundation heights were measured around the most damaged area.
