Earth and environmental sciences are well represented, of course, but papers also consider social and medical aspects of the big waves. The topics include a model for tsumanis and poisonous gases generated by asteroid impact in the Black Sea, characteristic wounds of the 2004 tsumani, applying coastal forest in tsumani disaster mitigation, the response of coastal vegetation and the need for green belts along India's Tamil Nadu coast as demonstrated in 2004, the 2004 inundation and evidence for earlier events in Sri Lanka, and the generation and mathematical modeling of tsumanis. Undated reports from the US Congressional Research Service also look at humanitarian assistance and relief operations; and monitoring, detection, and early warning systems.
