As one bookseller said after the Indian Ocean tsunami event, "I would have just filled my front window with copies and they would have walked out the store." This statement was just as relevant after the Japanese tsunami of 2011 and will be as relevant when the next large tsunami event happens, sooner rather than later. The book can be used by a student or layperson to gain encyclopedic knowledge about tsunami.Natural disastersOceanographyPhysical geographyClimate changeNatural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Oceanographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005Physical Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Natural disasters.Oceanography.Physical geography.Climate change.Natural Hazards.Oceanography.Physical Geography.Climate Change.551.4637Bryant Edwardauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut45397BOOK9910298363403321Tsunami2515868UNINA
