With support from the US National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP), the authors have been developing tsunami inundation maps for the upper US East Coast (USEC), using high-resolution numerical modeling. These maps are envelopes of maximum elevations, velocity, or momentum flux, caused...

We discuss a paper dealing with the effect of surface wave solution non-uniqueness on 1D seismic site response analysis. We address some issues on the numerical simulations of seismic site response, specifically the correct definition of input motion. If a consistent framework is adopted, the...

We consider the population dynamics of two species described by the mutualistic Lotka–Volterra model with a +/+ interaction in the presence of spatial diffusions. The results demonstrate that diffusion does not affect the system’s stability but it brings two situations: one is a win–win...

The selection of the appropriate wave energy converter (WEC) and site is the basis for the installation of a wave farm in a region. For this purpose, the estimation of the energy that any WEC would produce at any location of interest is fundamental. Despite all its importance, this information...

The Andaman-Sumatra arc is an active subduction zone and had generated several destructive tsunamis in the past. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami has led to more and more paleotsunamic research of identifying geological evidences of past submergence. These paleotsunamic studies along the east coast...
