Science of Tsunami Hazards

The Journal of Tsunami Society Intenational, in support of its stated mission and functions, and in order to increase and disseminate knowledge about tsunamis and their hazards, has published continuously for the last 40 years the journal known as "SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI HAZARDS". Although in recent years many tsunami research papers have been published in a variety of other miscellaneous journals, none of these journals are dedicated specifically to tsunamis. Searching for specific data and research results about tsunamis is often difficult and time consumming. Subscription costs are usually high, and thus many tsunami-related papers published in these journals have limited dissemination. Furthermore, the general public and scientists from developing countries, with limited institutional sponsorship and support, are often unable to subscribe or access these journals. However, Tsunami Society International makes all of its publications available readily to the international scientific community and to the general public free of charge. Finally, to assure high quality standards of publication, all papers submitted to the Science of Tsunami Hazards Journal receive a thorough "peer-review" by an International Editorial Board consisting of senior scholars with specific multidisciplinary expertise. The archived published papers in the Society's journal include a wealth of data, research results and references on tsunamis that does not exist anywhere else.
