From the Publisher

The Sixteenth International Tsunami Symposium, TSUNAMI 93, drew more than 150 scientists, engineers and specialists in tsunami research and disaster mitigation from 13 countries. The leading contributions to the symposium, selected after a rigorous reviewing process, are presented here under three broad headings:

• - Tsunami Generation, Propagation and Inundation: Their Prediction and Simulation.
• - Tsunami Disasters: Their Prevention and Mitigation.
• - Tsunami Observations, and Warning Systems and Plans for Improvement.

The 23 contributions included here were selected from more than 78 papers that were published as the Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Tsunami Symposium held in Wakayama, Japan, August 1993. The presentations describe studies done by scientists, engineers, and specialists focusing on disaster planning, and are divided into three major categories: the tsunami generation; propagation and inundation--prediction and simulations; preventing and mitigating tsunami disasters; and tsunami observation, warning systems and improvement plans.
