This blog post analyzes the tsunami measurements following the Great Sendai Earthquake on March 11, 2011. It discusses buoy data from the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), calculating tsunami wave celerity at around 500 km/hr. The post examines wave amplitudes and the phenomenon of wave shoaling impacting tsunami heights near shorelines.

In this blogpost we try and explore a fundamental phenomena called the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and exemplify it with a paperweight toy. What is the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability First of all, lets try and understand what is the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is not a person with a mental health issue, rather it is the naturally

This blogpost debunks ten misconceptions about tsunamis, emphasizing their complexity and dangers. It clarifies that tsunamis can arise from various triggers, are shallow water waves, and involve multiple flooding instances. Effective prediction and mitigation strategies exist, including seeking high ground quickly during a tsunami warning, despite misconceptions suggesting otherwise.

In this blogpost we consider effective investment strategies for climate adaption considering the case study of earthquakes across Japan. We investigate the historic lessons learned based on investments done in the past to prevent and mitigate future losses. Combating future climate change induced natural disasters require effective investment strategies, thus this post takes Japan as

In this blogpost we examine a marginal cloudburst event specifically focused on the Roskilde municipality in Denmark. The event occurred on the 26-28’th of August across the entirety of Roskilde city. The cloudburst event in Roskilde Recently, there have been an extreme cloudburst event in the Roskilde Municipality which turned out to correspond to a
