註釋This book aims to present the overall existing tsunami hazard in the Caribbean Sea region, a region which is typically only associated with hurricanes. It initially presents an overview of all of the existing tsunami-causing factors found in the region: earthquakes, sub-aerial and submarine landslides, and submarine explosions. This is followed by field evidence of recent and pre-historic tsunami events, which gives credibility to all of this effort. The next section is a description of the tsunami hazard mitigation efforts being carried out locally and in collaboration with national and international programs. The final part is dedicated to the presentation of related recent research results. Contents: Need for a Caribbean Tsunami Warning System; Overview of Potential Tsunami Sources in the Caribbean Sea Region; The Tsunami Evidence in the Caribbean: Paleotsunami Studies; Recent Caribbean Programs and Studies; Tsunami Physics and Modeling Efforts. Readership: Geologists, seismologists, oceanographers, coastal engineers, emergency response personnel, volcanologists, civil engineers, upper level undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and academic/lecturers.
