| dc.description.abstract | The Indian Ocean Tsunami de 'r-stated the- coastline of Sri Lanka. This paper sumrnarises the initial efforts in understanding the tsunami wave and its hydraulic impact on the Sri Lankan coastline. It focuses attention on the hydraulic processes which led to large scale inundation, analysis of wave- current measurements recorded offshore of Colombo Harbour and describes post tsunami field investigations to assess the overall impact on the coastline. The paper identifies the need for modeling of potential tsunamis and discusses briefly issues relating to the planning of countermeasures. | en_US |
