This monograph is a compilation of a number of research studies
presented in fourteen chapters dealing with the impact and
restoration of coastal environments that have been affected by
earthquakes and tsunamis. The focus is mainly on rivers,
estuaries, coastal lagoons, beaches, and related ecosystems. In
addition to direct impact and response due to flooding and
subsequent abrasion, this publication covers physical, chemical
and biological responses in coastal morphology, water quality and
ecosystems and includes also topics dealing with risk reduction
and vulnerability.

earthquake and tsunami events in the Indian and Pacific Ocean that
are complemented with other events in Latin America and the Iberian
Peninsula.

Comprehensive descriptions of multi-scale impacts of tsunami and
earthquake events, both spatially and temporally, will help the
reader to understand the complicated interactions which occur in
coastal zones in order to create a sustainable, resilient
environment and achieve a society with smart post-event recovery
planning. This book is aimed at researchers and students in coastal
science and engineering as well as at policy makers, environmental
planners and coastal managers.
