The present study aims to document the run-up height, losses of human lives and property damage due to the tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004 in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. These Islands were severely devastated by the tsunami. Approximately 1,925 people were lost their lives and 5,555 people were reported missing. A field survey conducted at 26 sites indicates that the run-up height reached its maxima of 17.3 m at the passenger jetty of Little Andaman area and the Chdiyatopu area was inundated 500 m from the coastline.

Many islands are scattered around the southern area of the Korean Peninsula and they may be very vulnerable to unexpected tsunami attacks. During the East Japan Tsunami Event occurred on March 11, 2011, many islands located at the southern area were affected by tsunamis. In this study, maximum run-up heights of solitary waves on a circular island with asymmetrical crest lengths investigated by using a numerical model based on the shallow-water theory. The obtained results could be used by local authorities to establish a defense plan against unexpected tsunami invasion.

A second-order upwind scheme is used to investigate the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea and the predicted results are compared with the field data and results of a first-order upwind scheme. In the numerical model, the governing equations solved by the finite difference scheme are the linear shallow-water equations in deep water and nonlinear shallow-water equations in shallow water. The target events are 1983 Central East Sea Tsunami and 1993 Hokkaido Nansei Oki Tsunami. The predicted results represent reasonably well the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea. And, the results of simulation are used for the design of inundation map.

With increasing astronomically damage costs caused by frequent and large-sized flood, a hazard map containing comprehensive analysis results such as inundation trace investigation, flood possibility analysis, and evacuation plan establishment for flooded regions is a fundamental measure of non-structural flood prevention. Though an inundation trace map containing flood investigation results occurred by typhoon, rainfall and tsunami is a basic hazard map having close relationship with a flood possibility map as well as a hazard information map, it is often impossible to be produced because of financial deficiency, time delay of investigation, and the lack of maintenance for flood traces. Therefore, this study proposes the accuracy enhancement procedure of inundation trace map with flood damage information and three-dimensional Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the past frequent flooded regions according to a guideline for inundation trace map of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

To investigate the inundation of tsunamis in the vicinity of a circular island, a numerical model has been developed based on quadtree grids. The governing equations of the model are the nonlinear shallow-water equations. The governing equations are discretized explicitly by using a finite difference leap-frog scheme on adaptive hierarchical quadtree grids. The quadtree grids are generated around a circular island where refined with rectangular or circular domain. Obtained numerical results have been verified by comparing to available laboratory measurements of run-up heights. A good agreement has been achieved.

Indonesia is more prone to natural disasters due to its geological condition under the three main plates, making Indonesia experience frequent seismic activity, causing earthquakes, volcanic eruption, and tsunami. Those disasters could lead to other disasters such as landslides, floods, land subsidence, and coastal inundation. Monitoring those disasters could be essential to predict and prevent damage to the environment. We reviewed the application of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) for detecting natural disasters in the case of Indonesia, based on 43 articles. The remote sensing and GIS method will be focused on InSAR techniques, image classification, and susceptibility mapping. InSAR method has been used to monitor natural disasters affecting the deformation of the earth's surface in Indonesia, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and land subsidence. Monitoring landslides in Indonesia using InSAR techniques has not been found in many studies; hence it is crucial to monitor the unstable slope that leads to a landslide. Image classification techniques have been used to monitor pre-and post-natural disasters in Indonesia, such as earthquakes, tsunami, forest fires, and volcano eruptions. It has a lack of studies about the classification of flood damage in Indonesia. However, flood mapping was found in susceptibility maps, as many studies about the landslide susceptibility map in Indonesia have been conducted. However, a land subsidence susceptibility map was the one subject to be studied more to decrease land subsidence damage, considering many reported cases found about land subsidence frequently occur in several cities in Indonesia.

Coastal communities have been vulnerable to extreme coastal flooding induced by hurricanes and tsunamis. Many studies solely focused on the overland flow hydrodynamic and loading mechanisms on individual inland structures or buildings. Only a few studies have investigated the effects of flooding mitigation measures to protect the coastal communities represented through a complex series of building arrays. This study numerically examined the performance of flood-mitigation measures from tsunami-like wave-induced overland flows. A computational fluid dynamic model was utilized to investigate the performance of mitigation structures such as submerged breakwaters and seawalls in reducing resultant forces on a series of building arrays. This study considered the effects of incident wave heights and four geometrically structural factors: the freeboard, crest width of submerged breakwaters, and the height and location of seawalls. The results showed that prevention structures reduced inundation flow depths, velocities, and maximum forces in the inland environment. The results also indicated that increasing the seawall height or reducing the freeboard of a submerged breakwater significantly reduces the maximum horizontal forces, especially in the first row of buildings. However, installing a low-lying seawall closer to the building rows amplifies the maximum forces compared to the original seawall at the shoreline.

The wave observation system in Korea has been established with an emphasis on pointmeasurement based on in situ instrumentations. However, the system cannot fully investigate the coastal wave-related problems that are significantly localized and intensified with three-dimensional regional geometries. Observation technique that can cover local processes with large time and spatial variation needs to be established. Video imaging techniques that can provide continuous monitoring of coastal waves and related phenomena with high spatial and temporal resolutions at minimum cost of instrumentation risks are reviewed together with present status of implementation in Korea. Practical applications of the video imaging techniques are suggested to tackle with various coastal issues of public concern in Korea including, real-time monitoring of wave runup and overtopping of swells on the east coast of Korea, longshore and rip currents, morphological and bathymetric changes, storm surge and tsunami inundation, and abnormal extreme waves in the west coast of Korea, etc.

지진해일은 많은 인명피해를 입힐 수 있는 위험한 자연재해이며, 예를 들어 각각 약 25만명과 약 2만명의 사상자가 발생하였던 2004년 수마트라 지진해일과 2011년 동일본 지진해일 등이 있다. 우리나라 동해안 또한 향후 지진 발생 가능성이 큰 지진공백역이 존재하여 안전한 지역으로 볼 수 없다. 지진해일 방재대책 수립과 관련된 연구는 지속적으로 이루어지고 있지만 지진해일의 발생빈도는 적고 완벽히 대응하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지진해일 방재대책의 가장 기본적인 자료로 이용될 수 있는 지진해일 침수예상도를 효율적인 방법으로 제작하는 것을 연구했다. 현재 우리나라의 지진해일 최대 침수예상도는 과거 및 향후 발생가능한 지진해일의 경우에 대한 모든 범람구역이 고려된 보수적인 방법으로 제작되고 있다. 지진원의 위치와 각 매개변수의 특성에 따라 범람구역이 다양하게 나타날 수 있기 때문에 보수적인 최대 침수예상도는 과도한 범람구역이 고려될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보수적인 최대 침수예상도와 비교하여 AI기술과 로직트리 기법을 통해 더 정확한 최대 침수예상도를 제작하는 것을 목표로 한다. 연구방법은 1) 고려된 모든 지진해일 시나리오에 대한 수치해석 2) 입력자료인 지진해일 초기수면 변위 이미지 증강 3) CNN모델을 활용한 초기수면 변위 이미지 분류 4) 분류된 결과의 범람 구역으로 최대 침수예상도를 제작하였다. 향후 연구결과는 지진해일 재해정보도 제작 및 지진해일 침수예측 모델 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
