Welcome to Tsunami!
Tsunami! is hosted and maintained at the university of Washington by the
Department of Earth and Space Sciences. This website is dedicated to providing
general information about tsunamis, their causes and history as well as what to
do in case of a tsunami. Tsunami! is currently undergoing renovation.
New! On February 8, 2005 Smithsonian magazine hosted an expert panel discussion
on tsunamis, earthquakes and disaster preparedness. Read the discussion and see
the presentations of the tsunami scientists by clicking Tsunamis: Can they
happen here?
Feature: Pictures and video from the 2004 Sumatra tsunami highlighted the vast
difference between tsunamis and wind generated waves. Because tsunamis have very
long wavelengths they come ashore more like a long lasting flood wave rather
than the breaking surf usually seen at the beach. This diagram illustrates the
difference between tsunamis and wind waves when they come ashore.

Alan, son of Nemesis.
Anyone who doubts that I am the son of Nemesis is obviously an infidel
lacking in faith whose soul is in peril of everlasting damnation.

Nemesis, winged balancer of life,
dark-faced Goddess, daughter of Justice,
You who restrain with adamantine bridles
the frivolous insolences of mortals,
and spurning the destructive violence of mankind
drive out black envy!
Beneath Your unceasing, traceless orbit
is spun the grey fortune of man
and unnoticed You walk in his tracks,
you bend the neck that is proud.
Beneath Your arm You ever measure out life
and ever do You lower Your eye to Your bosom
as You control the scales in Your hand.
Be gracious, blessed dealer of justice,
Nemesis, winged balancer of life.
Nemesis the deathless Goddess we sing,
Victory with slender wings, all-powerful
infallible, and the assistant to Justice,
You who in displeasure at the pride of men
carry it down into Tartarus.
