As Edward Bryant has been telling us for years, such events happen regularly, as confirmed in the geological record, and will happen again, soon. This part of the world can expect a tsunami every 500 years at max, or 200-250 at least. Aboriginal legend attests to this, and the proof of past disasters is etched in the headlands. Inevitably, the east coast is in for another king hit. An associate professor and Geosciences head at the University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia, Bryant is a world-leading academic in his field, having written over 50 papers and two previous books on subjects as diverse as climate change, beach erosion, tsunami dynamics and the catastrophic agents of coastal evolution. This exhaus- tively researched new title has particular rel- evance for coastal populations all over the world, for there's a global history of destruc- tive tsunamis caused by earthquakes, vol- canic eruptions, submarine landslides and even meteorite and comet impacts. Bryant gets into the cut and thrust of geo- morphology in Tsunami: The Underrated Hazard (an underplayed subtitle, if ever there was one). He also strikes home the need for coastal communities to hook up to early-warning systems and adopt counter- disaster strategies to prepare for these very real tsunami risks and offset the potentially deleterious effects.
