water waves Tsunamis Statistical Modelling

Surface water waves are a physically important phenomenon with which we all have some experience. They are also surprisingly complex and interesting from a mathematical perspective. I will discuss two recent projects in water wave modeling. The first deals with ocean waves, such as tsunamis, passing over the continental slope. It has long been known that the amplification of such waves is greater than what the traditional transmission coefficient would predict.
