Abstract
When a seismic event in a coastal region initiates an energetic Tsunami on the sloping shelf of that region, some of the energy propagates seaward, some of it is manifested in the run-up on the coastal segment alongside the source region and then reflected seaward and some of it, in the form of trapped “edge-waves”, propagates along the shelf with a dispersive attenuation. We quantify here the broadside run-up and the encroachment that accompanies the along-shore propagation.
