Generation, propagation, run-up and impact of landslide generated tsunami: a literature review

Submarine landslide is the most serious threat on both local and regional scales. Tsunami
phenomenon induced by submarine slide has put us on the challenge in understanding from
generation mechanism to propagation and coastal inundation and mitigating the risk from it.
Submarine slides can trigger tsunamis with high run-up affecting offshore structures, subseafacilities and human lives along the shoreline. Unfortunately, there are no effective numerical models that could simulate simultaneously all stages of generation, propagation and run-up of tsunamis phenomena. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the landslide tsunami
phenomenon.
