On July 29, 2025, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake shook the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, generating a tsunami that propagated ...

Abstract: Wave motion lies at the heart of many disciplines in the physical sciences and engineering. For example, problems and applications involving light, sound, heat, or fluid flow are all likely ...

Dispersive shock waves (DSWs) represent a class of nonlinear wave phenomena in which phase dispersion, rather than viscosity or dissipation, governs the evolution of abrupt changes in a medium. Unlike ...

Improving tsunami hazard assessments depends on understanding what happens at the moment an earthquake ruptures beneath the seafloor, especially near deep-ocean trenches where measurements are often ...

Our research is in the field of nonlinear waves, lying at the nexus of applied mathematics and physics. Mathematically, the nonlinear waves that we investigate are solutions to nonlinear, dispersive ...

Ultrafast laser sources in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum are vital for many applications, from detecting trace gases in the atmosphere to advanced medical diagnostics. However, pushing fiber laser ...

The effect of free-surface drift layers on the maximum height that a steady wave can attain without breaking is explored through experiments and numerical simulations. In the experiments, the waves ...
