TSI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting awareness and mitigation of the adverse impact of tsunamis on humanity. TSI holds Tsunami symposiums and workshops every two or three years, for the purpose of presenting recent advances in research, early warning systems and technology. Also, since 1982, the Society has been publishing, free of charge, its Open Access, international, scholarly journal, “ SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI HAZARDS”. This is the only peer-reviewed journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge about tsunamis, research advances, programs of preparedness and strategies for mitigating losses of lives and destruction of property. TSI maintains and archives an extensive electronic database of all its past publications at our own website and at mirror sites made available at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the DOAJ electronic database maintained by the University of Lund in Sweden and at THE NATIONAL LIBRARY, The HAGUE, NETHERLANDS. Recently, EBSCO Publishing invited the Society to include "Science of Tsunami Hazards" in their extensive online database. This collaboration (in process) will give the journal additional global exposure and readership in the databases of 90% of the academic institutions worldwide, including nation-wide access to databases in more than 70 countries.
The additional demand to organize, catalogue, abstract and archive the Society's electronic database for worldwide free access, has placed additional demands on TSI's limited resources. To properly meet TSI's objectives, we depend solely upon an increase in professional memberships, associate memberships and on tax-deductible donations from sponsors.
For donations of $50 or more, decorative electronic, printable “Certificates of Appreciation”, suitable for framing, are issued.

Journal SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI HAZARDS
Welcome
to the Web Site of TSUNAMI SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL and its electronic, international
journal "SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI HAZARDS" (STH) - published
to disseminate the results of applied and theoretical research on tsunamis and to increase knowledge about their
hazards.The links below and on the left provide information about the Tsunami Society,
on past and future activities and symposiums, on membership, and
directions for the submission of relevant scientific papers
pertaining to tsunami hazards for publication in
our journal. "Science of Tsunami Hazards" is a unique, peer-reviewed journal which has been published continuously without interruption since 1982, initially in print but subsequently in both electronic and printed formats.
Also, SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI HAZARDS has been accepted for inclusion in the prestigious international academic journal database DOAJ maintained by the University of Lund in Sweden with the support of the European Union. All papers published in the last 10 years were submitted, along with their bibliographic data, keywords and abstracts, to DOAJ*. The database is being currently updated with similar search criteraia for the 1982-1999 period. See listing of our journals at the *Directory of Open Access Journals
Additionally, SPARC Europe and DOAJ have entered an agreement about introducing a certification scheme for Open Access journals, the SPARC Europe Seal for Open Access Journals. - for which SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI HAZARDS is now eligible.
Also, all past and curent issues of the journal, in electronic format, are archived as a mirror sites at the Los Alamos National Laboratory's electronic database, ( http://library.lanl.gov/tsunami/ )at the U.S Library of Congress, as well as at the present website. Additioanlly, all current and past STH papers, along with the article-specific search criteria for each paper, are presently being archived at THE NATIONAL LIBRARY, The HAGUE, NETHERLANDS http://www.kb.nl/e-Depot
Recently, EBSCO Publishing invited the Society to include "Science of Tsunami Hazards" in their extensive online database. The collaboration - endorsed by contract - will give the journal additional global exposure and readership in the databases of 90% of the academic institutions worldwide, including nation-wide access to databases in more than 70 countries.

Tsunami Society International is pleased to co-sponsor the 9th US National and 10th Canadian Conference on Earthquake Engineering that is being hosted by EERI and The Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering. The conference is titled "Reaching Beyond Borders" and will provide an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to share the latest knowledge and techniques for understanding and mitigating the effects of earthquakes. The conference will be a a unique environment that will facilitate synergy between U.S. and Canadian colleagues, as well as other participants from around the world. This conference will highlight a broad range of disciplines, including architecture, structural engineering, seismology, geology, geophysics, geotechnical engineering, business, public policy, social sciences, regional planning, emergency response planning, and regulation. The Fourth International Tsunami Symposium will be held as the Tsunami Session of the joint conferences.
