If Hurricane Ike had made landfall just fifty miles down the Texas coast, the devastation and death caused by what was already one of the most destructive hurricanes in US history would have quadrupled. Ike made everyone realize just how exposed and vulnerable the Houston-Galveston area is in the face of a major storm. What is done to address this vulnerability will shape the economic, social, and environmental landscape of the region for decades to come. In Lessons from Hurricane Ike, Philip Bedient and the research team at the Severe Storm Prediction, Education, and Evac

This revised and updated second edition details the vast progress that has been achieved in the understanding of the physical mechanisms of rogue wave phenomenon in recent years. The selected articles address such issues as the formation of rogue waves due to modulational instability of nonlinear wave field, physical and statistical properties of extreme ocean wave generation in deep water as well as in shallow water, various models of nonlinear water waves, special analysis of nonlinear resonances between water waves and the relation between in situ observations, experimental data and rogue wave theories. In addition, recent results on tsunami waves due to subaerial landslides are presented.This book is written for specialists in the fields of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, nonlinear physics, physical oceanography and geophysics, and for students learning these subjects. Throughout the book, in fact, the reader will find a combination of theoretical and statistical/empirical treatment necessary for the complete examination of this subject. … Overall, ‘Extreme Ocean Waves’ is a valuable contribution to the literature on wave theory and statistics, helping fill an important gap in our knowledge of a variety of unusual waves. It should be of great interest to scientists and engineers studying physical oceanography, wave dynamics and observations, nonlinear physics, and applied mathematics.”  (Eric L. Geist, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 168, 2011).
