New computer model better explains workings of tsunamis scientists have been working nearly blind in trying to understand how tsunamis work once they reach shore. Now, Frederic Dias from University College in Dublin and his team of mathematical and computer scientists have developed a computer simulation that they believe explains how tsunamis work once they reach shore. They have described their findings in Physical Review Letters. More information:  Local Run-Up Amplification by Resonant Wave Interactions, Phys. Rev.

It's indeed a interesting to see how the Earthquake near Japan coast triggered a Tsunami and caused the breakage of an ice shelf in Antarctica...!!!! U can see here the images, animation of this hypothesis.
