Abstract
Possibilities of high shoreline amplification and run-up are investigated. A shoreline amplification of magnitude 5·38 and a tsunamigenic (deep water) amplification of magnitude 5·71 are obtained from single waves without analytic or computational difficulties. It is not claimed that these are a maximum, but rather it is conjectured that arbitrarily high run-up and amplification can be obtained provided that the correct initial wave trains are chosen.
