Very large tsunamis are associated with low probabilities of occurrence. In many parts the world, these events have usually occurred in a distant time past. As result, there is risk perception and lack collective memories, making tsunami communication both challenging complex. Furthermore, immense challenges lie ahead as population exposure continue to increase coastal areas. Through last decades, caught populations off-guard, providing evidence preparedness. Recent tsunamis, such Indian...
Abstract. Spain represents an important part of the tourism sector in Western Mediterranean, which has been affected past by tsunamis. Although tsunami risk at Spanish coasts is not highest necessity mitigation measures should be neglected. In Mediterranean area, exposed to two different tectonic environments with contrasting characteristics. On one hand, Alboran Basin characterised transcurrent and transpressive tectonics and, on other North Algerian fold thrust belt, compressive tectonics....
Abstract. Advances in the understanding and prediction of tsunami impacts allow development risk reduction strategies for tsunami-prone areas. This paper presents an integral framework formulation evacuation plans based on vulnerability assessment modelling. considers (i) hazard aspects (tsunami flooding characteristics arrival time), (ii) exposed area (people, shelters road network), (iii) current warning procedures timing, (iv) time needed to evacuate population, (v) identification...
Abstract. Advances in the understanding and prediction of tsunami impacts allow for development risk reduction strategies tsunami-prone areas. This paper presents a vulnerability assessment case study El Salvador, applied methodology dealing with complexity variability coastal zones by means (i) an integral approach to cover entire risk-related process from hazard, assessments final management; (ii) integrated combine aggregate information stemming different dimensions coupled human natural...
Owing to its unique physical and socio-economic characteristics, the Saint Louis region stands out as one of most susceptible areas in Senegal adverse impacts coastal erosion. The dynamics erosion this are significantly influenced by Langue de Barbarie (LB), a sand spit formed at mouth River. Initially, 2003, 4 m wide artificial breach was strategically introduced mitigate flooding; however, sediment expanded it 6 km 2020, thereby affecting entire region. This study delves into coastline...
This article presents a reasonable present-day, sea-level highstand numerical simulation and scenario for potential tsunami generated by landslide with the characteristics of BIG'95 debris flow, which occurred on Ebro margin in western Mediterranean Sea prehistoric times (11,500 cal yr BP). The submarine deposit covers an area 2200 km2 slope base (200–1800-m water depth), involving volume 26 km3. A leapfrog finite difference model, COMCOT (Cornell multigrid coupled model), is used to...
Abstract. Oman is located in an area of high seismicity, facing the Makran Subduction Zone, which major source earthquakes eastern border Arabian plate. These earthquakes, as evidenced by several past events, may trigger a tsunami event. The aim this work to minimize consequences that events cause coastal communities integrating risk assessment and reduction measures part risk-management preparedness strategy.

Abstract. El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America; its coast has an approximate length of 320 km, 29 municipalities more than 700 000 inhabitants. In there were 15 recorded tsunamis between 1859 2012, 3 them causing damages resulting hundreds victims. Hazard assessment commonly based on propagation numerical models for earthquake-generated can be approached through both probabilistic deterministic methods. A approximation been applied this study as...

Tsunamis constitute a significant hazard for European coastal populations, and the impact of tsunami events worldwide can extend well beyond regions directly affected. Understanding complex mechanisms generation, propagation, inundation, as managing risk, requires multidisciplinary research infrastructures that cross national boundaries. Recent decades have seen both great advances in science consolidation community. A recurring theme has been need sustainable platform coordinated community...
Tsunami hazard can be analyzed from both deterministic and probabilistic points of view. The approach is based on a “credible” worst case tsunami, which often selected historical events in the region study. Within (PTHA, Probabilistic Hazard Analysis), statistical analysis carried out particular regions where records tsunami heights runup are available. In areas these scarce, synthetic series usually generated using Monte Carlo approaches. Commonly, sea level variation currents forced by...
Abstract. Tsunami run-up is a key value to determine when calculating and assessing the tsunami hazard in tsunami-prone area. Run-up can be accurately calculated by means of numerical models, but these models require high-resolution topobathymetric data, which are not always available, long computational times. These drawbacks restrict application assessment small areas. As an alternative method, address large areas empirical formulae commonly applied estimate run-up. based on or physical...
Abstract. Advances in the understanding of tsunami impacts allow developing products to assess its consequences tsunami-prone areas, as it is case coast Sultanate Oman. This paper presents followed methodology and obtained results for assessment hazard Oman development scenario database that feeds Tsunami Warning System (TWS). Initially, a seismo-tectonic analysis area was carried out, focused on identifying seismic areas whose earthquakes could generate tsunamis affecting A 3181...

Abstract. The violent explosion of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on January 15, 2022, was origin an atmospheric wave and a volcano-meteorological tsunami (VMT), both which were recorded worldwide. Tonga event caused resonance effects, leading to amplification in some far-field coastal areas like La Pampilla port Callao, Peru, 10,000 km away from volcano, where rupture Vessel mooring lines occurred 15 hours after eruption, resulting spill over 11,000 barrels crude oil. This study aims...
Abstract. The explosion of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano on 15 January 2022 (Tonga 2022) was origin a volcano-meteorological tsunami (VMT) recorded worldwide. At distance exceeding 10 000 km from and h after its eruption, moorings ship in port La Pampilla, Callao (Peru), failed, releasing over 11 barrels crude oil. This study delves into profound implications Tonga event, investigating whether it could have led to breaking mooring system. We conducted comprehensive analysis this...
Although Tsunamis are a relatively infrequent phenomena represent larger threat than earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornados have caused more 420,000 casualties since 1850.
