The Mediterranean Sea is warming at a rate faster than the global ocean average, as recent research highlights. This region particularly vulnerable to climate change due its distinctive topography and thermohaline circulation patterns. Observational evidence model-based analyses have revealed considerable shifts in properties of water masses.A crucial metric for tracking this phenomenon Ocean Heat Content (OHC). study addresses challenge devising cloud-based workflow estimate OHC, enabling...
After a seismic event, tsunami early warning systems (TEWSs) try to accurately forecast the maximum height of incident waves at specific target points in front coast, so that warnings can be launched on locations where impact destructive deliver aids these immediate post-event management. The uncertainty quantified with ensembles alternative scenarios. Similarly, probabilistic hazard analysis (PTHA) large number simulations is required cover natural variability source process each location....
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...
Abstract. We present a source solution for the tsunami generated by Mw 6.6 earthquake that occurred on 2 May 2020, about 80 km offshore south of Crete, in Cretan Passage, shallow portion Hellenic Arc subduction zone (HASZ). The tide gauges recorded this local southern coast Crete and Kasos island. used observations to constrain geometry orientation causative fault, rupture mechanism, slip amount. first modelled an ensemble synthetic waveforms at gauge locations, produced range parameter...
The Mediterranean Sea is experiencing accelerated warming, outpacing the global ocean average according to recent studies. This regional basin particularly susceptible effects of climate change due its unique topography and thermohaline circulation patterns. Observational data model reanalysis have documented significant changes in characteristics water masses.One best indicators this alarming trend Ocean Heat Content (OHC). challenge research manifests implementation a cloud-based workflow...
Following a seismic event, tsunami early warning systems (TEWSs) try to provide precise forecasts of the maximum height incoming waves at designated target points along coast. This information is crucial trigger warnings in areas where impact predicted be dangerous (or potentially cause destruction), help management potential as well reduce environmental destruction and losses human lives. For such reason, it that TEWSs produce predictions with short computation time while maintaining high...
Probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) introduces potential biases in risk assessment if it assumes static coastlines. Global warming, addition to geological and local factors, may affect sea-level rise the next few decades. Here, we provide a method that integrates expected into existing PTHA, updating regional models without further simulations. We perform at densely populated Mediterranean coasts, which are highly exposed inundations, as reported by historical instrumental evidence....
After a seismic event, tsunami early warning systems (TEWSs) try to accurately forecast the maximum height of incident waves at specific target points in front coast. The goal is launch warnings on locations where impact can be destructive, and refine these forecasts urgent computing mode its immediate aftermath, help organizing potential recovery operations. For improving accuracy computational efficiency classic forecasting methods based simulation models, scientists have recently started...
Abstract. We present a source solution for the tsunami generated by Mw 6.6 earthquake that occurred on May 2, 2020, about 807thinsp;km offshore south of Crete, in Cretan Passage, shallow portion Hellenic Arc Subduction Zone (HASZ). The tide-gauges recorded this local southern coast Crete island and Kasos island. used these observations to constrain geometry orientation causative fault, rupture mechanism slip amount. first modelled an ensemble synthetic waveforms at tide-gauge locations,...
<p><span>The study presented here takes the move from two well-known premises in tsunami science: slip distribution on earthquake faults is heterogeneous and, case of tsunamigenic earthquakes, heterogeneity influences significantly run-ups, especially for near-field areas. In perspective early warning, a crucial issue to obtain reasonable within time shorter than taken by waves impact nearest...
<p>The coasts of the Mediterranean Sea are densely populated and exposed to tsunami inundations as reported by historical evidence. Measures mitigate risk in this region based on Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessments (PTHA) computed considering present coastal morphologies. However, mean sea level projections for 21st century indicated a general rise which can be substantially modified if uplift or subsidence may occur locally due other geological factors. In order reduce...

This enhances original workflow quantification described by Volpe et al. (2019), applying some significant upgrades to simplify its application improve accuracy...
<p>We present a tsunami source solution for the 2nd May 2020, Mw 6.6 earthquake that occurred about 80 km offshore south of Crete on shallow portion Hellenic Arc Subduction Zone (HASZ). This generated small local recorded by Ierapetra tide gauge island's southern coast.
