Abstract. On 30 December 2002 the coast of volcanic island Stromboli, in Tyrrhenian sea, Italy, was attacked by two tsunamis generated landslides that took place on north-west flank volcano. The and represented most impressive threatening episodes a strong effusive eruption, started 28 from new vent which opened close to north-east crater In spite intensified monitoring carried out response ensuing were not foreseen, available instrumental data are insufficient allow precise reconstruction...
Abstract. South-eastern Sicily has been affected by large historical earthquakes, including the 11 January 1693 earthquake, considered largest magnitude earthquake in history of Italy (Mw = 7.4). This was accompanied a tsunami (tsunami 2.3 Murty-Loomis scale adopted Italian catalogue Tinti et al., 2004), suggesting source near offshore. The fault system eastern slope is characterised NNW–SSE-trending east-dipping extensional faults active Quaternary. geometry that appears currently derived...
Scenarios represent a very useful technique for the definition and evaluation of tsunami hazard risk any given region, basic step in frame mitigation preparedness sustainable coastal zone development. With exception few countries, like Japan United States, emergency plans rest world have never taken serious care tsunamis until occurrence giant Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004. That event dramatically brought problem assessment to general attention showed urgent need implementation early...
Abstract. Eastern Sicily is one of the coastal areas most exposed to earthquakes and tsunamis in Italy. The city Catania that developed between eastern base Etna volcano Ionian Sea is, together with neighbour belt, under strong menace tsunamis. This paper addresses estimation tsunami hazard for by using technique Worst-case Credible Tsunami Scenario Analysis (WCTSA) focused on a target area including harbour beach called La Plaia where many human activities develop important structures are...

Abstract. Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes in Aeolian island arc south Tyrrhenian sea, Italy. In last 100 years relevant volcanic eruptions have beenaccompanied by local tsunamis, that caused damage and casualties. some cases direct mechanism tsunami generation clear, i.e. pyroclastic flows entering sea. others it uncertain speculation concerning collapse eruptive column on sea surface or failure underwater mass can be made. But ordinary activity unlikely to generate large...
Abstract. Alexandria is the second biggest city in Egypt with regards to population, a key economic area northern Africa and has very important tourist activity. Historical records indicate that it was severely affected by number of tsunami events. In this work we assess hazard running numerical simulations impact through worst-case credible scenario analysis (WCTSA). We identify three main seismic sources: western Hellenic Arc (WHA – reference event AD 365, Mw = 8.5), eastern (EHA 1303,...
A tsunami‐like sea disturbance of nonseismic origin was observed on 7 May 2007 the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The maximum wave amplitude three meters, and oscillations lasted for several hours. anomalous behaviour seen in many places coast Bulgaria stronger north. Several accounts eyewitnesses as well reports local port authorities tide‐gauge recordings are available have been collected analysed. tsunami could produced by a submarine landslide or atmospheric pressure pulses. Here, we explore...
Abstract. The paper explores the potential of tsunami generation by pyroclastic flows travelling down flank volcano Vesuvius that is found south Naples in Italy. eruption history shows it characterised large explosive eruptions plinian or subplinian type during which volume can be produced. most remarkable examples such occurred 79 AD and 1631 were catastrophic. Presently a repose time that, according to volcanologists, could interrupted eruption, consequently proper plans preparedness...
Abstract. The 1783 Scilla landslide–tsunami (Calabria, southern Italy) is a well-studied event that caused more than 1500 fatalities on the beaches close to town. This paper complements previous work was based numerical simulations and focused very local effects of tsunami in Scilla. In this study we extend computational domain cover wider portion western Calabria northeastern Sicily, including side Straits Messina. investigation focuses Capo Peloro area (the easternmost cape Sicily), where...
Abstract. During the last few years, steady increase in quantity and quality of data concerning tsunamis has led to an increasing interest inversion problem for tsunami data. This work addresses usually ill-posed hydrodynamical tide-gage records infer initial sea perturbation. We use method which space consists a given number waveforms model parameter is represented by values water elevation field at points. The forward model, i.e. calculation synthetic from field, based on linear shallow...
Abstract The Marsili Seamount (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) is the largest submarine volcano in Mediterranean located middle of Basin, facing Calabrian and Sicilian coasts on its eastern side, Sardinia opposite side. It has erupted historical times, summit crest affected by widespread hydrothermal activity. This study looks at mass failures taking place different depths flanks estimates their associated tsunamigenic potential. Mass failure, tsunami generation, propagation have been simulated means...
Abstract. Eastern Sicily is affected by earthquakes and tsunamis of local remote origin, which known through numerous historical chronicles. Recent studies have put emphasis on the role submarine landslides as direct cause main tsunamis, envisaging that (in 1693 1908) did produce a tsunami, but also they triggered mass failures were able to generate an even larger tsunami. The debate still open, though no general consensus has been found among scientists so far, this research had merit...
