Objetivo
Shelf zones are quickly becoming new major areas of industrial technological development owing to growing population in maritime regions and vast natural resources such as fish, oil, and gas available in these areas. Therefore, understanding risks of natural and human-made hazards in these areas contributes to strengthening the scientific and technological basis of a number of industries including oil/gas production and transport. Traditional ways to evaluate risks of earthquakes and tsunamis (e.g. through analysing historic data) are often not comprehensive enough and may result in lower risks than actual risks of these hazards, while a combined approach developed recently at the Shish Institute provides more accurate evaluations, which may affect significantly human research and industrial activities in maritime areas. The goal of the proposed project is to disseminate information to scientific and industrial communities on combined risks of earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis to create consortium for conducting a large-scale international project devoted to investigation of combined egoisms in coastal, shelf, and continental slope areas of the Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian seas. This goal will be achieved through preparing educational and illustrative material, organizing meetings, workshops with and giving presentations to potential partners, planning and conducting official and personal communications devoted to the project.
