Objective
To study tsunami generation mechanisms, for example by the
process of earthquake activity and by submarine or coastal
landslides. To evaluate tsunami hazard in the European seas in
order to reduce tsunami risk in Europe.
Theoretical analyses will include numerical simulation of major
past
tsunamis: in the Northern Sea, in Southern Italy, in the Aegean
Sea and in Portugal (e.g. the 1755 Lisbon event, with calibration
through recent tsunami data from the 28.02.1969 event), and data
acquisition by field and laboratory analyses.
Statistical methods will be applied for identification of
tsunamigenic sources.
Geological analyses will be performed for the identification and
dating of tsunami deposits. This will be achieved through core
sampling in Greece (Aegean sea), in Italy (Gargano), and in
Portugal (Algarve).
Study of sediments in emerged bassins along the Norwegian coast
for identification and dating of tsunami deposits.
Collection and analysis of existing tsunami data; testing and
intercomparison of two tsunami warning systems: DETWS-
Destructive Earthquakes and Tsunami Warning System (Portuguese
system) and Tremors-Tsunami Risk Evaluation through seismic
moment from Real Time System (French system).
Social and economic investigations (tsunami mitigation,
population education).
The following results will be obtained: Production of a unified
catalogue of European Tsunamis. Estimation of Tsunami frequency
for particular coastal areas over long (geological) time scales.
Assessment of Tsunami hazard and impact for particular coastal
areas. Model simulation of European Tsunami events in Nordic
seas, Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean sea. Intercomparison
of the performance of the two warning systems DETWS and TREMORS.
