Impact of a 1755-like tsunami in Huelva, Spain
Coastal areas are highly exposed to natural hazards associated with the sea. In all cases where there is historical evidence for devastating tsunamis, as is the case of the southern coasts of the Iberian Peninsula, there is a need for quantitative hazard tsunami assessment to support spatial planning. Also, local authorities must be able to act towards the population protection in a preemptive ...
متن کامل250th Anniversary of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake
A probabilistic method that takes account of the ordinal character of the MSK Scale has been adapted to generate a 1755 seismic intensity map for the Iberian Peninsula. Statistical models are employed to estimate isoseismals and to compute standard error uncertainties. The output includes intensity maps, estimates of the effects associated with each intensity level, and estimates of the distrib...
متن کاملA new numerical model for simulating the propagation of and inundation by tsunami waves A new numerical model for simulating the propagation of and inundation by tsunami waves
A new unstructured grid, finite volume ocean model is described, that is suitable for flooding and drying problems. Here we derive the finite volume analogue of the P 1 −P1 finite element, by interpreting the advective term in the continuity equation in a flux sense. A corresponding non-overlapping control volume is then selected for the momentum equation. The resulting model employs the median...

متن کاملTsunami Inundation Mapping for Alaska Communities
Alaska has the greatest tsunami potential in the entire United States. Historic tsunamis generated by earthquakes on the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone have resulted in widespread damage and loss of life along the Alaskan Pacific coast and other places located at exposed locations around the Pacific Ocean. Large seismic events occurring in the vicinity of the Alaska Peninsula, Aleutian Islands...
