Tsunami Hazard Assessment On The Southern Coast Of Spain, Mauricio González, Raul Medina, Maitane Olabarrieta, Luis Otero
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
In this study an indirect statistical method has been proposed to estimate the tsunami hazard assessment along the Alborán Sea Coast (Southeastern Spanish Coast). This method can be summarized as: (1) analysis of the global neotectonic setting, including geodynamic processes as well as seismicity of the region; (2) tsunami source model; (3) generation of a numerical data base of tsunami events using a numerical model; (4) probabilistic model based on Monte-Carlo simulations in order to generate a synthetic tsunami catalogue; and (5) a multidimensional interpolation method applied to combine the numerical data base with the synthetic catalogue to produce inundation …
