Course I: Tsunami Sources & Tsunami Propagation, 8-19 May 2006

 

UNESCO-IOC International Training Course on Tsunami Numerical Modeling:
Course I: Tsunami Sources and Tsunami Propagation

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
8-19 May 2006

Training will be conducted through two Courses with Course I concentrating on providing the background in geology and geophysics, seismology, oceanography and tsunami science to understand the problem to be solved, and training in the numerical propagation of tsunami waves from a number of different source configurations to understand the effects of initial boundary conditions on the different models used for computation. Tsunami propagation covers the numerical simulation of tsunamis from the source to a depth offshore of coasts, and can be simulated using publicly-available bathymetric databases such as ETOPO2. The Training will include hands-on computer work to calculate the tsunami wave effect from a number of different plausible sources with the goal of contributing to the creation of as Regional Tsunami Hazard Map for the Indian Ocean based on several worst case scenario earthquakes and tsunamis generated off of Indonesia and Pakistan. The map product will be presented at the ICG/IOTWS-III in August, 2006 in Bali, Indonesia.
