International Workshop on Tsunami Modelling   JRC Ispra, 5-6 October 2006 Building 26b, Meeting Room 2nd Floor

The Joint Research Centre, in collaboration with DG-ECHO, DG-ENV, DG-INFSO and DG-RTD organizes the 1st International Workshop on Tsunami modelling which will be held in Ispra, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, at the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizens (IPSC). WORKSHOP TOPICS Tsunami types: seismological, landslides. Different models for a different tsunami types or the same model for all types? Tsunami generation: are the existing models satisfactory or is there statistical evidence for correlation between seismological data and wave generation data. Error bands and statistical evidence. Models for wave propagation in deep water: 3d/2d models, implicit or explicit models, grid size needs, etc. Use of detailed or coarse bathymetry. Models for run-up and flooding predictions: the same model as for deep water or a dedicated model for shallow water? Early warning systems: requirements and needs Models verification: experimental data or real Tsunami data. Need for additional experimental data? Creation of International Standard Problems exercise on Tsunami International Tsunami Database: reliability and needs Objectives The Tsunami event of 26th December 2004 focused the attention of the scientific community on modelling activities related to Tsunami Research. In view of development of early warning or early aid systems, further research is needed to develop operational models to predict the generation, the evolution, the propagation and the run-up of Tsunami tidal waves. The objectives of the analytical investigations are different depending on the scope and use of the calculations: Study of past events to predict creation, propagation, run-up Prediction of waves behaviour for early warning Detailed analysis on local Tsunami Workshop Programme Thursday 5 October 2006, 9:30 - 18:00 Introduction 'Welcome address and Workshop Introductory Remarks' - A.
