Funded Activity Summary

Supercomputer Simulation and Risk Evaluation of Tsunami Generation Induced by Earthquakes. New hotspot forecasts show that great earthquakes are likely to occur during the next decade in the Western Pacific north of New Zealand which potentially poses a tsunami risk to Australia. The project will enable this risk to be reliably assessed thereby providing the information needed to properly manage this risk thus addressing the national research priority: Safeguarding Australia. Building on extensive geo-data and Australia's forefront position in solid earth simulation via investment in the ACcESS Major National Research Facility, the project provides an opportunity for Australia to play a key role in constructing next generation real-time tsunami warning systems.
