All rights reserved.Tsunamis constitute a significant hazard for European coastal populations, and the impact of tsunami events worldwide can extend well beyond the coastal regions directly affected. Understanding the complex mechanisms of tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation, as well as managing the tsunami risk, requires multidisciplinary research and infrastructures that cross national boundaries. Recent decades have seen both great advances in tsunami science and consolidation of the European tsunami research community. A recurring theme has been the need for a sustainable platform for coordinated tsunami community activities and a hub for tsunami services. Following about three years of preparation, in July 2021, the European tsunami community attained the status of Candidate Thematic Core Service (cTCS) within the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) Research Infrastructure. Within a transition period of three years, the Tsunami candidate TCS is anticipated to develop into a fully operational EPOS TCS. We here outline the path taken to reach this point, and the envisaged form of the future EPOS TCS Tsunami. Our cTCS is planned to be organised within four thematic pillars: (1) Support to Tsunami Service Providers, (2) Tsunami Data, (3) Numerical Models, and (4) Hazard and Risk Products. We outline how identified needs in tsunami science and tsunami risk mitigation will be addressed within this structure and how participation within EPOS will become an integration point for community development.

Evaluation of tsunami scenarios for western Peloponnese, Greece Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Dilmen, D. I.; Aytore, B.; Ayca, A.; Insel, I.; Zaytsev, A. (2014-06-01) Tsunami hazard assessment of the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea is the current interest of the countries having, a coastline in this region. Considering today's increasing population on the coasts and historical tsunamis, it is essential to estimate the probable tsunami risk, which might occur, to be able to mitigate the risk before the actual tsunami event happens. For this purpose, European Union funded project., SEAHELLARC is formed to develop a methodology and tools for seismic and tsunami safety...
Towards an integrated soil moisture drought monitor for East Africa Anderson, W.B.; Zaitchik, B.F.; Hain, C.R.; Anderson, M.C.; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Mecikalski, J.; Schultz, L. (2012-09-07) Drought in East Africa is a recurring phenomenon with significant humanitarian impacts. Given the steep climatic gradients, topographic contrasts, general data scarcity, and, in places, political instability that characterize the region, there is a need for spatially distributed, remotely derived monitoring systems to inform national and international drought response. At the same time, the very diversity and data scarcity that necessitate remote monitoring also make it difficult to evaluate the reliability...
Assessment of Tsunami Wave Heights Map for Western Coast of the Black Sea Zaytsev, Andrey; Pelinovsky, Efim; Kostenko, Irina; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Kurkin, Andrey; Ranguelov, Boyko; Didenkulova, Ira (2015-10-10) Considering development of the European coastal infrastructure, the assessment of tsunami risk in the Black Sea becomes important. According to tsunami catalogue there were 30 tsunami observed in the Black sea from which 9 events occurred in the last century. The magnitudes of earthquakes generated these tsunamis were not very large. This is why most of tsunamis had local level. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information regarding tsunami impact on the coast. Therefore for inundation studies we rely on n...
Advanced two- and three-dimensional tsunami models: benchmarking and validation Velioğlu, Deniz; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) Field observations provide valuable data regarding the nearshore tsunami impact, yet only in inundation areas where tsunami waves have already flooded. Therefore, tsunami modeling is essential in order to understand tsunami behavior and prepare for tsunami inundation. Analytical and numerical methods are widely applied to predict tsunami motion and inundation characteristics. On the other hand, the data obtained from field surveys and laboratory experiments are generally used for validation and performance ...
Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis: A Review of Research Gaps Behrens, Jörn; et. al. (2021-04-29) Tsunamis are unpredictable and infrequent but potentially large impact natural disasters. To prepare, mitigate and prevent losses from tsunamis, probabilistic hazard and risk analysis methods have been developed and have proved useful. However, large gaps and uncertainties still exist and many steps in the assessment methods lack information, theoretical foundation, or commonly accepted methods. Moreover, applied methods have very different levels of maturity, from already advanced probabilistic tsunami haz...
