Tsunami risk assessment: economic, environmental and social dimensions
YAVUZ, CÜNEYT; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Aral, Mustafa M. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01)
In this study, we present a novel methodology that may be used to analyze tsunami risk along coastal regions. The application of the proposed methodology is demonstrated for the Eastern Mediterranean coast. Economic, social and environmental dimensions of risk are calculated and aggregated to obtain the overall risk maps for a number of elements at risk (EaR) that are identified from seven countries located along the Eastern Mediterranean coastline. Historical earthquakes that are recorded in the region dur...
Tsunami risk and strategies for the European region (TRANSFER)
Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet(2009-10-30)
The project main goal is to contribute to our understanding of tsunami processes in the Euro-Mediterranean region, to the tsunami hazard and risk assessment and to identifying the best strategies for reduction of tsunami risk. Focus will be posed on the gaps and needs for the implementation of an efficient tsunami early warning system (TEWS) in the Euro-Mediterranean area, which is a high-priority task in consideration that no tsunami early warning system is today in place in the Euro-Mediterranean countrie...
Tsunami risk assessment using GIS-based multi criteria decision analysis at Bakirköy, İstanbul
Tüfekçi, Duygu; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Geological Engineering (2016)
Northern coast of the Sea of Marmara hosts many of coastal facilities. Bakırköy is one of the most critical coastal districts of İstanbul with the importance of air and marine transportation. There are many other coastal facilities and structures in Bakırköy district such as marinas, small scaled craft harbors, water front roads and business centers that are prone to suffer from the marine disasters. In the history, the Sea of Marmara has experienced numerous earthquakes and associated tsunamis. Therefore, ...
Tsunami focusing and leading wave height
Kanoğlu, Utku (null; 2016-04-17)
Field observations from tsunami events show that sometimes the maximum tsunami amplitude might not occur for the first wave, such as the maximum wave from the 2011 Japan tsunami reaching to Papeete, Tahiti as a fourth wave 72 min later after the first wave. This might mislead local authorities and give a wrong sense of security to the public. Recently, Okal and Synolakis (2016, Geophys. J. Int. 204, 719-735) discussed "the factors contributing to the sequencing of tsunami waves in the far field." They consi...
Tsunami action on coasts and constructions
GÜLER, HASAN GÖKHAN; ÇINAR, GİZEM EZGİ; SHARGHIVAND, NAEIMEH; ÖZER SÖZDİNLER, CEREN; DOĞAN, GÖZDE GÜNEY; NECMİOĞLU, ÖCAL; ZAYTSEV, ANDREY; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2017-07-01)
Tsunamis are high-impact, long-lasting disasters, which in most cases allow for only a few minutes of warning before impact. The amount of energy behind huge tsunami waves can cause severe destruction when it hits land and consequently causes massive loss of human life. The impact of tsunami can be considered in social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The social impact can be seen in destruction of life and property, health crisis and disease. Tsunamis may cause massive environmentally impact by dev...
