As global awareness of tsunami hazard and risk grows, the North-East Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and connected Seas (NEAM) region still lacks a thorough probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment. The TSUMAPS-NEAM project aims to fill this gap in the NEAM region by 1) producing the first region-wide long-term homogenous Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) from earthquake sources, and by 2) triggering a common tsunami risk management strategy. The specific objectives of the project are tackled by the following four consecutive actions: 1) Conduct a state-of-the-art, standardized, and updatable PTHA with full uncertainty treatment; 2) Review the entire process with international experts; 3) Produce the PTHA database, with documentation of the entire hazard assessment process; and 4) Publicize the results through an awareness raising and education phase, and a capacity building phase. This presentation will illustrate the project layout, summarize its current status of advancement including the firs preliminary release of the assessment, and outline its connections with similar initiatives in the international context.

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...
Probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment at Seaside, Oregon, for near- and far-field seismic sources Gonzalez, F. I.; et. al. (2009-11-24) The first probabilistic tsunami flooding maps have been developed. The methodology, called probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTHA), integrates tsunami inundation modeling with methods of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). Application of the methodology to Seaside, Oregon, has yielded estimates of the spatial distribution of 100- and 500-year maximum tsunami amplitudes, i.e., amplitudes with 1% and 0.2% annual probability of exceedance. The 100-year tsunami is generated most frequently by...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for earthquake induced landslides Balal, Onur; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the major sources of earthquake hazards in near fault regions. Simplified tools, such as Newmark’s Sliding Block (NSB) Analysis are widely used to represent the stability of a slope under earthquake shaking. The outcome of this analogy is the slope displacement where larger displacement values indicate higher seismic slope instability risk. Recent studies in the literature propose empirical models between the slope displacement and single or multiple ground mot...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Eastern Marmara Region Gülerce, Zeynep (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-01) The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic hazard in Eastern Marmara Region using an improved probabilistic seismic hazard assessment methodology. Two significant improvements over the previous seismic hazard assessment practices are accomplished in this study: advanced seismic source characterization models in terms of source geometry and recurrence relationships are developed, and improved global ground motion models (NGA-W1 models) are employed to represent the ground motion variability. Plan...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for sliding displacement of slopes: an application in Turkey Gülerce, Zeynep (2017-07-01) Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the major sources of earthquake hazards in near fault regions. Simplified tools such as Newmark's sliding block (NSB) analysis are widely used to estimate the sliding displacement of slopes during earthquake shaking. Additionally, empirical models for predicting NSB displacement using single or multiple ground motion intensity measures based on global (e.g. NGA-W1 database, Chiou et al. 2008) or regional datasets are available. The objective of this study is to...
