A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 occurred near the island of Paramushir (KurilIslands) on 25 March 2020. It caused a weak tsunami in Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands.Earthquake and tsunami data from three DART buoys are discussed and compared withnumerical simulations. It is shown that the calculated and measured tsunami characteristics onthe DART buoys is in very good agreement. There are also data on the recording of thisearthquake by a laser strain-meter installed in the Sea of Japan at Shults cape at a distance ofmore than 2,000 km from the epicenter of the earthquake. There is also an instrumentalrecording of the tsunami at the Vodopadnaya point in the southeast of Kamchatka.Unfortunately, there was a large storm at sea at this time, and the amplitudes of tsunami wavesand storm waves were comparable to each other, so here the agreement between calculationsand observations does not seem good enough.

The September 28th, 2018, Tsunami In Palu-Sulawesi, Indonesia: A Post-Event Field Survey Omira, R.; Dogan, G. G.; Hidayat, R.; Husrin, S.; Prasetya, G.; Annunziato, A.; Proietti, C.; Probst, P.; Paparo, M. A.; Wronna, M.; Zaytsev, A.; Pronin, P.; Giniyatullin, A.; Putra, P. S.; Hartanto, D.; Ginanjar, G.; Kongko, W.; Pelinovsky, E.; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-2-28) On September 28th, 2018, a powerful earthquake (M-w 7.5) struck the Island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. The earthquake was followed by a destructive and deadly tsunami that hit the Bay of Palu. A UNESCO international tsunami survey team responded to the disaster and surveyed 125km of coastline along the Palu Bay up to the earthquake epicentre region. The team performed 78 tsunami runup and inundation height measurements throughout the surveyed coastline. Measured values reached 9.1m for the runup height and 8....
The possibility of tsunami in the Sea of Okhotsk caused by deep-focus earthquakes Zaytsev, A. I.; Pelinovsky, E. N.; Kurkin, A. A.; Kostenko, I. S.; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2016-03-01) The earthquake that occurred on May 24, 2013, in the basin of the Sea of Okhotsk with a magnitude of 8.3 was the strongest in this region. We have modeled a possible tsunami caused by such an earthquake. The simulations confirm that the wave heights were sufficiently small because the earthquake epicenter depth was 640 km. We analyze the oscillations of the DART buoys in the vicinity of the earthquake source and show that they were not associated with the tsunami waves. Analysis of the available pressure ga...
Structural and Non-Structural Countermeasures and Awareness Studies After the Tsunami Disaster: Case of Japan GÜLER, HASAN GÖKHAN; Ozer Sozdinler, Ceren; Arikawa, Taro; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2018-09-01) Tsunami generated by the earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 on March, 11, 2011 caused a high number of casualties and significant economic loss. Planning and reconstruction studies following the 2011 Tsunami in Japan are important examples of countermeasures to be taken against tsunamis In this study, observations from two field surveys conducted after five years following the tsunami event, focusing on structural and non-structural countermeasures in addition to disaster management and creation of disaster...
THE JULY 20, 2017 BODRUM/KOS EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI: FIELD SURVEYS, LESSONS and MODELING Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Papadopoulos, Gerassimos A; Doğan, Gözde Güney; Güler, Hasan Gökhan; Özer Sözdinler, Ceren; Ulutaş, Ergin; Arıkawa, Taro; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Kanoğlu, Utku; Güler, Işıkhan (null; 2018-08-04) A magnitude (Mw) 6.6 earthquake occurred on July 20, 2017 (22:31 UTC) in between Bodrum, Turkey and Kos Island, Greece. Field surveys are conducted in the region (Yalciner et al., 2017) including southern and northern coastlines of Bodrum peninsula, Karaada, Akyaka town and Kos Island. A tide gauge located in Bodrum main port recorded the tsunami. The main objectives of these field surveys are to document tsunami effects along the coast, to obtain the available data on the wave height and inundation extent,...
The depth effect of earthquakes on tsunami heights in the Sea of Okhotsk Zaytsev, Andrey; Kostenko, Irina; Kurkin, Andrey; Pelinovsky, Efim; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2016-01-01) The earthquake of magnitude M-w = 8.3 that occurred on 24 May 2013 in the Sea of Okhotsk was the most powerful earthquake in the region. Fortunately, the generated tsunami was small because of the deep focal depth (609 km) and was only detected by the nearest Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) buoy records. However, the event highlighted the fact that any earthquakes with similar magnitudes at shallower focal depths would have caused considerable tsunamis. In order to evaluate the effect...
