| Zusammenfassung |
| The coasts of Turkey have been hit by tsunamis in the
past. The first national earthquake-tsunami catalogues were compiled in the
early 1980s while the most up-to-date tsunami catalogues are mainly the
products of recent European projects. The EU projects GITEC and GITEC-TWO
(Genesis and Impact of Tsunamis on the European Coasts) and TRANSFER
(Tsunami Risk ANd Strategies For the European Region) have added important
contributions in establishing and developing unified criteria for tsunami
parameterisation, standards for the quality of the data, the data format and
the database general architecture. On the basis of these new aspects and
based on recent marine geophysical data, tsunamigenic earthquakes,
tsunami intensities and their reliability have been revised. The current version
of the database contains 134 events, most of which have affected the Turkish coasts
seriously during the last 3500 years. The reliability index of 76 events was
"probable" and "definite", so that they could be used for assessment of
the risk along the Turkish coastal region and for implementation of
prevention policies. |
