| Zusammenfassung |
| A primary tool for regional tsunami hazard assessment is a reliable
historical and instrumental catalogue of events. Morocco by its geographical
situation, with two marine sides, stretching along the Atlantic coast to the
west and along the Mediterranean coast to the north, is the country of
Western Africa most exposed to the risk of tsunamis. Previous information on
tsunami events affecting Morocco are included in the Iberian and/or the
Mediterranean lists of tsunami events, as it is the case of the European
GITEC Tsunami Catalogue, but there is a need to organize this information in
a dataset and to assess the likelihood of claimed historical tsunamis in
Morocco. Due to the fact that Moroccan sources are scarce, this compilation
rely on historical documentation from neighbouring countries (Portugal and
Spain) and so the compatibility between the new tsunami catalogue presented
here and those that correspond to the same source areas is also discussed. |
