| Zusammenfassung |
In spite of the fact that the great majority of seismic tsunami is generated
in ocean domains, smaller basins like the Ionian Sea sometimes experience
this phenomenon. In this investigation, we study the tsunami hazard
associated with the Ionian Sea fault system.
A scenario-based method is used to provide an estimation of the tsunami
hazard in this region for the first time. Realistic faulting parameters
related to four probable seismic sources, with tsunami potential, are used to
model expected coseismic deformation, which is translated directly to the
water surface and used as an initial condition for the tsunami propagation.
We calculate tsunami propagation snapshots and mareograms for the four
seismic sources in order to estimate the expected values of tsunami maximum
amplitudes and arrival times at eleven tourist resorts along the Ionian
shorelines.
The results indicate that, from the four examined sources, only one possesses
a seismic threat causing wave amplitudes up to 4 m at some tourist resorts
along the Ionian shoreline. |
