| Zusammenfassung |
| A new version
of the European catalogue of tsunamis is presented here. It differs from
the latest release of the catalogue that was produced in 1998 and is known
as GITEC tsunami catalogue in some important aspects. In the first place,
it is a database built on the Visual FoxPro 6.0 DBMS that can be used and
maintained under the PC operating systems currently available. Conversely,
the GITEC catalogue was compatible only with Windows 95 and older PC
platforms. In the second place, it is enriched by new facilities and a new
type of data, such as a database of pictures that can be accessed easily
from the main screen of the catalogue. Thirdly, it has been updated by
including the newly published references. Minute and painstaking search
for new data has been undertaken to re-evaluate cases that were not
included in the GITEC catalogue, though they were mentioned in previous
catalogues; the exclusion was motivated by a lack of data. This last work
has focused so far on Italian cases of the last two centuries. The result
is that at least two events have been found which deserve inclusion in the
new catalogue: one occurred in 1809 in the Gulf of La Spezia, and the
other occurred in 1940 in the Gulf of Palermo. Two further events are
presently under investigation. |
