    Sensitivity of Tsunami Scenarios to Complex Fault Geometry and Heterogeneous Slip Distribution: Case‐Studies for SW Iberia and NW Morocco (2021)
    AGU (American Geophysical Union) | Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: The SW Iberian margin is one of the most seismogenic and tsunamigenic areas in W-Europe, where large historical and instrumental destructive events occurred. To evaluate the sensitivity of the tsunami impact on the coast of SW Iberia and NW Morocco to the fault geometry and slip distribution for local earthquakes, we carried out a set of tsunami simulations considering some of the main known active crustal faults in the region: the Gorringe Bank (GBF), Marquês de Pombal (MPF), Horseshoe (HF), North Coral Patch (NCPF) and South Coral Patch (SCPF) thrust faults, and the Lineament South (LSF) strike-slip fault. We started by considering for all of them relatively simple planar faults featuring with uniform slip distribution; we then used a more complex 3D fault geometry for the faults constrained with a large 2D multichannel seismic dataset (MPF, HF, NCPF, and SCPF); and finally, we used various heterogeneous slip distributions for the HF. Our results show that using more complex 3D fault geometries and slip distributions, the peak wave height at the coastline can double compared to simpler tsunami source scenarios from planar fault geometries. Existing tsunami hazard models in the region use homogeneous slip distributions on planar faults as initial conditions for tsunami simulations and therefore underestimate tsunami hazard. Complex 3D fault geometries and non-uniform slip distribution should be considered in future tsunami hazard updates. The tsunami simulations also support the finding that submarine canyons attenuate the wave height reaching the coastline, while submarine ridges and shallow shelves have the opposite effect.

    Tsunami forecasting variability as resulting from slip models obtained by geophysical data inversion and by a Phase Variation Method (2023)
    In:  XXVIII General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-11
    Description: The accurate estimate of the tsunami forecast is crucial in Tsunami Early Warning Systems (TEWS) framework. However, the inherent uncertainties associated with the tsunami source estimation in real-time make tsunami forecasting challenging. In this study, we consider the South American subduction zone, one of the most seismically active regions in the world, where in the last 15 years occurred, three M8+ tsunamigenic earthquakes; in particular, we focus on the 2014 Mw 8.1 Iquique event. Here, we compare the tsunami forecasting for the Chilean coast as resulting i) from the coseismic slip model obtained by geophysical data inversion and ii) from an expeditious method for the tsunami source estimation, based on an extension of the well-known spectral approach. In the former method, we estimate the slip distribution of the 2014 Iquique earthquake by jointly inverting tsunami waveforms and GPS data; on the other hand, a set of stochastic slip models in the latter is generated through a Phase Variation Method (PVM), where realizations are obtained from both the wavenumber and phase spectra of the source. We also evaluate how the different physics complexity included in the tsunami modelling (e.g. by including dispersion or not) can be mapped into the tsunami forecasting uncertainty. Finally, as an independent check, we compare the predicted deformation field from the slip models (inverted or by PVM) with the RADARSAT-2 InSAR data.

    Digital-Twin development for Probabilistic Tsunami Forecasting (2023)
    In:  XXVIII General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-03
    Description: Probabilistic Tsunami Forecasting (PTF) combines early estimates of earthquake parameters with ensembles of urgent tsunami propagation simulations through the Tsunami-HySEA model. In the present implementation, the PTF is initialised by the earthquake information, but not updated further with new data. In the recently started Horizon Europe project DT-GEO work has started upgrading it into a Digital Twin providing a time dependent update of the model when new data becomes available. This enables a close to real time synthesis of data products and numerical models, continuously updating the model forecast as new data are continuously assimilated. In DT-GEO, an extended set of data sources, including improved earthquake solutions, sea level tsunami data, and GNSS, will be integrated. Secondly, the Digital Twin will implement a modularised inclusion of improved wave and source physics through dispersion, non-hydrostatic tsunami generation, inundation, improved earthquake physics, and cascading earthquake triggered landslide tsunamis. The model will be tested at site demonstrators, in the Mediterranean Sea for eastern Sicily and Samos, and in the Pacific Ocean for Chile and Japan. The presentation will explain how the PTF as it works today, followed by an outline of the design of the components in the Digital Twin. The presentation will finally describe initial improvements and plans for further development, including long term plans such as potential integration into Destination Earth and service provision within EPOS-ERIC. This work is supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Program under grant agreement No 101058129 (DT-GEO, https://dtgeo.eu/).

    Towards the new Thematic Core Service Tsunami within the EPOS Research Infrastructure (2022)
    In:  Annals of Geophysics
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-15
    Description: Tsunamis constitute a significant hazard for European coastal populations, and the impact of tsunami events worldwide can extend well beyond the coastal regions directly affected. Understanding the complex mechanisms of tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation, as well as managing the tsunami risk, requires multidisciplinary research and infrastructures that cross national boundaries. Recent decades have seen both great advances in tsunami science and consolidation of the European tsunami research community. A recurring theme has been the need for a sustainable platform for coordinated tsunami community activities and a hub for tsunami services. Following about three years of preparation, in July 2021, the European tsunami community attained the status of Candidate Thematic Core Service (cTCS) within the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) Research Infrastructure. Within a transition period of three years, the Tsunami candidate TCS is anticipated to develop into a fully operational EPOS TCS. We here outline the path taken to reach this point, and the envisaged form of the future EPOS TCS Tsunami. Our cTCS is planned to be organised within four thematic pillars: (1) Support to Tsunami Service Providers, (2) Tsunami Data, (3) Numerical Models, and (4) Hazard and Risk Products. We outline how identified needs in tsunami science and tsunami risk mitigation will be addressed within this structure and how participation within EPOS will become an integration point for community development.

    The EU Center of Excellence for Exascale in Solid Earth (ChEESE): Implementation, results, and roadmap for the second phase (2023)
    In:  Future Generation Computer Systems
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-21
    Description: The EU Center of Excellence for Exascale in Solid Earth (ChEESE) develops exascale transition capabilities in the domain of Solid Earth, an area of geophysics rich in computational challenges embracing different approaches to exascale (capability, capacity, and urgent computing). The first implementation phase of the project (ChEESE-1P; 2018–2022) addressed scientific and technical computational challenges in seismology, tsunami science, volcanology, and magnetohydrodynamics, in order to understand the phenomena, anticipate the impact of natural disasters, and contribute to risk management. The project initiated the optimisation of 10 community flagship codes for the upcoming exascale systems and implemented 12 Pilot Demonstrators that combine the flagship codes with dedicated workflows in order to address the underlying capability and capacity computational challenges. Pilot Demonstrators reaching more mature Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) were further enabled in operational service environments on critical aspects of geohazards such as long-term and short-term probabilistic hazard assessment, urgent computing, and early warning and probabilistic forecasting. Partnership and service co-design with members of the project Industry and User Board (IUB) leveraged the uptake of results across multiple research institutions, academia, industry, and public governance bodies (e.g. civil protection agencies). This article summarises the implementation strategy and the results from ChEESE-1P, outlining also the underpinning concepts and the roadmap for the on-going second project implementation phase (ChEESE-2P; 2023–2026).
