Description

This project uses GREAT v1.0 (Global Real-time Early Assessment of Tsunamis) to assess tsunami arrival time and coastal wave amplitude proxies along the Palestinian coast for plausible Eastern Mediterranean sources. GREAT analyses fast hydroacoustic signals generated with tsunamis, enabling earlier inference than sea-level-only approaches. A key feature is that the project can be run by multiple students in parallel, each taking a different focus: theory, simulations, or machine learning, while sharing the same scenario set and coastal points of interest.
