 AGITHAR (Cost Action EU): 

Go to project AGITHAR's website | Visit project COST's website

Accelerating Global science In Tsunami HAzard and Risk analysis - is a network to improve, standardize, and promote tsunami research. It uses specific COST tools - workshops, networking, exchange of experts - in order to

  • Assess current approaches in tsunami hazard and risk analysis, and evaluate them quantitatively by means of common metrics and benchmarks;
  • Determine gaps in scientific knowledge, methodological approaches and tools in order to achieve robust tsunami hazard and risk analysis across a variety of tsunami sources, including earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, and meteorological events;
  • Derive and agree on best practices and standards for probabilistic tsunami hazard and risk analysis, through discussion by a large group of practitioners;
  • Identify issues and challenges to orient future research;
  • Disseminate the acquired knowledge among hazard and risk practitioners and end-users.

 

ARISTOTLE ENHSP: 

Go to project ARISTOTLE ENHSP's website

ARISTOTLE-ENHSP (also known as ARISTOTLE2 being the continuation of the previous ARISTOTLE 2016-2018) is a project financed by the EC DG-ECHO that delivers world leading multi-hazard advice capability to the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC).
ARISTOTLE-ENHSP has been designed to offer a flexible and scalable system that can provide new hazard-related services to the ERCC and to create a pool of experts in the field of Meteorology and Geophysics of Europe that can support the ERCC with regard to situation assessments in crisis situations.

ChEESE (HPC Center of Excellence in Solid Earth): 

Go to project ChEESE's website

The main objective of ChEESE is to establish a new Center of Excellence (CoE) in the domain of Solid Earth (SE) targeting the preparation of 10 Community flagship European codes for the upcoming pre-Exascale (2020) and Exascale (2022) supercomputers.

EWRICA (Early-Warning and Rapid ImpaCt Assessment with real-time GNSS in the Mediterranean) GFZ - Univ. Potsdam - Coop.Partners: INGV, NOA, IPMA, Univ. of Malta

Go to project EWRICA's website

We aim to develop fast kinematic and point source inversion and modeling tools combining GNSS-based near field data with traditional broadband ground velocity and accelerometer data. The joint inversion of near-field displacement and local velocity and acceleration is a key to improve fast estimates of seismic moments, depth and rupture directivity, all parameters that control ground shaking and secondary effects as tsunamis and landslides. We will provide measures to improve the prompt impact assessment after large earthquakes, as tsunami wave height maps, long period ground shaking maps, and maps indicating enhanced potential for landslide occurrence. Our prototype systems will be developed and tested in close cooperation with our partners, who run operational earthquake monitoring and tsunami warning as NEAMTWS TSP (North-eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and connected seas Tsunami Warning Service Provider) at their centres.

GTM (Global Tsunami Model Network): 

Go to project GTM's website 

The Global Tsunami Model (GTM) Network aims to assess and provide community-based standards, good practices and guidelines for Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis (PTHA and PTRA). The GTM overall vision and goals are to collaboratively achieve a thorough understanding of tsunami hazard and risk, together with the processes that drive them.

SIMIT (Interreg SICILY-MALTA) INGV 

Go to project SIMIT's website ; Read the 2014-2020 programming

Italy-Malta’s Programme contributes to a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth of the territories, through the protection of the environment, the promotion of cultural heritage, and the improvement of the quality of life and health of citizens.

Through the publication of public notices, the Programme finances cooperation projects regarding the following areas:

  • Research and innovation to improve the quality of life and enjoyment of the cultural heritage
  • Creation and strengthening of SMEs and micro-enterprises in the fields of environmental protection and the quality of life and health of citizens
  • Mobility of workers within the cross-border area
  • Restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity protection
  • Mitigation of climate change effects and risk scenarios

The Managing Authority is the Regione Siciliana – Dipartimento regionale della Programmazione (Palermo) and it is responsible of the sound implementation and management of the Programme.

TSU-CAST (TSU-CAST- TSUnami ForeCASTing) 

Go to project TSU-CAST's website

Tsunamis may strike a coastal population within a very short amount of time. To effectively forecast and warn for tsunamis in the near-field, extremely fast simulations are needed. Until recently, such urgent tsunami simulations were practically infeasible. Using Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) opened a new avenue for performing Faster Than Real-Time (FTRT) tsunami simulations. More information on project's website
