The main objective of this thesis is to improve the knowledge of tsunami hazard in Western Mediterranean and Northern Atlantic. It focusses on earthquake-generated tsunamis which present the advantage to be preceded by a useful precursor for the warning, that can be felt by the population: the earth...
