Description
Summary:This report presents the numerical modelling outcomes for selected historical events using the JRC-SWAN, HyFlux2 and SELFE models, namely the 1755 Great Lisbon Earthquake, the 1969 Horseshoe Abyssal Plain Earthquake and the 2010 Xynthia Storm. This research was carried out in the European Crisis Management Laboratory at the European Commission Joint Research Centre, Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen, Global Security and Crisis Management Unit, Crisis Monitoring and Response Technologies, in the scope of the project Natural Disaster Detection, Monitoring and Alerting for Humanitarian and Civil Protection Communities.
