Tsunami modeling and simulation

Tsunami modeling and simulation involve creating computer-based representations of how tsunamis form, travel, and impact areas. Scientists use these models to predict wave size, speed, and arrival times based on factors like earthquake source data, ocean depth, and coastline geography. This helps authorities plan evacuation routes and early warning systems to protect communities. The process combines physics, oceanography, and computer science to provide reliable forecasts, enabling better preparedness and risk assessment for regions vulnerable to tsunamis.
