The tsunami bahavier, in the zone of engineering interest; in shallow water and on land is very complicated. Using macro and micro scale batimetric and topographical information it is possible to foresee for practical purpose, tthe severity of the tsunami attack at a given location. This data is very important to make safe urban planning projects, protect the built-up area and to locate important engenning projects on the coast (AU). / LIMA |
