research on tsunamis and climate change

In the meantime, a study, which was published by Channel News Asia Tsunami research and the effects of climate change. Simulation technologies are becoming increasingly important because the intensification of weather events progresses through climate change. Gianmarco Mengaldo, a specialist at the National University of Singapore, warns that changes in the tropical Indo-Pacific atmosphere will strengthen heat waves and trigger extreme rainfall. These developments increase the risk of floods and landslides that could particularly affect regions that are insufficiently prepared for such disasters.

A team under the direction of Prof. Switzer has evaluated potential scenarios in which an increase in sea level by 50 cm leads to an increased tsunamir risk. New technologies, such as Tsunami-Boejen, have been developed to recognize changes in the water depth and to transmit data to control centers within a few minutes. Nevertheless, Prof. Switzer emphasizes the limits of these technologies, especially in the event of sudden natural events such as the devastating tsunami after an earthquake in Palu, Indonesia, in 2018.

Research also shows that educational measures are essential for disaster prevention. It is recommended to immediately flee to higher altitudes for noticeable earthquakes without waiting for official tsunami warnings. Experts also warn of future challenges that concern access to life -saving tools and the elucidation of the public.
