The wave group are delighted to announce some newly published work in the journal Geosciences, which is part of a special issue: Advances in tsunami science towards tsunami threat reduction. The work focuses on the tsunami threat posed by the Lisbon 1755 earthquake event on the Irish coastline and was carried out in collaboration with Brian McConnell of Geological Survey Ireland.
As there is no general consensus on the earthquake source parameters for the Lisbon event, multiple sources introduced in the literature are investigated. The tsunami hazard associated with the event is captured on three gradated levels. With the internally developed massively parallel tsunami code, Volna-OP2, used to simulate the resultant tsunami waves. Regional faster than real time simulations for the
