- National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center, MNR, China
Overview
The Asia-Pacific region is highly vulnerable to coastal hazards, particularly tsunamis and storm surges, due to its extensive coastlines and numerous island nations. Recent catastrophic events have highlighted the critical need for improved warning systems and mitigation strategies. This symposium brings together experts, policymakers, and practitioners to address the challenges in predicting and mitigating these devastating natural phenomena.
The focus on tsunami warning systems comes in the wake of several major events that have affected the region in recent decades, emphasizing the need for rapid and accurate detection and notification systems. Similarly, the increasing frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones, exacerbated by climate change, necessitates advanced storm surge forecasting capabilities.
By convening in Xiamen, China, a coastal city with its own experiences of such hazards, participants will have the opportunity to exchange knowledge, discuss recent technological advancements, and forge collaborations to enhance regional resilience against tsunamis and storm surges.
Program Objectives:
To improve tsunami warning and storm surge prediction capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region, thereby enhancing disaster mitigation and coastal community resilience. Specific objectives:
1) Analysis of historical tsunami and storm surge events
2) Occurrence and mechanism of earthquakes and tsunamis
3) Cause analysis of non-seismic and complex tsunamis
4) Tsunami and storm surge monitoring and early warning technologies
5) Numerical simulation of tsunami and storm surge
6) Tsunami and storm surge risk assessment
7) The application of artificial intelligence in tsunami and storm surge warning and forecasting
