Tsunami Run-Up Model And Inundation Maps For Malaysia

This study mainly aims to assess the vulnerability of Malaysian coasts to tsunamis originating from nearby subduction zones, namely the Sunda Trench and the Manila Trench, and from the Brunei Slide. For this purpose, a two-dimensional tsunami run-up model, codenamed TUNA-RP, is developed and validat...
