As of 10 August, four people were killed, some 8,000 people were left homeless, and 200 meters of railroads were washed away. More than 12,000 hectares of rice paddies were flooded in Kam Pot province alone. Floods Nov 1999 Continued torrential rains during October and early November caused flash floods and affected five southern provinces: Takeo, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Phnom Penh Municipality and Pursat. The report indicates that the floods affected 21,334 families and around 9,900 ha of rice field. IFRC's situation report dated 9 November stated that 3,561 houses are damaged/destroyed. So far, there has been no report of casualties. Flood Aug 2000 The second floods has caused serious damages on provinces in the North, the East and the South, especially in Takeo Province. Three provinces along Mekong River (Stung Treng, Kratie and Kompong Cham) and Municipality of Phnom Penh have declared the state of emergency. 121,000 families have been affected, more than 170 people were killed, and some $10 million in rice crops has been destroyed. Immediate needs include food, shelter, and the repair or replacement of homes, household items, and sanitation facilities as water levels in the Delta continue to fall.

We prepared a strain release map for this century. Adjacent to the zones of high strain release, presence of seismically quiet zones was noted. A careful inspection of the depth distribution of the earthquakes revealed that in the eastern Sunda arc, possibly there exists a zone of scarce seismicity at an interme- diate depth. We discussed the probable implications. We also analysed the patterns of temporal distributions of earthquakes at the three different seismotectonic provinces of the Sunda arc—Sumatra, Java, and the Lesser Sunda Islands. We could clearly see that, although the causative geodynamic situations for seismicity vary significantly in space along the length of the arc, the period of increase or decrease in seismicity is largely space invariant. The locally differing levels of seismicity are superposed on the common background of long period seismicity fluctuation. Finally, clustering of seismicity at some patches along the Sunda arc was studied with respect to the altimetric gravity anomaly data. We noted some apparent conformities.

Two major related problems are: (i) quantitative estimation of tsunami hazard and (ii) early detection of the most dangerous landslides. This thesis focuses on both those issues by providing numerical modeling of landslide- induced tsunamis and by suggesting and justifying a new method for fast detection of tsunamigenic landslides by means of tiltmeters. Due to the proximity to the Sunda subduction zone, Indonesian coasts are prone to earthquake, but also landslide tsunamis. The aim of the GITEWS-project (German- Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System) is to provide fast and reliable tsunami warnings, but also to deepen the knowledge about tsunami hazards. New bathymetric data at the Sunda Arc provide the opportunity to evaluate the hazard potential of landslide tsunamis for the adjacent Indonesian islands.

  • 1 the JAVA TSUNAMI MODEL: USING HIGHLY-RESOLVED DATA to MODEL the PAST EVENT and to ESTIMATE the FUTURE HAZARD Widjo Kongko1
    THE JAVA TSUNAMI MODEL: USING HIGHLY-RESOLVED DATA TO MODEL THE PAST EVENT AND TO ESTIMATE THE FUTURE HAZARD Widjo Kongko1 and Torsten Schlurmann2 This study is to validate the tsunami model with extensive field observation data gathered from the 2006 Java tsunami. In the relevant study area, where highly-resolved geometric data were recently made available and other related post- tsunami field data have been collected, the tsunami maximum run-up onto land and its marigram have been simulated and evaluated. Several plausible tsunami sources are proposed to adequately mimic the 2006 Java tsunami by including the influence of low rigidity material in the accretionary prism as well as its single-multi fault source type’s effect. Since it has a significant role on tsunami excitation, this parameter and other assumptions are then employed to study an estimated set of reasonable maximum magnitude earthquake-tsunami scenario and projected inundation areas for probable future tsunami on the South Java coastline. In a final step tentative technical mitigation measures are proposed and assessed to deal with adequate coastal protection issues by means of soft (greenbelt, etc.) and hard engineering (sand dunes, etc.) approaches. Their effectiveness in terms of reducing inundation area is assessed and general recommendations for coastal planning authorities are dealt with. Keywords: tsunami model, highly resolved data, accretionary prism, single-multi segment faults, and technical mitigation measures INTRODUCTION Past Events in Java Based on historical data, the number of earthquakes in Java’s subduction zone occurred within the time period of 1977-2007 in bounding coordinates depicted in Figure 1 with magnitudes greater than Ms 5.0 and hypocenter shallower than 40 km, is about 420 events.

One of the vulnerable areas to tsunami disaster is the southern coast of Bali Province because it is close to the Bali Megathrust subduction zone. The Sumbawa earthquake on August 19, 1977, was an event that occurred at the subduction zone with a strength of 8.3 Mw then caused a tsunami. Studies of wave characteristics and tsunami coverage areas in Bali are rare. This study was aimed to examine the characteristics of waves and tsunami's coverage areas in the south of Bali Province (Denpasar and Badung). We used 2D numerical modeling for the simulation of tsunami waves that built using COMCOT version 1.7. The travel time from the tsunami’s formed to the coast was ranged between 30–39 minutes. The maximum wave height is 16.73 meters at the Uluwatu observation point, because it is close to the tsunami’s epicenter.

A broad rise or bulge in the downgoing plate, known as an outer swell, commonly develops where the plate bends to dive down into the mantle. Hamblin and Christiansen (2009) Classical paper on outer rise earthquakes Classical paper on outer rise earthquakes Isacks et al. [1968] suggest that the lithospheric plates are bent down under the island arcs along the dipping plane of earthquake foci, and a number of suggestions have been made as to why this should be so. Accordingly we should find an upward flexure or rise along some parts of island arcs similar to that of the Hawaiian arch. Such a flexure is evident in many island arcs (Figure 2), and a maximum amplitude of about 700 meters is similar to that of the Hawaiian structure.
