“…The disaster that occurred in 1992 was destructive. Progress in tsunami research is that there has been a decrease in the number of victims affected [15]. However, the tsunami warning system has not been able to reduce the number of victims affected by the tsunami.…”

This study aimed to analyze seismic data, which is then made into an infographic to map the level of tsunami hazard in the Sikka District. The research was carried out in Sikka District, East Nusa Tenggara, located between 121°55'40''-122°41'30'' east longitude and 08°22'-08°50' south latitude. The data source comes from the IRIS Earthquake Browser, and the analysis stage was carried out in two phases. The first analysis used seismic data analysis, and EQ Energy used IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) data. Meanwhile, the second analysis maps the tsunami risk by determining the tsunami hazard in areas with the potential for a tsunami. Based on the analysis of seismicity data showed that Sikka District has the potential for an earthquake accompanied by a tsunami. In contrast, the results of the EQ Energy analysis caused by the December 14, 2021 earthquake were known as the value of Ehf = 6.46 × 1014 J and EBB = 5.48 × 1015 J. The analysis of the level of tsunami susceptibility based on the tsunami run-up height in Sikka District showed that the northern coastal area of Flores had various potentials, where the highest vulnerability level was in the Alok subdistrict and parts of Talibura. Meanwhile, the area with the lowest potential was the Kewapante subdistrict.

Twenty-three papers are included in this PAGEOPH topical issue ''Sixty Years of Modern Tsunami Science, Volume I: Lessons and Progress''. The papers are grouped into four categories: historical tsunami events, studies on tsunami source models and case studies, tsunami hydrodynamics, and probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment and forecasting. Papers that reflect the current state of tsunami science and research are briefly introduced.

We present an overview of tsunami occurrences based on an analysis of a global database of tsunamis for the period 1900–2020. We evaluate the geographic and statistical distribution of various tsunami source mechanisms, high-fatality tsunamis, maximum water heights (MWHs) of tsunamis, and possible biases in the observation and recording of tsunami events. We enhance a global statistical overview with case studies from Indonesia, where tsunamis are generated from a diverse range of sources, including subduction zones, crustal faults, landslides, and volcanic islands. While 80% of global recorded tsunamis during 1900–2020 have been attributed to earthquake sources, the median MWH of earthquake tsunamis is just 0.4 m. In contrast, the median water height of landslide tsunamis is 4 m. Landslides have caused or contributed to 24% of fatal tsunamis. During 1900–2020, more tsunamis with water heights > 1 m occurred in Indonesia than in any other country. In this region fatal tsunamis are caused by subduction zone earthquakes, landslides, volcanos, and intraplate crustal earthquakes. Landslide and volcano tsunami sources, as well as coastal landforms such as narrow embayments have caused high local maximum water heights and numerous fatalities in Indonesia. Tsunami hazards are increased in this region due to the densely populated and extensive coastal zones, as well as sea level rise from polar ice melt and local subsidence. Interrelated and often extreme natural hazards in this region present both an opportunity and a need to better understand a broader range of tsunami processes.
