Time-dependent Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Analysis for Western Sumatra, Indonesia, Using Space-Time Earthquake Rupture Modelling and Stochastic Source Scenarios
Abstract:Abstract. We develop a novel framework of time-dependent probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) and apply it to Western Sumatra, Indonesia, where future tsunamigenic events are anticipated in the Mentawai region of the Sunda subduction zone. An earthquake rupture model taking into account the spatiotemporal interaction of major megathrust segments is used to simulate future tsunamigenic earthquakes. The earthquake rupture process of the segments is characterized by a multivariate Bernoulli model with int… Show more
