Stochastic tsunami modeling induced by kinematic complex sources

In this study, local tsunami hazard due to seismic sources is evaluated in a stochastic framework. Several assumptions such as static passive generation, constant rake angle and source centroid (among others) are relaxed. Spatial uncertainties are modeled in a large set of scenarios. The proposed methodology is easy to implement and can be combined with other types of sources or hazards. Application in the Kuril-Kamchatkah trench shows a straightforward use of our methodology, producing simple hazard maps, which can be replicated in any region of the world.
