1 | This report has described the impact to Onslow from a tsunami |
---|
2 | generated by a Mw 9 earthquake on the Sunda Arc subduction zone |
---|
3 | occurring at Mean Sea Level. |
---|
4 | There is no knowledge of the return period for this event. The |
---|
5 | modelling methodology, assumptions and data sources have also |
---|
6 | been described. |
---|
7 | As discussed in Section \ref{sec:issues}, there are issues |
---|
8 | with the underlying data set which may have vertical inaccuracies |
---|
9 | of approximately 1-2m. As a result, these results should be considered |
---|
10 | preliminary. |
---|
11 | These scenarios will be revisited once the probabilistic models |
---|
12 | are complete so that a suite of tsunami impact assessments can be made. |
---|
13 | It is therefore imperative that suitably accurate onshore data |
---|
14 | be made available to raise confidence in the impact assessments. |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | Future activities to support the impact studies on the North West Shelf |
---|
17 | include: |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
20 | \item Sourcing of data sets |
---|
21 | \item Investigation of solution sensitivity to cell resolution, |
---|
22 | bathymetry and tsunami source uncertainties |
---|
23 | \item Location of boundary for simulation study area |
---|
24 | \item Investigation of friction coefficients |
---|
25 | \end{itemize} |
