Editorial: From Tsunami Science to Hazard and Risk Assessment: Methods and Models

Abstract

In this Research Topic, we aimed to contribute to the ongoing scientific progress and the process of assessing and providing community-based standards, good practices, benchmarking tools and guidelines, based on the most recent observations and scientific findings. This purpose is in line with several community-based efforts like those of the “GTM—Global Tsunami Model” and “AGITHAR—Accelerating Global science In Tsunami Hazard and Risk analysis” scientific networks. We aimed to help better address the link between tsunami science and the Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis. This Topic includes numerous Original Research papers, one Brief Research Report and one Review. Overall, we gathered 20 articles contributed by more than 200 authors. We consider this a strong indication from the research community.
