Project Title:	Tsunami modeling and inundation studies for the east and west coast of India due to earthquakes in Sumatra and Makran subduction zones.
Project Number:	GAP 550-28(KS)
Project Leader:	Dr. Kirti Srivastava
Co-Project Leader:	Dr. V.P. Dimri
Duration:	July 2009 to June 2012

Objectives:

 

• Quantifying the tsunamigenic earthquake source parameters along the Makran subduction zones.

   

• Tsunami propagation due to these earthquakes and quantifying the arrival times at different gauge locations at major cities and ports along the west coast of India.

   

• Quantifying the inundation distance along west coast of India with special emphasis on major cities and ports along the coasts.
