The sensitivity of tsunami models and tsunami energy to geologically constrained fault sources and shallow bathymetry by Felix, Raquel Picar

“…This work also highlights the need to provide in-depth details regarding the bathymetry used in the modeling (e.g., data source, data point distribution, interpolation method) as these are as important as detailing the tsunami source setup, and are critical for other researchers to assess the quality of the results of the numerical modeling. Finally, I applied what I learned from addressing the two previous topics to assess the tsunami hazard in Bali and Lombok due to the Flores back-arc thrust. …”
