Multi-risk assessment and cascade effect analysis in
Cooperation between Indonesia and Germany -
Joint research on tsunamis induced by volcanoes and landslides

Organization
The TSUNAMI_RISK project aims to make contributions
in three different focus areas and five workpackages
Focus area 1: Geoscientific Research
We address the physical processes involved in tsunamis from non-seismic sources, where do they occur, which signals do we expect, and how modelling approaches contribute?
Focus area 2: Social Science Research
We take into account the lessons learned from recent disaster events, and identify appropriate communication lines, translated into concrete, in specific sociocultural contexts, effective, efficient, and sustainable interventions.
Focus area 3: Policy Recommendations and Transfer into Practice
We support the transfer into practice for political decision-makers at all levels and realize "science to practice". By tool development we contribute to improved warning procedures, warning chains and evacuation plans.
Workpackages and Project Management
Five workpackages shall guarantee the distributed and interdisciplinary approach:
WP 1: Management
WP 2: Georesearch and Risk Identification through Remote Sensing and Seismic Monitoring
WP 3: Modelling of Flank Instabilities and Tsunami Generation
WP 4: Social Sciences
WP 5: Transfer.
