Welcome To
ASTARTE Project
Do you fear the loss of life and infrastructure due to tsunamis? Even if we can't control the
natural calamities, we can surely strengthen ourselves!
The main objectives Are :
long term recurrence of tsunamis
Earthquakes in the Atlantic Ocean are not predictable, and so is the threat of tsunamis. We have advanced tools to keep track every time.
tsunami generation mechanisms
We effectively track the root cause of all tsunamis and analyze them well to design resilient models capable of withstanding the impact.
computational tools for hazard assessment
Our risk assessment and impact rate calculations utilize cutting-edge programmed equipment to draw quick and accurate predictions.
understanding of tsunami interactions
Ocean waves interact differently in every tsunami bringing out numerous analytics to compare and assess. We dedicate research to study all.
Our Methodology
ASTARTE consists of 10 work packages (WPs)
1
WP1 is devoted to Project coordination and management

Assessment, STrategy And Risk Reduction for Tsunamis in Europe
The Challenge
Tsunamis are low frequency but high impact natural disasters. In 2004, the Boxing Day tsunami killed hundreds of thousands of people from many nations along the coastlines of the Indian Ocean. Tsunami run-up exceeded 35 m.
The Concept
The on-going set up of the North Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean and connected seas region (NEAM) tsunami warning system (TWS) needs to consider these lessons when developing societal and structural resilience, also considering that, on average, there is one decametric tsunami per century in the region and many more of smaller size.
The Goal
ASTARTE is organized to foster tsunami resilience in Europe, through innovative research on scientific problems critical to enhance forecast skills in terms of sources, propagation and impact. ASTARTE will employ lessons on coastal resilience learned from disaster surveys following tsunamis and hurricane surges.
