Review on tsunami research and risk mitigation: from prediction models to resilient coastal communities

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Tsunami science is moving from standalone physics simulations to integrated forecasting and risk-governance frameworks. This review synthesizes advances in multi-source observations, signal detection, propagation and inundation modeling, physics–AI hybrid prediction, and real-time warning workflows. It further discusses uncertainty communication, decision support, and pathways for linking forecast systems with resilient coastal planning and community preparedness.
