UNTIeD

The project "UNTIeD - UNlocking the megaTsunamI Deadlock: using the near-source impacts to constrain tsunami generation by volcanic flank collapses" aims to study with unprecedented detail the proximal impacts of one of the largest landslide tsunamis known from the geological record: the ~73 ka Fogo tsunami (Cape Verde).

The idea is to use a combined onshore/offshore approach to reconstruct proximal tsunami inundation and thus constrain the near-source magnitude and physical characteristics of the tsunami.

Performed activities:

• Technical visit to assess local vessels to be used in hydrographic surveys;
• Survey with high resolution multibeam probe, covering the area of the internal platform of the island of Santiago (task interrupted by the pandemic COVID 19);
• Processing of acquired data.
