INFLUENCE OF TIDAL LEVEL ON TSUNAMI HAZARD ASSESSMENT ALONG THE COAST OF PEARL RIVER ESTUARY

Nearshore tsunami hazard can be greatly affected by the tidal level. When large tsunami waves occur at the moment of high tidal level, people would face greater risks. It is necessary to quantify the probability of the peak nearshore tsunami elevation (PNTE) considering the randomness of event occurrence time and the variation of tidal level. The objective of our study is to quantify the probability of the peak nearshore tsunami elevation (PNTE) around Pearl River Estuary posed by the earthquakes along Manila Trench.
