At this international workshop earthquake and tsunami experts will present new research on the origins and the disastrous consequences of mega earthquakes and tsunami in subduction zones around the world. It will also examine how new methods of predicting such mega events and the associated risk assessment can be established.
Another subject area is communicating risks within communities. The island of Rhodes has been plagued by repeated earthquakes, and it is the tsunami test site for the European research project "Transfer" and a testing area for the current European research program on disaster readiness "Neartowarn".
