Short summary
Short summary
We developed a system able to to predict, knowing the appropriate characteristics of the flood defense structure and sea state, the return periods of potentially dangerous events as well as a ranking of parameters by order of uncertainty.
The model is a combination of statistical and empirical methods that have been applied to a Mediterranean earthen dike. This shows that the most important characteristics of the dyke are its geometrical features, such as its height and slope angles.

The tsunami which could be generated by a potential flank collapse of the Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma, Canary Islands, is evaluated through a numerical simulation based on an advanced and finely calibrated model. Then the consequences of such an event for Europe, France and Guadeloupe island are investigated using different numerical models for propagation. The impacts vary from negligible to very significant depending on the location considered.

Short summary
The 2017 Landslide-made tsunami in Greenland occurred in a context of global warming and heavily impacted local communities. We analyze this event using seismic data to reconstruct the whole chain of processes from the landslide to the tsunami. Our results validate a new approach to analyze crustal deformations caused by tsunami propagation in fjords, suggesting that alert systems based on seismic data are feasible, potentially allowing to reduce tsunami risks in polar regions.

Deployed in 2022, SWOT satellite was flying over the southwest Pacific region on 19 May 2023 when it recorded the tsunami triggered by a Mw 7.7 earthquake in the Vanuatu Subduction Zone. For the first time ever it provided a 2D image of a tsunami wavefield on a straight SSW-NNE path. Further compared with tsunami numerical simulation outputs, the modelled wavefield and SWOT record show an overall good phase agreement, but simulated amplitudes and energy spectra are lower than the measurements.

Short summary
The Mw 7 Haiti earthquake in 2010 was accompanied by local tsunamis that caused fatalities and damage to coastal infrastructure. Earthquakes alone could not explain all observations in Hispaniola Island. We suspected that a big submarine landslide occured and generated the 3 m high waves observed near Jacmel and Pedernales. We identify a landslide scar 30 km from the epicenter and at a depth of 3500 m and we simulate the corresponding tsunami which gives results very close to observations.
