Abstract

Abstract This chapter presents source selection methods for tsunami hazard analysis. Four types of sources are considered, earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, and atmospheric sources, each outlined in different sections. The descriptions and methods are mainly based on published literature. The presented procedures describe the selection of locations, sizes, parameters and probabilities of the sources, and are divided into three different steps. Step 1 consists of the selection of the potential source areas and the selection of the types of sources that may impact the selected target areas, Step 2 the source parameterisation, and Step 3 the representation of the source ensemble and its probabilities.
