The main objectives of the workshop are:
- Bringing together Applied Mathematicians, Geophysicists, and scientists from other disciplines together with public agencies decision-makers in order to discuss the current state of development of the models used in Tsunamis Early Warning Systems (TEWS), to analyze their deficiencies and detect challenges to overcome.
- Promoting international and interdisciplinary collaboration in this area.
- Strengthening the research in Spain in the development of this kind of numerical tools, and trying to interest students in Mathematics and Engineering to this exciting line of research as an investment in the future.
- Performing outreach activities addressed to the general public, in order to convey the message of the importance of developing effective early warning systems for natural disasters and the key role that mathematical tools play in it.
