Indonesia is an archipelago located at the meeting point of 3 tectonic plates which constantly collide over time, the energy due to the collision will accumulate and be able to cause large earthquakes that can generate tsunamis. The island of Java is in the subduction zone of these plates, which causes the southern part of Java to have a high earth...

... modeling begins with the pre-processing where a grid is made with a resolution of 250 meters, based on the bathymetry and topography data. The initial condition of the tsunami is created using the tsunami toolbox on the DelftDashboard by inputting earthquake parameter data that consist of earthquake magnitude, location, depth, strike, dip, and slip parameter as seen in Table 1. The result of the model, consisting of the arrival time, tsunami wave height, maximum inundation, and run-up elevation will be analyzed and the most crucial result in this research will be discussed. ...

The island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, is located in a complex and tectonically active region, and has experienced tsunamis in the past. One of the major earthquake and tsunami events was the 23 February 1969 event that struck the Majene region in western Sulawesi Island. Interpretation of the historical accounts revealed that the Mw 7.0 earthquake gen...

... The maximum tsunami height generated by the 8.9 Mw earthquake scenario is 16.5 meters on the Kukup Shoreline. The results of the tsunami inundation model in the coastal area are similar to previous studies conducted in the southern coastal areas of Java Island as high as 12-16 meters (Horspool et al., 2014); Cilacap, Central Java as high as 10-15 meters (Gayer, Leschka, Nöhren, Larsen, & Günther, 2010); Pandeglang, West Java as high as 15 meters (Lestari, Fitriasari, Ahmad, Rais, & Azhari, 2021); Blitar and Malang, East Java as high as 17.5 meters (Armono, Putra, & Wahyudi, 2021). ...
