Greek seismologist warns of further danger after Indonesian tsunami
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
"Given the complexity of the closed sea and the high population density on the coast, the impact can be large-scale," said Professor Efthimios Lekkas, president of the Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization, referring to the tsunami that hit Indonesia.
In a statement, he explained that "the complexity of the phenomenon and the new forms of risk pose a complex framework of risk and disaster that requires immediate scientific response and research at a global level."
There are fears that intense geodynamic processes in the area could trigger huge underwater landslides resulting in the generation of tsunamis with a wave height of tens of meters, he added.
