For this reason, most of the tsunami forecasting systems rely on pre-computed databases, which can forecast tsunamis rapidly by selecting the most closely matched scenario from the databases. However, earthquakes not included in the database can occur, and the resulting error in the tsunami forecast may be large for these earthquakes. In this study, we present a new method that can forecast near-field tsunami run-up estimates for any combination of earthquake fault parameters on a real topography in near real-time, hereafter called the Tsunami Run-up Response Function (TRRF).<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/tw1D29dDxmY">https://youtu.be/tw1D29dDxmY</a></b></html> ER -
