Visualization of the modelled coupled earthquake and tsunami across Palu Bay, from Ulrich et al., 2019: Left: Seismic waves being generated while the earthquake propagates southward in a ‘superfast’ manner. Warm colours denote higher movements across the geological faults and higher ground shaking (snapshot after 15 seconds of earthquake simulation time). Right: The movements of the earthquake beneath the bathtub shaped Palu Bay generate a ‘surprise’ tsunami (snapshot of the water waves aftee 20s of simulation time of the tsunami scenario).
