New hotspot forecasts show that great earthquakes are likely to occur during the next decade in the Western Pacific north of New Zealand which potentially poses a tsunami risk to Australia. The project will enable this risk to be reliably assessed thereby providing the information needed to properly manage this risk thus addressing the national research priority: Safeguarding Australia. Building on extensive geo-data and Australia's forefront position in solid earth simulation via investment in the ACcESS Major National Research Facility, the project provides an opportunity for Australia to play a key role in constructing next generation real-time tsunami warning systems.

新的热点预测显示，未来十年内，新西兰以北的西太平洋地区可能会发生大地震，这可能对澳大利亚构成海啸风险。该项目将使这种风险得到可靠的评估，从而提供适当管理这种风险所需的信息，从而解决国家研究重点：保护澳大利亚。该项目以广泛的地理数据和澳大利亚通过投资ACcESS主要国家研究设施在固体地球模拟方面的前沿地位为基础，为澳大利亚在建设下一代实时海啸预警系统方面发挥关键作用提供了机会。
