PTHA Tutorial

These notebooks were developed for a workshop on Communicating Hazard and Risk through Maps and Data Visualization for the UW M9 Project.

They illustrate some basic ideas of probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTHA) based on a reduced set of data from a recent study of methodologies that focused on Crescent City, CA as the target community.

These notebooks and the data files they use can be found in the GitHub repository https://github.com/rjleveque/ptha_tutorial.
