Abstract
The South China Sea region is potentially threatened by tsunami hazards originated from multiple sources: the Manila subduction zone in the east, the Littoral Fault Zone (LFZ) in the north, numerous submarine landslides on the continental slopes and the volcanic islands in the Luzon Strait. Infrequent but potentially devastating tsunami hazard poses a great threat to the populous coastal region, fishery, oil and gas exploitation in the deep sea, etc. Here we review the recent progress in tsunami hazard assessment in the South China Sea region, focusing on two primary sources: submarine earthquakes and landslides. We sort and review the literature by the two commonly used approaches: deterministic and probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment for both source types. By simulating tsunamis generated by typical earthquakes originated from the Manila Trench, the LFZ and landslides in the continental slopes, we investigate their tsunamigenic mechanism and key tsunami characteristics in the South China Sea region. We point out the research gaps and highlight the key issues to be addressed in the future.
