Abstract

The Mediterranean Sea is a region characterized by high seismic activity, with at least 200 tsunami events recorded from the fourth century to the present twenty-first century. Numerous studies have been conducted to understand past tsunami events, earthquake–tsunami generation, tsunami recurrence periods, tsunami vulnerability zones, and tsunami hazard mitigation strategies. Therefore, gaining insights into future trends and opportunities in Mediterranean Sea tsunami research is crucial for significantly contributing to all relevant aspects. This study aims to assess such trends and opportunities through a scientometric analysis of publications indexed by Web of Science from 2000 to 2023. Based on a selection of 329 publications, including research articles, review articles, book chapters, and conference papers, published between 2000 and 2023, Italy has the highest number of publications and citations in this field. The number of publications has increased significantly, especially after the 2004 Indian Ocean, 2011 Tohoku, and 2018 Palu tsunamis. According to the keyword analysis, the terms “tsunami”, “earthquake”, “hazard”, “wave”, “Mediterranean”, “coast”, and “tectonic” were the most frequently used in these publications. Research themes consist of four classifications: motor themes, such as seismic hazard; specific but well-developed themes, like tsunamiite; emerging or disappearing themes, for example, climate change; and general or basic themes, such as equations and megaturbidite. The number of publications related to the motor theme classification continued to grow throughout 2000–2023. Topics from 2011–2023 are more complex compared to 2000–2010, characterized by the emergence of new keywords such as evacuation planning, risk reduction, risk mitigation, building vulnerability, coastal vulnerability, climate change, probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTVA-3 and PTVA-4). However, topics that were popular in the 2000–2010 period (e.g., paleotsunami deposits, earthquake, and tsunami propagation analysis) also increased in 2011–2023. Research topics with high centrality and density such as seismic hazard will continue to develop and prospect. The cluster network of this topic includes seismoturbidites, sedimentary features, tsunami modeling, active faults, catalog, and historical earthquakes.

探索地中海海啸研究的前景:科学计量学的见解和未来展望
地中海是一个地震活动频繁的地区,从四世纪到现在的二十一世纪,至少记录了 200 次海啸事件。为了了解过去的海啸事件、地震-海啸的产生、海啸重现期、海啸易发区和海啸危害缓解战略,已经开展了大量研究。因此,深入了解地中海海啸研究的未来趋势和机遇,对于在所有相关方面做出重大贡献至关重要。本研究旨在通过对 2000 年至 2023 年被 Web of Science 索引的出版物进行科学计量分析,评估这些趋势和机遇。根据对 2000 年至 2023 年间发表的 329 篇出版物(包括研究文章、评论文章、书籍章节和会议论文)的筛选,意大利在该领域的出版物和引用次数均居首位。尤其是在 2004 年印度洋海啸、2011 年东北海啸和 2018 年帕卢海啸之后,出版物数量大幅增加。根据关键词分析,"海啸"、"地震"、"灾害"、"波浪"、"地中海"、"海岸 "和 "构造 "是这些出版物中使用频率最高的术语。研究主题分为四类:运动主题,如地震灾害;具体但发展成熟的主题,如海啸岩;新 兴或正在消失的主题,如气候变化;一般或基本主题,如方程和特大扰动岩。在 2000-2023 年期间,与发动机主题分类有关的出版物数量持续增长。与 2000-2010 年相比,2011-2023 年的主题更加复杂,其特点是出现了新的关键词,如疏散规划、降低风险、减轻风险、建筑脆弱性、沿海脆弱性、气候变化、海啸灾害概率评估(PTVA-3 和 PTVA-4)。然而,2000-2010 年期间流行的主题(如古海啸沉积、地震和海啸传播分析)在 2011-2023 年期间也有所增加。地震灾害等高中心性和高密度的研究课题将继续发展和展望。该专题的集群网络包括地震扰动岩、沉积特征、海啸建模、活动断层、目录和历史地震。

期刊介绍: Geoenvironmental Disasters is an international journal with a focus on multi-disciplinary applied and fundamental research and the effects and impacts on infrastructure, society and the environment of geoenvironmental disasters triggered by various types of geo-hazards (e.g. earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, tsunamis, intensive erosion and hydro-meteorological events). The integrated study of Geoenvironmental Disasters is an emerging and composite field of research interfacing with areas traditionally within civil engineering, earth sciences, atmospheric sciences and the life sciences. It centers on the interactions within and between the Earth''s ground, air and water environments, all of which are affected by climate, geological, morphological and anthropological processes; and biological and ecological cycles. Disasters are dynamic forces which can change the Earth pervasively, rapidly, or abruptly, and which can generate lasting effects on the natural and built environments. The journal publishes research papers, case studies and quick reports of recent geoenvironmental disasters, review papers and technical reports of various geoenvironmental disaster-related case studies. The focus on case studies and quick reports of recent geoenvironmental disasters helps to advance the practical understanding of geoenvironmental disasters and to inform future research priorities; they are a major component of the journal. The journal aims for the rapid publication of research papers at a high scientific level. The journal welcomes proposals for special issues reflecting the trends in geoenvironmental disaster reduction and monothematic issues. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to submit original, unpublished contributions.
