By using probabilistic calculations, Jorge highlights how advanced science can predict extreme events with impressive accuracy. However, he emphasizes that these advancements are not enough without public awareness and collaboration. The effectiveness of tsunami prevention and response relies not only on technological breakthroughs but also on society’s preparedness and ability to act swiftly in the face of warnings.
In his latest TED Talk, Jorge Macías, DT-GEO Researcher at the University of Málaga and member of the EDANYA research group, explains how mathematical models play a crucial role in saving lives when it comes to catastrophic events like tsunamis.
