Ocean swimming... and tsunamis

What is the likelihood of a tsunami hitting your favourite beach? Dr. Hannah Power (newcastle.edu.au/profile/hannah-power) , from University of Newcastle's School of Environmental and Life Sciences (newcastle.edu.au/about-uon/governance-and-leadership/faculties-and-schools/faculty-of-science-and-information-technology/school-of-environmental-and-life-sciences) , conducts research on ocean waves, and recently published on the likelihood and consequences of a tsunami hitting Sydney Harbour (theconversation.com/yes-a-tsunami-could-hit-sydney-causing-flooding-and-dangerous-currents-103348) . She has also developed the risk forecast for the Figure Eight Pool (nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/lookouts/figure-eight-pools) in Sydney's Royal National Park. This forecast examines the likelihood of being struck by large waves on your journey across the rock shelf.
