Rachid Omira is currently a Senior Researcher (Investigador Principal) at the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) and integrated researcher at the Faculty of Sciences (IDL-FCUL), Lisbon University. He graduated in physics and holds a PhD in Geophysics. His expertise is in numerical modeling of seismic and non-seismic tsunamis and related coastal risk. He is the first author and co-author of 45 peer-reviewed international scientific publications. He also published 4 book chapters, 12 proceedings, gave 15 invited talks and professional training, and his work was presented in more than 70 conferences. He has also developed number of studies concerning regional assessments of tsunami hazard. His research has led to a major contribution on the understanding of tsunami hazard and vulnerability and served the development of an end-to-end national tsunami warning system, recently implemented at IPMA. He led and participated in several national and international scientific projects and supervised a number of research works. He is editor of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences ISI Journal.

  5. Tsunami hazard induced by a newly discovered landslide in the Tagus delta off Lisbon (Portugal). Deltas are sedimentary bodies with high sedimentation rates that are very sensitive to changes in environmental conditions. The Tagus delta off Lisbon (Portugal) is characterized by the presence of high energy deposit and erosive structures with an estimated age of approximately 8 ky BP. In this work, we investigate, through numerical modelling, the tsunami hazard induced by a newly discovered und. 2019.

The seismic stratigraphy of the Tagus estuary ebb-tidal delta of Lisbon (Portugal) is investigated with the purpose of searching for evidences of possible sedimentary or erosive features associated with landslides or mass wasting deposits (MTD) events. A special attention was given to events that could have been triggered by large earthquakes that are known to have struck the West of Portugal and. 2015.
