The 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH) and the tsunami it generated was a graphic reminder of the power of volcanic tsunamis. While the volcanic meteotsunami (measured around the globe) was the most far-reaching, the near-field tsunami caused runup exceeding ten metres on several islands in the Tongan archipelago. This near-field tsunami was undoubtedly driven by multiple volcanic tsunami mechanisms including submarine explosive eruptive bursts, pyroclastic density currents (PD...
