In a statement, he explained that "the complexity of the phenomenon and the new forms of risk pose a complex framework of risk and disaster that requires immediate scientific response and research at a global level."
There are fears that the intense geodynamic processes in the area can trigger huge underwater landslides resulting in the generation of tsunami with a wave height of tens of meters, he added.
