Disaster Control Research Center composing two
laboratoroes of earthquake and tsunami engineerings
was established in June, 1990. The tsunami engineering division
is only one in the world, which studies tsunamis from the
engineering point of view. In addition to field survey and
analysis of documents in order to reveal tsunamis in the nearshore
zone and related disasters, major effort has been made to develop a
numerical simulation technique and to apply it to the control of
tsunami disasters, highly-accurate quantitative tsunami warning,
development of disaster-free at water-front and so on.
The numerical model is transfered through TIME project supported by IOC and IUGG.
