Major Themes
For more then two thousend years, the Japanese have recorded
the catastrophic destruction of shorelines, so the TEL in
aware of the tradition, does research in several fields,
including:
- developing with the help of numerical
forecasting early warning system to alert costal
residents
- implementing and maintaining an awarness on the
indications of tsunami danger through databases, computer
graphics and the result of field investigations
- producing tsunami hazard maps to identify areas
suscepible to flooding and inundation
Research tools
Numerical Modeling
Field survey
Physical Experiment
Historical tsunami study
Evacuation Model
Here are some examples of our work:
ANIMATION:Earthquake
generated Tsunami, Alaska
ANIMATION:Earthquake

For further information please check the staff, every
member of the TEL has his/her specific research
