and prediction system to respond to offshore accidents tsunamis and other natural disasters. The new mart Oceans BCPROGRAM will use marine sensors

and water quality in major shipping arteries and will include a system to predict the impact of offshore earthquakes tsunamis storm surge and underwater landslides.

and tsunamis with a goal of predicting their behaviour and potential impact on coastal areas.

#Improved tsunami alert system through international partnerships Tsunamis are not very frequent events, but they can have a terrible impact on human life and on the economy of a country.

which detects tsunamis as early as possible and allows emergency agencies to improve their responses.

and to determine the size of the tsunami waves that they are likely to produce

#Drop an internet in the ocean to detect tsunamis University at Buffalo rightoriginal Studyposted by Cory Nealon-Buffalo on October 14 2013a deep-sea internet network is expected to improve the way scientists detect tsunamis monitor pollution

and the projectâ#lead researcher. aking this information available to anyone with a smartphone or computer especially when a tsunami or other type of disaster occurs could help save lives. elodia will present his paper at the Association for Computing Machineryâ

For example NOAA relies on acoustic waves to send data from tsunami sensors on the sea floor to surface buoys.

A deep-sea internet has many applications Melodia says including linking together buoy networks that detect tsunamis.

as if a tsunami coming, said Lee Sung-hee, the South korean Alzheimer Association president, who trains nursing home staff members,

-and landslide-triggered tsunamis in Alpine lakes. In the past decade researchers have discovered that tsunamis wiped out villages along the shores of both Lake Geneva and Lake Lucerne in the past 1, 500 years.

But instead of ancient quake or tsunami deposits, Reusch and her colleagues stumbled upon an enormous feature they dubbed Chez-le-Bart crater (razy crater. never expected anything like this,

Reusch said. he craters were so interesting that we simply had to take a closer look at this phenomenon,

When an earthquake and tsunami struck Japan Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, knocking out emergency power supplies,

and the Japan Meteorological Agency put out a tsunami advisory for several coastal regions asking people to leave the coast immediately.

However by 4: 05 a m. local time (3: 05 p m. Eastern time in the U s.)the agency cancelled the tsunami warning as the first waves driven by the quake didn't go over the 3-foot mark.

In March 2011 the M9 0 earthquake that struck about 59 miles north of this event#displaced huge amounts of ocean water as the Pacific tectonic plate slipped under the Okhotsk#plate#triggering#a massive tsunami that killed thousands and knocked out

The Packbot was also the first remote controlled robot to enter the Fukushima nuclear facility after the East Japan Earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.

Waves can be produced to mimic anything from rough waters to tsunamis. By generating choppy waters, enormous waves and the like, scientists hope to better test standards for dykes, dunes,

"After the 2004 (Indian ocean) tsunami, it became evident-particularly in Sri lanka which was impacted severely-that those villages that had suffered intact mangroves significantly less damage than those that did not.

A report by the International union for conservation of nature (IUCN) published 12 months after the devastating tsunami compared two coastal villages in Sri lanka that were hit by the wall of water.

which an operator sends a large fleet of machines into a specific area of a tsunami-ravaged region.
