International Travel Grant to Visit Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan (Spring of 1991)

这个动作是为叶教授提供去日本的R/T机票。此次访问的目的是：1)在东北大学灾害控制研究中心（特别是该中心的海啸工程系）和美国的海啸研究人员之间建立更密切的研究互动；2)获取难以获得的海啸（地震海浪）现场数据和历史数据，这些数据可以确定研究需求，以解决美国沿海地区潜在的海啸威胁；3)促进叶教授与日本研究人员在海啸方面的信息交流，4)与世界著名海啸工程研究人员Shuto Nobuo教授讨论可能的研究合作。6)参观过去遭受海啸冲击和破坏的沿海地区。

This action is to provide R/T airfare to Japan for Professor Yeh. The purpose of this visit is 1) to establish closer research interactions between the Disaster Control Research Center at Tohoku University (and especially the Tsunami Engineering Department within this Center) and tsunami researchers in the United States, 2) acquire hard-to- obtain field data and historical data on tsunamis (seismic sea waves) which could identify research needs to address the potential tsunami threat to coastal areas in the U.S., 3) to facilitate the interchange of information on tsunamis between Professor Yeh and researchers in Japan, 4) to discuss with Professor Nobuo Shuto (a world renowned tsunami engineering researcher) possible research cooperation, and 6) to visit coastal sites subjected to past tsunami runup and damage.
