9601241 Liu This is a 24 month award proposed by Dr. Philip Liu, Cornell University and Professor Ming-Kuang Hsu, Taiwan National Ocean University. It requests funds for participation by a graduate student and for travel to Taiwan. The primary objective of this project is to produce a tsunami inundation map for the entire Taiwan coastline. The tasks include validation of the numerical model and use of the numerical model to predict the effect of tsunami inundation along the Taiwan coastline. An educational videotape will be produced to illustrate the generation, propagation, and the coastal effect of tsunami. Tsunami are among the most disastrous natural calamities on the shore of the Pacific. Recent and older observations have demonstrated the suddenness of tsunami occurrence along the Taiwan coast. This is a very practical and important project, which not only can validate the P.I.'s tsunami inundation model, but also provide a tool for future land use planning and for reducing potential damage from these natural hazards. Furthermore, this project provides an excellent opportunity for a graduate student to have a hands-on experience to carry out a project in an environment significantly different from the U.S. The project is jointly supported by the Taiwan National Science Council and the NSF.

9601241刘这是康奈尔大学的刘菲利普博士和台湾国立海洋大学徐明光教授提出的一项为期24个月的奖项。它要求为一名研究生的参与和赴台旅行提供资金。这个项目的主要目标是制作整个台湾海岸线的海啸淹没地图。这些任务包括验证数值模型，并使用数值模型来预测台湾海岸线海啸淹没的影响。将制作一盘教育录像带，说明海啸的产生、传播和沿海影响。海啸是太平洋沿岸最灾难性的自然灾害之一。最近和以前的观测都证明了台湾沿海发生海啸的突然性。这是一个非常实用和重要的项目，它不仅可以验证P.I.S海啸淹没模型，还可以为未来的土地利用规划和减少这些自然灾害的潜在损害提供工具。此外，这个项目为研究生提供了一个极好的机会，让他们体验在与美国截然不同的环境中开展项目。该项目由台湾国家科学委员会和美国国家科学基金会共同支持。
