This SGER proposes a quantitative survey of the run-up and inundation of the 2004 Sumatra tsunami on the Western shores of the Indian Ocean, specifically in Madagascar and Oman. This work is necessary to complement the work of various international tsunami teams around the Bay of Bengal, in Somalia and on the islands of Reunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues. It is imperative that the work be carried out in the Summer of 2005, before climatic conditions wash away some of the watermarks, and while memories of the event are still fresh. In terms of broader impact, by involving local scientists and students, this project will have an important educational component in the host countries, and will contribute to raising the awareness of their populations to tsunami hazard in this part of the world.

本SGER建议对2004年苏门答腊海啸在印度洋西海岸，特别是在马达加斯加和阿曼的上升和淹没进行定量调查。这项工作是对孟加拉湾周围、索马里以及留尼汪岛、毛里求斯岛和罗德里格斯岛上各国际海啸小组工作的必要补充。这项工作必须在2005年夏季进行，以免气候条件冲掉一些水印，同时对这一事件记忆犹新。就更广泛的影响而言，通过让当地科学家和学生参与，这一项目将在东道国发挥重要的教育作用，并将有助于提高东道国人民对世界这一地区海啸危害的认识。
