U.S.-Taiwan Cooperative Research: Tsunami Runup Heights Along Taiwan Coastline

小行星9601241 这是一个为期24个月的奖项，由康奈尔大学的Philip Liu博士和台湾国立海洋大学的Ming-Kuang Hsu教授提议。 它要求为一名研究生参加会议和前往台湾提供经费。 本计画的主要目的是制作台湾海岸线海啸淹没图。 本研究之工作包括验证数值模式及利用数值模式预测海啸淹没沿着台湾海岸线之影响。 将制作一盘教育录像带，说明海啸的产生、传播和沿海影响。海啸是太平洋海岸最具破坏性的自然灾害之一。 近年来及过去的观测资料都显示台湾沿海沿着海啸发生的突然性。 这是一个很有实际意义的项目，不仅可以验证P.I.的海啸淹没模型，而且还为未来的土地使用规划和减少这些自然灾害的潜在破坏提供了一个工具。 此外，这个项目提供了一个很好的机会，研究生有一个动手的经验，在一个环境中进行一个项目显着不同于美国的该项目是由台湾国家科学理事会和美国国家科学基金会共同支持。

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.
