International Travel Grant: 1996 Tsunami Workshop in Kamchatka

9632352这一行动是为了支持美国参加将于1996年8月在俄罗斯堪察加的彼得罗巴甫洛夫斯克-堪察斯基举行的减轻海啸和风险评估国际研讨会。这次研讨会是由俄罗斯科学院计算技术研究所在俄罗斯新西伯利亚举办的。研讨会的主题是“海啸长期预测问题的最新进展(海啸风险评估)”，将讨论以下议题：(1)古海啸研究，(2)历史目录和数据库，(3)海啸的地震构造，(4)海啸行为的数值模型，(5)海啸风险计算方法，以及(6)缓解和应对措施。研讨会的形式将是圆桌讨论，就每个特定专题作40分钟的应邀发言。这次讲习班是1995年期间在美国举办的三个主要海啸讲习班的后续活动：5月21日至23日，华盛顿州西雅图的海啸沉积讲习班；6月28日至30日，科罗拉多州埃斯特斯公园的海啸测量讲习班；9月12日至16日，华盛顿州港湾的第二个长波助推模型国际讲习班。为了尽可能有效地利用有限的资金，PI将通过互联网电子邮件系统与无法参加研讨会的美国海啸科学家和工程师建立密切联系。海啸研究人员和从业人员已经通过位于西雅图的NOAA(国家大气和海洋局)太平洋海洋和环境实验室(PMEL)赞助的海啸互联网邮件列表保持密切联系。美国科学家和工程师积极参加在堪察加举行的这次研讨会，将对海啸减灾的持续努力做出重大贡献，并确保这一重要减灾领域的持续活动和势头。***

9632352 Yeh This action is to support U.S. participation in the International Workshop on Tsunami Mitigation and Risk Assessment, to be held in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia, August 1996. This workshop is organized by the Institute of Computational Technologies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia. The workshop theme is "the state-of-the-art of the problem of long-term tsunami prognosis (estimation of tsunami risk)", and the following topics will be discussed: (1) paleo-tsunami research, (2) historical catalogs and data bases, (3) seismo-tectonics of tsunami, (4) numerical models of tsunami behavior, (5) methods of tsunami-risk calculations, and (6) mitigation and counter-measures The format of the workshop will be round-table discussions with 40-minute invited presentations on each particular topic. This workshop is a follow-on to three major workshops on tsunamis held in the United States during 1995: Tsunami Deposit Workshop, Seattle, Washington, 21-23 May, and the two NSF-supported workshops, Tsunami Measurement Workshop, Estes Park, Colorado, 28- 30 June, and Second International Workshop on Long-Wave Runup Models, Friday Harbor, Washington, 12-16 September. In order to use the limited funds as effectively as possible, the PI will establish close communication, via the Internet e-mail system, with the US tsunami scientists and engineers who are unable to attend the workshop. Tsunami researchers and practitioners are already in close communication via the Tsunami Internet mailing list sponsored by the NOAA (National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration) Pacific Marine and Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in Seattle. Active participation of US scientists and engineers in this workshop in Kamchatka will contribute significantly to the continued efforts toward tsunami disaster mitigation, and assure the continued activity and momentum in this important area of disaster mitigation. ***
