9711063刘这项行动是为了给6名美国研究人员提供旅费，让他们参加将于1998年7月12日至16日在日本函馆和大岛举行的‘98大岛海啸研讨会。研讨会由日本东北大学的Fumihiko Iamamura博士组织。这是第三次聚焦于海啸对海岸线的影响的国际研讨会。第一次研讨会于1990年在加利福尼亚州的卡特琳娜岛举行，第二次研讨会于1995年在华盛顿州的星期五哈博尔举行，两次研讨会都得到了国家科学基金会的完全支持。Okushiri海啸研讨会也是纪念1993年毁灭性的北海道海啸五周年。将讨论的主要议题包括：(1)岛屿周围的海啸；(2)山体滑坡和构造运动引发的海啸；(3)地方海啸；(4)灾害预防和重建。PI将通过互联网电子邮件与无法参加研讨会的美国海啸研究人员建立密切联系。***

9711063 Liu This action is to provide travel funds for six US researchers to attend the Okushiri Tsunami Workshop '98, to be held in Hakodate and Okushiri, Japan, 12-16 July 1998. The workshop is being organized by Dr. Fumihiko Iamamura of Tohoku University, Japan. This is the third international workshop focusing on the runup of a tsunami onto a coastline. The first workshop was held at Catalina Island, CA in 1990, the second at Friday Habor, WA in 1995, both being supported entirely the National Science Foundation. The Okushiri tsunami workshop also marks the fifth anniversary of the 1993 devastating Hokkaido tsunami. Major topics to be discussed are: (1) Runup of a tsunami around an island, (2) Tsunami generation by landslides and tectonic movements, (3) Local tsunami runup, and (4) Disaster prevention and reconstruction. The PI will establish close communication, via Internet electronic mail, with US tsunami researchers who are unable to attend the workshop. ***
