A Workshop to Develop a Strategic Plan for Tsunami Research in the US

摘要该奖项为2006年7月25日和26日举行的为期两天的研讨会（与NOAA）提供共同资助，以制定美国海啸研究的战略计划。研讨会将讨论以下主题：1.会议内容：1981年和2003年海啸研究计划回顾海啸研究现状综述对联邦机构未来海啸研究计划的回顾。2004年亚洲海啸引发的研究需求综述。将这些审查的结果纳入战略框架。于二零零七年十一月一日完成策略计划的时间表。该研讨会将于2006年7月27日和28日在俄勒冈州立大学与NSF/NEES海啸设备使用研讨会和复杂3D测深仪上的海啸淹没模型一起举行。为了确保一个具有不同技术专长和兴趣的核心与会者小组，将邀请一组选定的研究人员参加并发表演讲。他们将根据研讨会上的讨论提交一份建议摘要。Drs。Eddie Bernard， Lori Dengler和Solomon Yim将负责根据演讲者提供的信息编写一份总结报告。经过审查的报告将提交给NOAA和NSF批准。一旦获得批准，该报告将由美国国家海洋和大气管理局和美国国家科学基金会向海啸研究界传播。讲习班的长期目标是“开发海啸产生、传播和海岸影响的完整模拟，以提供海啸在海岸线的实时描述，用于预警、疏散、工程、以及国家研究委员会2003年NEES研究议程出版物《预防地震灾害，地震工程的重大挑战》中所描述的“与国家减灾计划合作以确定研究需求”的短期目标。它满足了国家海啸研究规划的迫切需要，并突出了负责海啸预警的NOAA和负责我国研究的NSF在实现这些目标方面的合作支持。研讨会制定的战略计划将使美国国会、NOAA、NSF和其他联邦机构能够更好地确定实现既定长期和短期目标所需的资源，以及如何在互补的研究学科之间分配资源。战略计划的实施将确保我们的联邦、州和地方政府机构以及沿海社区为海啸做好充分准备，防止类似亚洲海啸和卡特里娜飓风的灾难在美国发生。该战略计划将提供给其他易受海啸袭击的国家，使其益处在全世界得到体现。

AbstractThis award provides co-funding (with NOAA) of a two-day workshop, on July 25 and 26, 2006, to develop a strategic plan for tsunami research in the United States. Topics of review and discussion at the workshop will include:1. A review of past tsunami research plans (1981 and 2003)2. A review of current tsunami research3. A review of Federal agency plans for future tsunami research4. A review of research needs resulting from the 2004 Asian tsunami5. An assimilation of the results of these reviews into a strategic framework6. A schedule to complete the strategic plan by November 1, 20067. The workshop is to be held in conjunction with the NSF/NEES Tsunami Facility Usage Workshop and Tsunami Modeling of Inundation over a Complex 3D Bathymetry at Oregon State University scheduled for July 27 and 28, 2006.To ensure a core group of attendees with diverse technical expertise and interests, a selected panel of researchers will be invited to attend and give presentations. They will submit a summary of their recommendations based on discussions at the workshop. Drs. Eddie Bernard, Lori Dengler and Solomon Yim will be in charge of the development of a summary report based on the input provided by the presenters. The vetted report will be submitted to NOAA and NSF for approval. Once approved, the report will be disseminated to the tsunami research community by NOAA and NSF.The workshop addresses both the long-term goal of "the development a complete simulation of tsunami generation, propagation, and coastal effects to provide a real-time description of tsunamis at the coastline for use with warning, evacuation, engineering, and mitigation strategies" and the short-term goal of "working with the National Hazard Mitigation Program to define research needs" described in the National Research Council's 2003 NEES research agenda publication on "Preventing Earthquake Disasters, The Grand Challenge in Earthquake Engineering". It fulfills an urgent need in national tsunami research planning and highlights the collaborative support of NOAA, the agency responsible for tsunami warnings and NSF, the agency responsible for research in our nation, in achieving these goals.The strategic plan resulting from the workshop will enable the US Congress, NOAA, NSF, and other Federal agencies to better determine the resources needed to achieve the stated long-term and short-term goals as well as how the resources should be allocated among complementary research disciplines. Implementation of the strategic plan will ensure our Federal, State and Local government agencies and the coastal communities to be well prepared for tsunamis and prevent disasters similar to the Asia tsunami and Katrina Hurricane to occur in the US. The strategic plan will be made available to other countries prone to tsunami attack so the benefits will be manifested worldwide.
