4th International tsunami symposium
The Tsunami Society will hold its 4th International Tsunami Symposium in Toronto, Canada, July 25-29, 2010, in conjunction and co-sponsorship with the 2010 US-CANADA joint conference on earthquake engineering, “Reaching Beyond Borders.”
The stated purpose of the Ninth U.S. National and Tenth Canadian Conference on Earthquake Engineering - which the Tsunami Society shares and supports - is to provide an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to share the latest knowledge and techniques for understanding and mitigating the effects of earthquakes. The conference is being organized jointly by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute and the Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering.
The technical program of the Fourth International Tsunami Symposium will be a Special Session of the 9th US National and 10th Canadian Conference on Earthquake Engineering and will consist of Keynote Presentations and Technical Sessions (oral and poster). Proceedings will be provided to all participants as part of the overall registration package of the Joint Conferences.
The following themes have been identified tentatively for inclusion in the Tsunami Symposium program:
- Numerical Modeling
- Tsunami Preparedness
- Tsunami Instrumentation
- Experimental Modeling
- Landslide Generated Tsunamis
- Asteroid Generated Tsunamis
- Tsunami Source Mechanisms
- Risk Analysis
- Tsunami Engineering
- Historical Tsunamis
- General Session
The technical program will consist of Keynote Lectures, Technical Sessions (oral and poster). Proceedings will be provided to all participants as part of the registration package.
