December 28, 2006
The International Workshop on Fundamentals of Coastal Effects of Tsunamis was held in Hilo, Hawaii on December 26th-28th, 2006. Thirty-six leading tsunami experts from around the world were in attendance. NACSE's Harry Yeh is sponsoring the workshop and NACSE Director Cherri Pancake were in attendance. The workshop hosted discussions on the fundamental mechanics of coastal effects of tsunamis, including the mechanics of fluid and debris-impact forces on man-made and natural objects and the mechanisms of and mathematical analysis for tsunami scour, sediment transport, and deposit. The date was selected because December 26 is the anniversary for the 2004 Great Indian Ocean Tsunami.
