NHR3 Tsunami Portal Workshop

Natural Hazards Risk and Resiliency Research Center (NHR3) will be hosting a short workshop on the recently developed NHR3 Tsunami Inundation Portal. The objective of the workshop is to demonstrate features of the new portal and receive feedback.

NHR3, headquartered at UCLA, has developed a new web portal to access the Tsunami Inundation Database developed for the western states of the US (California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii) and illustrate the results. This portal can conveniently be used by researchers and practicing professional to access tsunami-inundation design values such as maximum wave height and flow velocity. With this Portal, users are able to extract tsunami properties from the simulation database based on user-specified location.

This effort has been commissioned by the Oregon Department of Transportation with additional funding of the other states through the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) and builds on previous work supported by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), PEER, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the California Geological Survey (CGS) and American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE).

This portal has been developed by Dr. Silvia Mazzoni at the UCLA Natural Hazard Risk and Resiliency Research Center (NHR3), in collaboration with Prof. Pat Lynett of USC and Tom Shantz of Caltrans
