Blindsided: How Science Can Help Avoid Another Tsunami Tragedy
The Dec. 26 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the most imposing displays of the Earth's power in recent human memory. "There have been more shocking events in Earth's history," says John Mutter, deputy director of the Earth Institute, "but they are rare." On Jan. 31, experts in a number of fields -- geophysics, risk management, geology, health and others -- gathered to discuss the forces that caused the tsunami and the impact it continues to have on the people of the Indian Ocean rim nations. |
