Funded Activity Summary

Collection, Sharing, Visualisation and Analysis of locally gathered information from geographically remote areas vulnerable to tidal waves. This project will set up a virtual organization for tsunami related data analysis using grid technology. Due to geologically remote areas/countries involved the sharing of seismic, tidal and other locally gathered tsunami related information is critical to issuing a warning. In collaboration with Australian and International partners, this project will explore: new avenues of tsunami-related data collection, which are currently not available; new data fusion methods; data sharing strategies; visualisation and analysis methods; and develop sensing methods to gather data on animal behaviours often reported as a possible way of identifying similar disasters.
