This action provides support for U.S. participation in the tsunami symposium to be held in Nice, France, March 2001. This symposium is a part of the Natural Hazards program within the 26th General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society. It will present the state-of-the-art as regards tsunami generation, propagation and impact along coastlines, as well as discuss the tools needed to assess and mitigate the tsunami hazard. The participants supported by this grant include key researchers and junior members of the U.S. tsunami community; their presence at this meeting is critical for future cooperative research efforts. The symposium topics include contributions from geophysics, geology, numerical modeling, social and economical sciences, urban planning, and warning systems.Tsunami research has become increasingly important and international in its focus. Strong international cooperation is necessary since tsunamis can affect not only the region near the source but also distant regions through propagation across oceans. There were eleven major tsunami disasters around the world during the last decade, starting with the 1992 Nicaragua tsunami. A spectrum of challenging tsunami-related research will be presented and discussed at this symposium; it is expected that collaborative projects in many of these topics will be initiated by the participants.

这一行动为美国参加 2001 年 3 月在法国尼斯举行的海啸研讨会提供了支持。该研讨会是欧洲地球物理学会第 26 届大会自然灾害计划的一部分。 它将介绍海啸产生、传播和沿海岸线影响的最新技术，并讨论评估和减轻海啸灾害所需的工具。 这笔赠款支持的参与者包括美国海啸界的主要研究人员和初级成员；他们出席本次会议对于未来的合作研究工作至关重要。 研讨会的主题包括地球物理学、地质学、数值模拟、社会和经济科学、城市规划和预警系统的贡献。海啸研究的重点已变得越来越重要和国际化。 海啸不仅会影响震源附近的地区，而且会通过海洋传播影响较远的地区，因此强有力的国际合作是必要的。 自 1992 年尼加拉瓜海啸以来，过去十年间，世界各地发生了 11 次重大海啸灾难。 本次研讨会将介绍和讨论一系列具有挑战性的海啸相关研究；预计参与者将发起其中许多主题的合作项目。
