International Innovation Workshop on Off Shore Tsunami Energy Dissipation and Peak Height Alleviation
.
As one of the most serious natural disaster is Tsunami as can be seen in Fig.1
Tens of thousands of people have been loosing their lives periodically.
Current countermeasure such as global Tsunami Warning system plays more important role in future.
Also we may consider more active action to mitigate Tsumani damage to minimize such a periodic tragedy by Science, Technology and Innovation.
.
As an active countermeasure against Tsunami, feasibility study of a new approach for Off-Shore Tsunami energy dissipation and Peak Height Alleviation will be discussed as a main topics of this first Innovative workshop.
This new potential countermeasure needs a cross-disciplinary approach with a brain-storming type discussion in depth and this workshop provides a unique opportunity for it to those who should be involved in this new approach.
The approach will strengthen a current countermeasure against Tsunami by constructing higher breakwater and higher elevation construction of houses and buildings.
Peak Height Alleviation will be effective to minimize a damage by Tsunami for any residences and their properties and any industrial constructions built near the coast.
