The arrival of the Chile 10 team was interesting and exciting. Meeting all participants from around the globe in Santiago de Chile with a cloudy and rainy day waiting for us in the middle of Spring in the South Hemisphere. However, the weather did not impede us of having a good time in the city. PYXERA Global members organized a tour through the historical places downtown. The day started in La Moneda, which is the government house, luckily, we had the chance of witnessing the "Cambio de Mando," that is the shift of turn between the police guards at the palace. Then walked to Plaza de Armas, a fabulous location that remains in the same place since the colonial times. The next stop was Parque Forestal and the Fine Arts Museum, to finish in Barrio Lastarria, one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the country for lunch with our teams and project assistants.
What is Tsunami Lab? Tsunami Lab is an educational platform that allows you to simulate and visualize the effect of tsunamis. Unlike other tools, such as the videos of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States. (NOAA), Tsunami Lab allows you to interact and configure different scenarios.Tsunami Lab was designed by José Galaz, an industrial civil engineer with a major in mathematics, while working at the National Research Center for Integrated Natural Disaster Management (CIGIDEN). The application is born of the crossing of a need - educating people as one of the most effective measures to save lives in the face of the impact of tsunamis in Chile - and the use of new technologies. This is how, subsequently, a collaboration was born between CIGIDEN and Inria Chile to promote the development of this project.
