Tsunami Lab

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.
