• With use of modern computing power, we develop a new framework to search and detect the impact of natural disaster by integrating real-time computing, damage/loss estimation models, remote sensing and geo-informatics.
• The most important mission of our laboratory is to enhance the capabilities of disaster response/relief efforts and humanitarian activities by providing our research outcomes with particular regard to searching and mapping the areas and impacts of natural disasters.

Innovation in disaster management and response can be expected by fusion of high-performance real-time disaster simulation, remote sensing and geo-informatics.

• The Tsunami Engineering Laboratory (TEL) is the only laboratory in the world that studies tsunamis from an engineering point of view. In addition to studying modern and ancient tsunamis through field surveys and analysis of historical documents, human science, and disaster information, the TEL has developed a numerical simulation of tsunamis. This simulation is currently being used to develop highly accurate quantitative tsunami warnings and design characteristics of waterfront structures.
• After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, we re-started the research activity to enhance at a new research institute (IRIDeS) and education at a new inter-graduate school doctoral degree program on science for global safety.

The tsunami prediction technology enables influence, the hazard to the area along the shore in the future and a damage prediction. Where can you cope by current prophylaxis to? I can consider what is short concretely. The technology can be applied to the filed for an administration as well as the social infrastructure, insurance, traffic, and energy relations.
