Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Research and Technical Occupations
- Middle : Researchers
- Minor : Natural Science Researchers
Summary
Specialized researcher who studies tsunami generation mechanisms, propagation, and impacts, develops numerical models, and applies them to disaster prevention measures.
Description
Tsunami researchers elucidate the mechanisms of tsunami generation caused by earthquakes and seafloor topography changes, and analyze propagation processes using numerical models and field measurement data. They contribute to advancing early warning systems and formulating disaster prevention plans for coastal areas based on acquired knowledge. They collaborate with domestic and international research institutions and disaster prevention organizations, and share the latest technologies and knowledge through conference presentations and paper writing.
Future Outlook
With climate change and sea level rise, the importance of tsunami risk assessment is increasing. Developments in real-time prediction systems using AI and big data are expected.
