Active and recently completed projects
We are now working on the Tsunami Hazard Map of the Siuslaw Estuary (Florence area). This tsunami hazard map is being prepared nowand will be published in 2005. It began with a bathymetric survey of the study area. This information will be used by Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology to do a computer simulation of the expected flooding from three scenario Cascadia subduction zone earthquake sources. These sources are similar to those used in the Alsea Bay tsunami hazard mapping project.
