Abigania, Maria Isabel Tolentino (Mabel) I was part of the team that re-documented and assessed the 1990 Bohol Earthquake in Central Philippines. The said event was due to an unknown offshore thrust fault based on re-plots of seismicity from NEIC. It resulted to slight recession of the sea although no big wave was produced.

At present I am starting with my research on coseismic uplifts using corals as indicators for the M.S. thesis.

Anderson, Robert (Bob) I am helping to prepare the Seismic safety Commissionreport to the Governor and Legislature tsunami hazards, risk, mitigation,preparedness, education and public policy.

Beget James E. I'm involved in two tsunami research projects. (1) With the AlaskaVolcano Observatory, I'm studying historic and prehistoric tsunamis associated with volcanic eruptions, particularly at Augustine Volcano in Cook Inlet. (2) With the interdisciplinary TWEAK project, I'm working with Elena Suleimina, Zygmunt Kowalik and Roger Hansen, using new multi-beam bathymetric data to characterize submarine landslides produced during the 1964 earthquake at Seward and ValdezAlaska, and to link the geologic data to computer models of local tsunami wave generation by submarine landslides, wave propagation, and local run up.

Besana, Glenda M. For more than fourteen (14) years of professional work experience, I have gained expertise in the field of active faults and tsunami hazards mapping and assessment. Through these studies, I had worked with local and international experts in the varying fields like disaster risk management, urban planning, rescue and emergency response, disaster preparedness planning, capacity-building, and policy-making for Philippines and other developing countries. Recent research involvement: tsunami assessment and mapping in southwestern Mindanao, Philippines and Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

Bourgeois, Joanne (Jody) I am a sedimentary geologist interested in all aspects of tsunami science and its broader applications. I have worked on tsunami deposits from the K-T boundary, but currently most of my work is on the last 10,000 years of record, including modern tsunami deposits. My interests include neotectonics, paleoseismology, and tsunami sedimentology. I am particularly keen on using tsunami deposits to inverse model their sources. In recent years I have been drawn to work on Kamchatka by the excellent tsunami record there, the stratigraphic control offered by Kamchatka volcanic ash layers, and by the complex tectonic story on the NW corner of the Pacific.

Cormier, Marie Helene As a marine geophysicist, I am applying a wide array of methods to characterize and understand the geological events that shape the ocean floor in various environments. Lately, my research has focused on the neotectonics of coastal areas and the associated seismic hazards.

My colleagues and I are developing a methodology for underwater paleoseismology and the characterization of the Holocene behavior of the North Anatolian transform fault beneath the MarmaraSea (Turkey). Using a combination of high-resolution geophysics and precisely located cores, we mapped the likely termination of the ground rupture from the 1999 Mw=7.2 earthquake, evaluated the Holocene cumulative slip along the main branch, quantified some unexpectedly rapid rate of vertical motion, and recognized several historical earthquakes from the sediment stratigraphy.

We are planning to apply our insight about underwater processes during large earthquakes to investigating the submarine signature of 2004 and 2005 giant earthquakes offshore Sumatra. A NSF "small grant for exploratory research" has funded our participation last March in the Japanese expedition to the epicentral area of the 2004 earthquake. The expedition of the R/V NATSUSIMA was lead by Dr. Wonn Sohn and made use of high-resolution geophysics and a ROV (remotely operated vehicle) to observe disruption at the seafloor off Sumatra.

Doner, Lisa I am a paleolimnologist primarily concerned with reconstructing past Holocene records from lake sediments, including changes from climate and sea level, human land use, and catastrophic events. My current project is on two coastal water resource lakes which have a past history of tsunami inundation with a high risk of recurrence in the next 100 years.

Eipert, Annaliese I recently graduated with a BA in geology from CarletonCollege, where I conducted my senior thesis on OSL dating of the 1960 Chile tsunami. In 2005 I will begin my Master's work on earthquake and tsunami geology at the University of Washington. I am especially interested in the international aspect of this workshop, and in meeting and collaborating with scientists from around the world. I currently work for NOAA's Pacific Hydrographic Branch, and am the contact person for supplying bathymetry data to NOAA's Tsunami Innundation Mapping Effort (TIME) Center.
