National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's site for tsunami research of improved measurement technology, development and implementation of improved models and improved methods to predict tsunami impacts on the population and...

Students use a table-top-sized tsunami generator to observe the formation and devastation of a tsunami. They see how a tsunami moves across the ocean and what happens when it reaches the continental shelf. Students make villages of model...

This site features information and related links that can be used by students and scientists to understand the events that led to the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Scientists used maps and seismic data to produce a computer simulation that accurately shows the creation of the wave that shook the world. In this interactive, examine some of the models and images that reveal details of the tsunami...

Students learn about tsunamis, discovering what causes them and what makes them so dangerous. They learn that engineers design detection and warning equipment, as well as structures that that can survive the strong wave forces. In a...

Students are introduced to our planet's structure and its dynamic system of natural forces through an examination of the natural hazards of earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, tsunamis, floods and tornados, as well as avalanches, fires,...

Students explore how different materials (sand, gravel, lava rock) with different water contents on different slopes result in landslides of different severity. They measure the severity by how far the landslide debris extends into model...

A brief history covering magnetic disks, developed as efficient random access memory device. Additionally, a discussion on how a disk drive works is provided. The artifacts are on display at the Computer History Museum. This site...
