Our modern tsunami de- tection networks reliably detect these events hours in advance and provide warningss of their arrival, but predicting the exact size and impact is more difficult. Evacuating coastal zones can cost millions of dollars. To reliably predict whether a tsunami is large enough to require evacuations, many more observations from the deep ocean are needed. Researchers from the Uni- versity of Hawaii (including me), funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are partnering with the Matson and Maersk shipping com- panies and the World Ocean Council to equip 10 cargo ships with real-time high- accuracy GPS systems and satellite communications. Each vessel will act as an open-ocean tide gauge. Data from these new tsu- nami sensors are streamed, via satellite, to a land-based data center where they are processed and analyzed for tsunami signals. It is a pilot project to turn the moving ships into a distributed network of sen- sors that could give coastal communities more time to evacuate. Monitoring the world's oceans Despite the advances in tsunami monitoring and modeling technology over the last decade, it remains difficult for hazard response agencies to get enough information about potential tsunami threats. The prob- lem is that there are too few observations of tsunamis to provide sufficiently accurate predictions about when, where and how severely tsunamis might occur. In particular, there are very few sensors in the deep oceans that often lie between tsunami sources – usually earthquakes occurring under the ocean trenches that mark where tectonic plates meet – and the distant coastlines that might be threatened. Gaps in the coverage of the network, as well as routine outages of instruments, limit the ability of the current de- tection system to accurately assess the hazard posed. The deep ocean sen- sor networks that do exist are expensive to build and maintain, so only a limited number are deployed, at locations chosen based on our best current understand- ing of the hazards. But the unexpectedly huge 2011 Tohoku, Japan, earthquake and the unanticipated type of fault slip that caused Eurocargo Logistics announces rebrand EUROCARGO Logistics, the leading provider for reefer logistics, announces a corporate revamping with the introduction of a rede- signed logo, stationery and the concurrent launch of a new company website.
