This research project improves an engineering understanding of the              tsunami damage by verifying tsunami predictive models and estimating            the possible effects of tsunamis along the coast of Alaska and Canada           (Northern Pacific Coastal region).  These areas have been known to be           prone to large earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis.  This study                 provides a systematic approach to understand the tsunami runup                  characteristics for the most densely populated regions near the Gulf of         Alaska which are within the reach of a possible tsunami.  A                     time-dependent, two-dimensional numerical model will be developed to            study the generation and propagation of a tsunami from a major                  earthquake offshore of Alaska.  The results will then be verified based         on actual tsunami data in this region which are available from the              Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (ATWC) and from the Institute of Ocean            Sciences in Sidney, B.C., and the data on deep sea measurements of the          region from the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in               Seattle.
