The MAKEWAVES collaboration will conduct a large suite of experimental and numerical investigations of tsunami inundation of the built environment. It seeks to understand the physics of these destructive waves, and how to mitigate their impact on coastal infrastructure and improve tsunami resilience.

The MAKESWAVES experiments will consist of four experimental campaigns with specific aims and objectives.
Tsunami Runup | Boulders and Debris  | Tsunami-Structural Interaction  | Scour 

Further improvements to the tsunami wave generator technology will improve our ability to represent real tsunami wave propagation and inundation modeling.
