Description

At 14:46 local time on March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of northeast Japan. This earthquake generated a tsunami that struck Japan as well as various locations around the Pacific Ocean. With the participation of about 300 researchers from throughout Japan, joint research groups conducted a tsunami survey along a 2,000 km stretch of the Japanese coast. The inundation height and run-up height were surveyed by laser, GPS and other instruments. Based on the survey dataset, the regional and local scale analyses were conducted to understand the basic characteristics of this event. The survey data are shown with photograph and are discussed about magnitude of damage and tsunami event.
