Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure

We all have experienced natural hazards in our lives: earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunami, floods: they impact our society at the most fundamental levels. Through rigorous testing and outreach programs, the team at the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure is committed to making sure the next natural hazard doesn"t have to be a disaster for you and your family. From the National Science Foundation and the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure: This is DesignSafe

Professor Mike Motley’s research team, Dakota Mascarenas, graduate student, and undergraduate Abbey Serrone, an undergraduate, traveled from University of Washington down to Oregon State to conduct a suite of tsunami-debris experiments in the facility’s large wave flume. The pair offer advice for engineering students who want to do hands-on research. They talk about working with the NHERI at OSU team and what it is like working on a (nearly) all-female research group.Related Links: NHERI Coastal

Tsunami engineer Mike Motley discusses the data analysis work ahead for his team, which recently completed 410 individual tsunami-debris tests in the NHERI at Oregon State University large wave flume. They are working with thousands of time history plots: things like forces, pressures, velocities wave-heights — that all need to be associated with different debris configurations, accelerometer data (from debris pieces) as well as high-speed video data. They are looking for trends, with the goal of

In the next set of episodes on DesignSafe Radio, we talk with tsunami engineer Mike Motley from the University of Washington. In an effort to predict debris loads on structures, he and his team are investigating tsunami debris flows from a statistical perspective. Motley calls it “embracing the chaos.” He is joined by his UW student team, Dakota Mascarenas and Abbey Serrone, and together they describe designing and conducting more than 410 individual experiments in the NHERI at OSU large wave
