The 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami caused widespread damage across Japan. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake lasted approximately 6 minutes and generated a large tsunami with waves up to 40 meters high that hit Japan's eastern coast, sinking entire towns. Over 15,000 people were killed, mostly by drowning, and damage occurred to Japan's electricity, nuclear power plants, dams, transport infrastructure and economy. The tsunami's effects were also felt as far away as Hawaii, Russia and South America.

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan was a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that caused devastating damage. It was the fourth largest earthquake ever recorded and caused over 15,000 deaths. The earthquake was caused by subduction along the Japan Trench, where the Pacific Plate slides under the Okhotsk Plate. Significant effects included major land subsidence along the coast, numerous powerful aftershocks, and a large tsunami that caused additional destruction. The earthquake also shifted the Earth's axis and rotation. Japan continues to recover from the damage many years later.

This chapter describes what is probably the best example historically of what has come to be known as a "cascading crisis": earthquake, tsunami, with secondary nuclear reactor damage. http://www.jblearning.com/catalog/9781449645199/2011 Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami caused widespread damage in Japan. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, generating massive tsunamis up to 40 meters high. Over 15,000 people were killed and infrastructure like roads, railways and power plants were severely damaged. The tsunamis also caused a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, resulting in radiation leaks. The disaster caused short term impacts like power outages and interruptions to transportation and communications across northern Japan.
Tohoku Natural Disaster - March 11-2011
An earthquake of magnitude 9 struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, triggering a massive tsunami. Over 15,000 people were killed and the tsunami caused a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. The earthquake was caused by the subduction of the Pacific tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate, releasing built up stress between the plates. Effects of the earthquake and tsunami were felt around the world, including tsunami debris still washing up on North American shores two years later.

M6.6 earthquake strikes near Ya’an city, Sichuan province, ChinaProfessor Eric K. Noji, M.D., MPH, DTMH(Lon), FRCP(UK)hon
An M6.6 earthquake struck near Ya'an City in Sichuan Province, China on April 20, 2013, killing at least 180 people and injuring about 11,000. The shallow quake was generated by the same fault that caused the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake. It destroyed buildings and triggered landslides, hampering rescue efforts. Many buildings collapsed as they were unable to withstand the strong shaking. Rain and debris on April 21 further slowed rescue work during the critical first 48 hours.Earthquakes powerpoint
The document discusses earthquakes, including their causes, measurement, effects, and preparedness. Earthquakes occur due to the sudden release of built-up stress along fault lines in the earth's crust, causing seismic waves. Their magnitude is measured using scales like the Richter scale or moment magnitude scale. Earthquakes can damage infrastructure and the environment through ground shaking and secondary events like tsunamis or landslides. While earthquakes cannot be prevented, preparation through emergency planning and building design can reduce risks.

Natural Disasters: A comprehensive Presentation
Natural disasters can be categorized as meteorological, geological, or hydrological based on their cause. Meteorological disasters include hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, tornadoes, and are caused by atmospheric conditions; they typically involve strong winds and rain. Geological disasters are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused by movements of tectonic plates deep below the Earth's surface. Hydrological disasters refer to tsunamis and floods caused by water, such as tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes or severe rainstorms causing floods. The document provides examples of different types of natural disasters, how and where they typically occur.

Rose S. Tsunami
Tsunamis are huge waves, over 100 feet tall, that are very destructive when hitting land. They are most commonly caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes, or meteor strikes. The most destructive tsunami on record was in 2004 in Southeast Asia and Africa, killing over 250,000 people across 14 countries. Tsunamis would have a massive impact, demolishing homes, towns and infrastructure in their path.
Earthquakes presentation1
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of built-up stress in the Earth's crust. Most earthquakes occur along fault lines in the crust where tectonic plates meet. While most earthquakes are natural, human activities such as wastewater injection and hydraulic fracturing can also trigger quakes. The Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped region around the Pacific Ocean, experiences about 90% of the world's largest quakes due to tectonic plate movement. Earthquakes can severely impact life on Earth through damage, injuries, deaths, and other hazards like tsunamis and landslides. While prediction remains difficult, early warning systems provide some communities advance notice to help minimize harm.

No, radar polarimetry itself can be used without relying on differential time, interferometry or high resolution data. Some key ways radar polarimetry can detect damaged areas include:
- Changes in scattering mechanisms (e.g. from double bounce to volume scattering) due to collapsed/damaged structures are evident in target decomposition techniques like Yamaguchi decomposition.
- Increased entropy/randomness of scattering and decreased average alpha angles in polarimetric SAR images of damaged areas analyzed using Cloude-Pottier decomposition.
- Orientation of dominant scattering mechanisms changing from alignments of intact structures to more random orientations in damaged areas, seen through polarization orientation angle analysis.
- Backscattering levels changing significantly from pre

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
