The power of the sea tsunamis, storm surges, rogue waves, and our quest to predict disasters

The power of the sea tsunamis, storm surges, rogue waves, and our quest to predict disasters

Parker, Bruce B.
DAISY Sound Recording 2011

Parker, former chief scientist of the National Ocean Service, interweaves stories of unpredicted natural disaster with those of scientific discovery. The result is a journey from ancient man's first crude tide predictions to today's advanced early warning ability based on the Global Ocean Observing System, as we search for ways to predict tsunamis and rogue waves and critical aspects of climate change.
