Student Researchers Make an Impact in NHERI Tsunami Engineering

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 Wave/Surge and Tsunami Experimental Facility Tsunami Debris Experiments in the OSU Large Wave FlumeOrder from Chaos: A Statistical Approach to Predicting Tsunami Debris Flow
