CSDS customer Hermann Fritz, a researcher from Georgia Tech University, is working alongside a team of 200 experts from the Tokyo University of Marine Science to figure out the devastating power of tsunami waves.
 
Using sophisticated measuring and recording devices, like the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 series and the Contour XLRic Laser Rangefinder, they've already learned alot about the killer tsunami that hit Japan. They are hopeful their findings will lead to the design of new defenses to help the Japanese and others avoid disaster in the future.
