Professors Synolakis and Borrero have been traveling in Indonesia, Sri
Lanka, Maldives and India following the Dec 26, 2004 tsunami. The TRC
staff rarely answer the telephone as neither the Department of Civil
Engineering does not provide secretarial support. While they try,
they can not always respond to emails even from media. If you contact
us via email and you don't get a response within two days, please try
again. If this is a media request, please also try emailing our press
officer Eric Mankin, mankin AT usc.edu. If this is a student request,
please use the information at http://www.usc.edu/dept/civil_eng/dept/chair.html
If this is a post-doc request, please email both Professors Synolakis
and Borrero and include a CV in PDF. If your request is for consulting
services, we specialize in siting and tsunami hazard assessment studies
for LNG facilities, inundation mapping, harbor resonance and reservoir
seiching. We regret that we can not consider any new assignments before
March 1, 2005.
