--------------------------------------------------- Students to Test 'Tsunami Shelters'. This “Tsunami Shelter Challenge” is part of a two-year effort to increase student science and technology skills, using issues that seem relevant – in this case, building a vertical-escape tsunami shelter that could help save lives if such an event hit the Pacific Northwest. “These students have worked the past year learning about tsunami science, the engineering of structures, and how computational modeling is used to design and test structures,” said Rozeanne Steckler, creator of the project and director of the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering at OSU. PhysOrg.com Middle Schoolers Learn About Tsunamis at OSU. Middle school students from around Oregon built tsunami-proof models and tested them out at Oregon State University's Tsunami Wave Center. KEZI TV Tsunami project engages kids. An Oregon State University engineer is pioneering a project that enables middle school children to design, build and test tsunami shelters in the classrooms of rural and coastal Oregon schools. KVAL TV Students conduct tsunami research. Oregon middle school students are making a big splash at Oregon State University's Hindsdale Wave Research Laboratory. KVAL TV Students test model shelters. Sixth-graders gasped as a two-foot wave of water rolled toward them — and weeks’ worth of their work. Corvallis Gazette-Times Students pit block shelters against ocean wave power. Screams erupted from the mouths of elementary school students as a powerful tsunami bore down upon their carefully constructed shelters on Thursday, some of which were obliterated by the wave. Eugene Register-Guard Waving goodbye? Models undergo tsunami test. Sixth-graders gasped as a two-foot wave of water rolled toward them — and weeks’ worth of their work. The water crashed over models made of small wooden blocks and glued together with toothpaste. Many of the tiny buildings remained intact, despite the equivalent of a 30-foot wave hitting them. Albany Democrat-Herald Oregon is looking into setting up the first commercial wave farm in the United States. With wave heights averaging 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in summer and 3.5 metres (11.4 ft) in winter, the 460-kilometre (285-mile) coastline of the northwestern state is said to boast a wave energy potential of 13,800 MW, more than double its electricity energy consumption.
