Itinerary and Structures Observed

2.1 Itinerary
The COPRI coastal structures team spent nine days in Japan — from May 10 - 18,
2011. On May 11, the team participated in a workshop sponsored by PARI in Tokyo
to discuss earthquake and tsunami information developed by Japanese researchers in
the two months since the event. The reports, given in Japanese with simultaneous
English translation, provided a useful introduction to the technical aspects of the
events and the early results from the post-event surveys. On May 12, the 10-member
COPRI/PARI team flew to Misawa, picked up rental cars, and spent the remaining
time surveying inundated communities along the coast. Table 7 shows the overall
itinerary.
