Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa From Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji Woodblock print (25.7 x 37.9 cm) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. H. O. Havemeyer Collection, Bequest of Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer, 1929 (JP1847)

In 1830 Katsushika Hokusai created a woodblock which was to become the most famous Japanese work of art in the West and a major influence on nineteenth-century impressionist painters. This work, commonly called the Great Wave, has also become a symbol of human vulnerability, resilience and capacity to cope with natural disasters.

RESEARCH
My research interests cover Environmental Geography, namely the interaction between human activities and Earth processes. Core of this field of inquiry are Natural Hazard and Disaster studies. Specifically, I pursue research on the application of information technology to global information exchange, methods and legislations for natural hazard and disaster mitigation, and on liaison issues between science, technology and decision making. I am also interested in the development of online educational programs to increase awareness of humanitarian and environmental issues.
