The German - Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (GITEWS) is being developed by a team led by Jörn Lauterjung of the National Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany.
«We have pretty much technically solved the tsunami detection issue, but getting warnings down to the «last mile» is another story,» says Costas Synolakis, director of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research in Athens.
