TAILIEUCHUNG - Nature Vol 433

As the full horror of the Asian tsunami sinks in, the reactions of scientists echo those of the population as a whole. These range from a sense of hopelessness in the face of nature’s power to concern for the victims and a determination that their suffering should be addressed. The Indian Ocean tsunami of 26 December 2004 occurred at about 01:00 GMT,when the Indian tectonic plate moved underneath the neighbouring Burma microplate, raising it by about 10 metres along a length of more than 1,000 km and sending a wave propagating through the full depth of the overlying ocean at high speed | nature Vol 433 No 7021 pp1-90 Editorials News News Feature Correspondence Books and Arts Essay News and Views ief Communications Brief Communications Arising Articles Letters to Nature Naturejobs The look of fear 06 January 2005 Editorials A divided world 1 The lack of preparation for last month s tsunami illustrates shocking disparities in how science is applied in different regions of the world. The global response to the disaster offers a glimmer of hope that these disparities will be addressed.
