Re: Appeal for contribution of research results for our documentation
Dear Prof. Synolakis
We are a tsunami victims’ association and we have come across a lot of utterances, commentaries, articles and names since the great tsunami disaster of X-mas 2004.
Many of them of little substance and some of them more authoritative and significant.
Your name has a particularly good ring in our ears.
Today’s Wall Street Journal Europe carries an excellent contribution of yours about the fires in Greece (see attachments), which reminds us once more of the valuable work that you have been doing in the field of tsunami research. We want to take this opportunity to turn to you for help.
Over the past year we have been working to establish a comprehensive documentation, available on the net, under the general heading of “The Tsunami 2004”. It is well known that you have been conducting extensive research along the coastlines of the Indian Ocean immediately after the tsunami 2004, and you have been in touch with others who have been doing field surveys there. We wish to ask you to provide us with whatever material you dispose of yourself and which you would be willing to let us have and with whatever may be available from other people with whom you are in contact.
It’s our general objective to throw light on all the circumstances of the calamity of Dec. 26, 2004, which we refuse to see as a natural and unavoidable catastrophe.
So any assistance from you to our endeavours would be highly welcome.
Yours sincerely,
Jerzy Chojnowski

Our request remained still unanswered without any result or reaction so far.
