Pictures: A picture of Dalrymple in Thailand, pointing to a tsunami water line. Here's a picture at UD, showing me putting dye into a rip current generated in the Ocean Engineering Laboratory's Directional Wave Basin. This study of rip current generation in the vicinity of sand bars was funded by ONR. Finally, here's a picture from Waves 2001 with Robert G. Dean, Leslie Ewing and Becky Edge (K. Barnes photo).

Artists for whom I have consulted:

• Jim Sanborn, Washington, DC: Wave Pool, Silver Springs, MD
