Join us as we celebrate NOAA's Dr. Eddie Bernard and his accomplishments as a 2008 Service to America Medal recipient in the category of Homeland Security.

Dr Bernard

 

Over the past 38 years, Dr. Bernard has led groundbreaking research on tsunamis in the United States, creating a new tsunami detection and forecast system that has dramatically increased forecast accuracy and decreased the risk of catastrophic loss of life. However, developing accurate tsunami forecasts is far from Dr. Bernard’s only accomplishment. To read Dr. Bernard's entire profile, click here and join us on September 29th.
