Dr. Hermann Fritz is a professor of civil engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). He is an expert on tsunamis and coastal hazards, such as hurricane storm surges, landslides and submarine volcanic eruptions, as well as their mitigation and coastal protection. Dr. Fritz has led or participated in more than a dozen post-disaster reconnaissance campaigns encompassing tsunami, hurricane, landslide, and earthquake events.

Dr. Fritz's research centers on fluid dynamic aspects of natural hazards such as tsunamis, hurricane storm surges and landslides as well as their mitigation and coastal protection. Dr. Fritz obtained his Doctorate degree (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) in 2002 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (Switzerland).

Interview avec RCI
Le Pr. Hermann FRITZ (Georgia Institute of Technology) fait partie des tout premiers scientifiques présents sur le terrain après le terrible tsunami du 11 mars dernier au Japon. 
Il revient à l'UAG (14h30, Amphi St-Ruff) avec son témoignage et des données importantes. 
Grâce à cela, nos îles caribéennes concernées par les mêmes phénomènes naturels pourront en tirer des leçons.
