As part of the Recovery Survey Regarding Sanriku Coast Municipalities Affected by the March 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami, Dr. David W. Edgington, professor of human geography at the University of British Columbia, was making a series of visits to the disaster-struck municipalities of the Sanriku Coast. He requested our assistance with coordination of these research visits, data aggregation, and Japanese-to-English/English-to-Japanese interpretation. In cooperation with the residents and local governments of these coastal municipalities, we helped Dr. Edgington conduct interviews, observations, and surveys.
