Resumen del producto

An 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck just off the coast of Chile on Saturday 27 February and caused catastrophic damage to the country. The University of Concepcion, currently Chile’s leading institution in oceanography, was hit extremely hard by the earthquake and is trying to re - build their oceanographic research and academic operations affected by this event. The School of Natural Sciences and Oceanography facilities on the main campus will need significant help. The field station in Dichato was destroyed with the research vessel Kay - Kay, the school’s coastal vessel, stranded on land. Laboratory and field equipment and instruments are lost or have been destroyed both at the Marine Station at Dichato and the main campus in Concepcion. The pictures of Dichato are heart wrenching. The University of Concepcion is still trying to take a detailed inventory of their equipment, but needless to say, a lot of work and money is needed to recover from this disaster. Donations in US dollars or Euros can be made to the following bank account, whatever you can afford will be greatly appreciated by our Chilean colleagues.
