Summary
Chilean scientists have estimated that the magnitude-8.8 earthquake that rocked the country on 27 February caused some $200 million in damage to research facilities and equipment. Researchers are asking the government for emergency funding and for the establishment of a seismology center that would, among other things, run the nation's tsunami warning system.
