A satellite has tracked a tsunami in greater detail than ever before, which could help improve models of these giant waves and allow for better prediction and warning systems.

NASA ’s SWOT system plotted the images of the storm against a tsunami forecast model from the NOAA. The study demonstrated that even tsunamis generated by very large earthquakes can contain a rich ...

A massive tsunami generated just offshore could turn large stretches of the U.S. Pacific coastline into a disaster zone ...

Last week's earthquake off the coast of Humboldt County triggered a tsunami warning that urged people across a huge swath of California and part of Oregon to move to higher ground, regardless of how ...

Tsunamis are among the most catastrophic natural hazards, triggered by seismic and non-seismic events, such as underwater earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, atmospheric disturbances, and ...

New research demonstrates shipborne navigation systems have potential to improve tsunami detection and warning. Landslide-generated tsunamis pose a serious risk to coastal communities, particularly ...

UC San Diego seismologist Alice Gabriel was one researcher on a multi-institution team which won supercomputing's most lauded ...
