Scientists develop next-gen system that could give us leg up on devastating tsunamis: 'Takes only a few seconds'

Researchers have created a new tsunami detection system that could save a lot of lives.  Scientists at Cardiff University in Wales, United Kingdom, have developed a technology that utilizes underwater sound waves to provide real-time warnings of a tsunami. The new system, Global Real-time Early Assessment of Tsunamis (GREAT), detects sound waves using underwater microphones called hydrophones.  GREAT can also capture the properties of tsunamis f…
