Tsunami Detected From a Ship? Scientists Make Historic Breakthrough

Scientists have, for the first time, detected a landslide-generated tsunami using satellite data from a research ship. Landslide-triggered tsunamis are a real danger for coastal communities, especially in narrow fjords where steep cliffs can trap and boost the power of incoming waves. While most tsunami warning systems rely on detecting earthquakes, they often miss the [...]
