As part of the joint initiative, numerous high-resolution tsunami simulations were carried out using Japan's flagship supercomputer Fugaku. A new AI model was then created using simulated offshore ...

A tsunami has two key ingredients that are important for scientists trying to model how a given wave will behave: amplitude and wavelength.

When a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, NASA and CNES’s SWOT satellite captured a ...

Tsunami impacts on structures and the dangers of tsunami-induced debris have been recognized as a result of this disaster. In the joint research project between Chile and Japan, the aim is to enhance ...

The researchers then compared the data to a landslide-tsunami model, which simulated the generation and movement of tsunami waves from the shoreline to the ship.

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have helped develop a real-time tsunami forecasting system that could improve early warning capabilities for coastal communities near earthquake ...

Even MOST's initial forecasts of tsunami effects, formulated before all the data from buoys scattered around the Pacific Ocean were incorporated, were very accurate, Synolakis said.

The project is funded by the New Zealand Aid Programme and is being undertaken by tsunami and social science specialists at GNS Science. Four of the team set off for Samoa on Monday in the first ...
