A team of scientists has discovered a way to predict tsunamis using the fastest supercomputer in the world. This real-time ...
How can AI-based models help predict tsunamis and their potential impacts? We interviewed Usama Kadri, Researcher of Applied Mathematics at the University of Cardiff (United Kingdom) to discuss the ...
Computational modeling could improve how scientists and planners understand and prepare for natural disasters on our coasts ...
A team of scientists has developed a new model for simulating both iceberg calving and the tsunamis that are triggered as a result. Their method can help improve hazard assessment in coastal areas ...
By including multi-section earthquakes in our modeling, we believe the range of tsunami heights we estimate for the ports is a step forward in our understanding of impacts of future tsunamis there." ...
Low lying areas are swamped, millions of people have hours to evacuate and destruction on a mass scale is predicted by scientists who have mapped the worst-case scenarios for how Queensland's ...
“Conventional tsunami modeling provides predictions after 30 minutes, which is too late. But our model can make predictions within seconds.” Since tsunamis are rare occurrences, the team trained their ...
Forecasting the size of future megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis by exploiting the new technology of offshore and onshore geophysical observations. We aim to assess the potential for megathrust ...
Catastrophic landslides can trigger tsunamis like this one in Japan How is it that one underwater landslide leads to a devastating tsunami, while another of similar size barely causes a ripple ...
Earthquakes of similar magnitude can cause tsunamis of greatly varying sizes. This commonly observed, but not well-understood phenomenon has hindered reliable warnings of local tsunamis. Research ...
