History has a way of repeating itself. But unlike science, built on general principles and testable theories about the natural world, history examines past events and human actions using evidence and ...

To better understand the scale of past earthquakes and tsunamis, scientists often use earthquake modeling or turn to evidence the tsunamis leave behind, such as sand deposits. The most recent great ...

When individuals hear volcanoes, they tend to envision blazing eruptions blasting into the air. However, volcanoes can also collapse sideways, with their sides, or flanks, collapsing. Such a collapse ...

This Collection invites submissions on the latest research in tsunami modelling and risk assessment, including multidisciplinary and integrative studies. We will consider original contributions ...

Scientists have unveiled breakthroughs in earthquake and tsunami monitoring, from advanced modeling in Italy’s volatile Campi Flegrei to satellite detection of tsunami waves off Kamchatka. These ...

Upending previous understanding of Anchorage’s tsunami vulnerability, researchers said Wednesday that a “rare but real risk” exists that a confluence of conditions could lead an earthquake-produced ...

This animation shows the simulated tsunami wave heights generated by the M8.8 earthquake. Around 70 minutes after the earthquake, the path of the SWOT satellite appears, shown in slow motion to ...

PASADENA, Calif. - A joint U.S.-French ocean satellite has captured the first high-resolution images of a massive Pacific tsunami, offering scientists a rare, sweeping view of wave behavior previously ...
