Computer modeling illustrates 10 to 30-foot waves surging across the Pacific Ocean, as a result of a potential mega-earthquake in the Alaska Aleutian subduction zone.

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 ...

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 ...

A satellite deployed to measure ocean surface heights was up to the challenge when a massive earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula triggered a Pacific-wide tsunami in late July. The Surface Water ...

A Pacific-wide tsunami triggered by a magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake gave scientists their first detailed satellite view of a major tsunami in motion. The observations revealed unexpected wave ...

When a huge earthquake struck near Kamchatka, the SWOT satellite captured an unprecedented, high-resolution view of the resulting tsunami as it crossed the Pacific. The data revealed the waves were ...
