A UC San Diego seismologist has won an award often called the "Nobel Prize of supercomputing" for developing a tsunami forecasting system.

In October, A University of Connecticut associate professor will be publishing his research from this past summer, which found that factoring effects from storm debris into tsunami modeling increases ...

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 and ...

MIPT researchers Leopold Lobkovsky and Raissa Mazova, and their young colleagues from Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University have created a model of landslide-induced tsunamis that accounts for ...

Local leaders are focused on developing response plans for schools and communities that may be in the path of damaging tsunami waves following a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. New modeling, ...

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 ...

A satellite deployed to measure ocean surface heights was up to the challenge when a massive earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula triggered a ...

Dura and Weiss, along with colleagues from Rowan University, Rutgers University, Durham University, Nanyang Technological University, and the United States Geological Survey, joined forces to combine ...

Johan Gaume, an EPFL expert in avalanches and geomechanics, has turned his attention to ice. His goal is to better understand the correlation between the size of an iceberg and the amplitude of the ...
