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 ...

A satellite captured a Tsunami from space for the first time, revealing why the 2025 Kamchatka earthquake was less destructive than 1952.

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 ...

New images from a NASA satellite are giving scientists a view of tsunamis that they have never had before, revealing intricate structures in the open ocean that were previously invisible. Instead of a ...

New research demonstrates shipborne navigation systems have potential to improve tsunami detection and warning. Landslide-generated tsunamis pose a serious risk to coastal communities, particularly ...

Satellite data has revealed that the tsunami triggered by Russia's massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in 2025 behaved differently than predicted, challenging existing tsunami models.

Beyond the rare observation itself, the data raised deeper scientific questions. Large tsunamis are traditionally classified ...

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 ...

Ionospheric disturbances triggered by seismic and volcanic events have emerged as a critical area of geophysical research, offering novel insights into the coupling between the solid Earth, its ...
