New research reveals that the highest tsunamis in history were caused by sudden landslides, not earthquakes, leaving ...

Landslide-induced tsunamis are generated when mass-scale failures, including subaerial and submarine landslides, abruptly displace water and initiate tsunami waves. These events have captured ...

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 ...

Tsunamis pose a danger to every community across Canada’s three coastlines. A tsunami is a series of large, persistent waves caused by the sudden displacement of a body of water. Earthquakes are ...

A massive tsunami-causing landslide in Southeast Alaska on Sunday likely sent more than 100 million cubic meters of debris — the equivalent of 40,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools — into an icy fjord ...

Two years before Monday’s 5.2-magnitude earthquake, San Diego State University scientists started a project that led them more than 90 miles off San Diego’s coastline. In February, the group took a 12 ...

Natural disasters affect many parts of the world, but few countries experience them as frequently and as intensely as ...

Tsunamis are a hazard across all three of Canada’s coastlines. The threat for these dangerous and destructive waves is greatest along the West Coast—but the Atlantic seaboard isn’t immune. Atlantic ...
