We had a slew of small earthquakes here in Southern California. Spirit is still talking about the earthquake prediction from a few days ago, marking it with the number 6, which I assume will be its magnitude, so even though our timing is off, they still seem set on this magnitude 6 ear...
Soon after the initial shaking, residents’ cellphones began their own rattling, blaring a warning: There was now the threat of a tsunami along a wide stretch of the Pacific Coast — from northern Santa Cruz County and extending wel...
government today outlined plans to expand its Pacific tsunami warning system to the Caribbean, as well as the Gulf of Mexico and even the Atlantic. On average, a major earthquake shakes the Caribbean every 50 years. A dozen earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have occurred in the last ...
Southeast Asia has had both volcanic tsunamis and possesses some of the most densely populated, economically important and rapidly developing coastlines in
Off the coast of Alaska, colliding tectonic plates create a 2500-mile-long fault known as the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. Research shows that the subduction zone can produce distant-source tsunamis that strike the west coast of the United States, and in particular, Southern...

Today, sophisticated instruments are used to monitor changes in sea level, especially after an earthquake, and to alert coastal zones of impending danger from destructive tsunamis. Guam receives its information from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, which has detectors on buoys located throughout ...

S3c,d,e). Near source tsunameters are also very important for tsunami warning as their records can be accessible in real-time, more easily than seafloor geodetic measurements, supporting their planned intensive deployment and their integration into the existing Japanese tsunami warning system11,68. ...
"[It] did not rise to the level of triggering [a tsunami] alert," University of Southern California's Tsunami Research Center director Costas Synolakis told NBC News. "So from that point of view, the Tsunami Warning Centers were essentially useless." ...
