The tradeoffs inherent in earthquake early warning systems
A team of researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Institute of Technology has found that modern earthquake early warning (EEW) systems require those interpreting their messages to take into consideration ...
Calculating tsunami's size and destructive force by exploiting high-speed acoustic gravity waves
Mathematicians have devised a way of calculating the size of a tsunami and its destructive force well in advance of it making landfall by measuring fast-moving underwater sound waves, opening up the possibility of a real-time ...
