New satellite-altimetry analyses show SWOT captured large-scale, two-dimensional ocean-height patterns during the 2025 Kamchatka tsunami and concurrent storm waves, helping refine rupture models and post-event understanding; however, the reported 35-meter waves were a misinterpretation of significant wave height, and real-time hazard alerts still rely on in-situ systems like DART buoys and meteorological models.
A massive earthquake in Russia triggered a tsunami that was captured in unprecedented detail by the SWOT satellite, revealing complex wave interactions that challenge traditional models and refining the understanding of the quake's rupture length, highlighting the importance of integrating diverse data sources for accurate tsunami prediction.
A NASA satellite, SWOT, captured high-resolution data of a complex tsunami triggered by a 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, revealing intricate wave interactions that challenge traditional models and could improve future tsunami predictions.
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake off Taiwan’s northeastern coast caused minor damage and power outages, with no major injuries reported. Authorities warn of potential aftershocks, but the situation is under control, highlighting Taiwan's ongoing seismic vulnerability.
NASA and French satellite SWOT captured high-resolution images of a Pacific tsunami caused by a 2025 earthquake, revealing complex wave patterns and challenging traditional models that treat large tsunamis as non-dispersive. The data suggest that dispersion plays a significant role in tsunami behavior, which could improve future forecasting and hazard assessment by integrating satellite, buoy, seismic, and geodetic data. This breakthrough highlights the need to update tsunami models to account for wave dispersion and internal structure.
NASA's SWOT satellite captured detailed images of a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula in 2025, providing new insights into tsunami formation and potential for improved early warning systems.
NASA's satellites captured a striking image of a massive tsunami, highlighting the power of earth observation technology in monitoring natural disasters.
NASA's SWOT satellite captured the first high-resolution, space-based view of a major Pacific tsunami caused by the 2025 Kamchatka earthquake, revealing complex wave patterns that challenge existing tsunami models and could improve future forecasting.
A NASA and CNES satellite, SWOT, captured unprecedented high-resolution data of a 2025 tsunami caused by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake, revealing that large tsunamis may break up into smaller waves, which could improve future prediction and warning systems.
A NASA and French satellite captured the first high-resolution image of a giant tsunami caused by a 2025 earthquake, revealing complex wave patterns that challenge traditional models and suggest the need for revised tsunami forecasting methods that incorporate dispersion effects and multiple data sources.
A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck off Japan's northern coast near Iwate, triggering a brief tsunami advisory that was later lifted, with no immediate injuries or damage reported. The region remains at risk for aftershocks, and the event highlights Japan's ongoing vulnerability to seismic activity, especially given its history with the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
A 6.9 magnitude earthquake off Japan's coast near Iwate triggered a brief tsunami advisory, with waves up to 20 cm, but no injuries or major damage were reported. Power outages and train delays occurred, and authorities warned of potential aftershocks and larger waves in the coming days.
A magnitude 6.9 earthquake off the coast of Iwate, Japan, triggered a temporary tsunami advisory that was lifted after three hours; no injuries or damage reported, but the region remains at risk for further quakes.
A magnitude 6.7 earthquake off Japan's coast has prompted a tsunami advisory for parts of eastern Japan, warning of potential waves over 3 feet, as authorities monitor the situation.
Scientists confirmed that the Silverpit Crater beneath the North Sea was formed by a 45-million-year-old asteroid impact, which caused a massive tsunami and ended a long-standing debate about its origin, using new seismic imaging and shocked crystal analysis as definitive evidence.
