Collaborative Research: Improved Understanding of Subduction Zone Tsunami Genesis Using Se — NSF Award to University of South Flor
Subduction zone earthquakes can cause tsunamis, a deadly natural disaster. In the last two decades tsunamis generated near the land-ocean boundary have caused a quarter of a million fatalities (the 2004 Sumatra event, Earth’s deadliest recent natural disaster) and losses more than $200 billion (Japan’s 2011 event, one

| Abstract | Subduction zone earthquakes can cause tsunamis, a deadly natural disaster. In the last two decades tsunamis generated near the land-ocean boundary have caused a quarter of a million fatalities (the 2004 Sumatra event, Earth’s deadliest recent natural disaster) and losses more than $200 billion (Japan’s 2011 event, one of the most expensive natural disasters in history). A similar event is likely to hit the US Oregon-Washington coast sometime in the future. Unfortunately, the ability to forecast |
