Self-deploying sea barriers offer coastal towns some protection from the destructive forces of tsunamis – but one problem can arise when power goes out in a disaster scenario. Hence this Japanese proposal for a wall that generates its own power.Continu… Continue reading Self-powered emergency seawall could generate power during tsunamis
With the aid of arms control technology and artificial intelligence, a team of scientists at Cardiff University’s School of Mathematics has developed a method that uses underwater microphones to provide early warnings of potentially deadly tsunamis.Con… Continue reading Hydrophones and AI improve tsunami early warning systems
Every minute matters in the event of a tsunami, and over the years we have seen a number of interesting ideas around how these giant waves might be better predicted ahead of time. These include monitoring underwater sound waves triggered by earthquakes… Continue reading Study shows magnetic fields can act as early warning signs for tsunamis
Around 66 million years ago, a gigantic asteroid smashed into the Earth and brought the 160-million-year reign of the dinosaurs to an end. Now, researchers have discovered direct evidence of this world-changing cataclysm in the form of fossilized “mega… Continue reading Fossilized “megaripples” record huge tsunami from ancient asteroid impact

As a region that is subject to a high degree of seismic activity, tsunamis are a real and ever-present threat for the people of Japan. The teams tasked with managing and responding to these risks may soon have a powerful new tool at their disposal, in … Continue reading Supercomputer-developed AI predicts tsunami flooding in real-time on a PC
Seawalls have become a key defensive tool for coastal communities looking to protect themselves against the devastation of a tsunami, though alternatives do exist. Known as tsunami mitigation parks, hilly stretches of coastline covered in plant-life ca… Continue reading Study makes a case for forested hills for tsunami defense
He kept working on new botnets (and swatting a co-conspirator-cum-competitor) while indicted and on supervised release. Continue reading Author of record-setting IoT botnets pleads guilty
A lot, it turns out. But not for very long. Continue reading How Much Energy Could We Really Harvest from an Earthquake?
