Megaquake Triggers Rare Tsunami Caught by NASA’s SWOT Satellite
NASA and France’s SWOT satellite has captured rare, detailed measurements of a tsunami generated by a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. This data, including wave height, shape, and direction, is helping NOAA fine-tune its tsunami forecast models, which are crucial for early warnings to coastal communities. Even seemingly small waves in the […]
Scientists Uncover Mysterious “Oases” on the Drying Shores of the Great Salt Lake
University of Utah geologists study reed-covered mounds that mark locations where ancient groundwater emerges at the surface. As water levels in the Great Salt Lake continue to drop, a new and unusual feature has emerged, giving Utah scientists another chance to investigate the lake’s many mysteries.
