How to Hear a Tsunami Before It Hits: The Power of Sound Waves
Listen now
Description
This episode is about a recent paper that proposes a new method to predict tsunamis using sound waves generated by underwater earthquakes. The method uses hydrophones to record the sound waves and a computational model to estimate the earthquake features and the tsunami size. The method is fast, accurate, and low-cost compared to other methods that rely on water level measurements. The authors have tested their method with real data from past tsunami events and are working on improving it further.
