Wave Watchers: The Science of Tsunami Detection


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how tsunamis are detected? We recently spoke with a survivor of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. This week we’re talking with Dr. Stuart Weinstein, Deputy Director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. We’ll discuss the tsunami warning system, emergency evacuation, and why the 2004 tsunami was so deadly. We’ll also cover the possibility of a freshwater tsunami in the Great Lakes, and the science behind tsunami formation and detection.
