Tsunami warnings using ocean circulation models part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource is an abstract. This study uses numerical models that take advantage of digital seismometry and satellite radar altimetry to shed light on tsunami source and formation mechanisms. The ...

A tsunami warning system for the Indian Ocean part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource is an abstract. Using tidal gauge data from the time of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the authors were able to reconstruct the height and speed of the waves and the time it took them ...

Magma shakes up earthquake locations part of SERC Web Resource Collection

Numerical models were employed to examine the relationships between the orientation of volcanotectonic faults and magma movement. It was found that the direction of movement on strike-slip faults ...

Simplified modeling method to estimate lava flow part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This resource provides an abstract. A numerical model that produces early predictions for the projected path of a lava flow was created. The two dimensional model is based on a generalized set of ...

Linking North Atlantic Oscillation and greenhouse gases part of SERC Web Resource Collection

An analysis using a dozen climate models suggests that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) may intensify with further increases to greenhouse gas concentrations.

Farallon Plate Remnants part of SERC Web Resource Collection

This image and short video from the NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio shows the remnants of the Farallon Plate based on seismic tomography studies. The studies were conducted by Hans-Peter Bunge ...
