Understanding tsunami risk and warnings | Alaska Insight

We learn about the Alaska-based effort to monitor and warn about tsunamis.

Scientists are working to better understand seismic activity in all forms, whether that’s an earthquake, landslide or volcanic eruption.

On this Alaska Insight, we learn about the Alaska-based effort to monitor tsunamis.
