An article from CIRES shares that scientists collected information about a landslide from the R/V Sikuliaq. They then compared it with a landslide-tsunami model.
"Now, for the first time, scientists have detected tsunami waves caused by a landslide using data from a ship’s satellite receiver. The CIRES and CU Boulder-led research, published in Geophysical Research Letters, shows the potential for the approach to improve tsunami detection and warning, providing life-saving information to coastal communities."
