Thursday, 14 August 2025 06:51
Data from a joint NASA and CNES mission has provided valuable insights to refine tsunami forecasting models, potentially improving coastal safety worldwide.
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite recorded the tsunami generated by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 30. Passing over the area roughly 70 minutes later, SWOT measured the wave's Early Earth may have had active plate tectonics far sooner than thought

Researchers investigating the Hadean Eon, which lasted from 4.6 to 4.0 billion years ago, have uncovered signs that plate tectonics began far earlier than widely assumed. The era started with Earth's formation and a colossal Mars-sized impact that created the Moon, melting the planet's interior. Crust solidification occurred about 4.5 billion years ago, but subsequent tectonic activity has been White House issues executive order to revamp commercial space regulations
