A tsunami is more than just a big wave. It’s spawned by geological forces—from earthquakes to volcanic eruptions. Records of ancient tsunamis could provide prehistoric warnings of what's to come. l8r.it/9oEg

Gigantic tsunamis have been decimating coastlines since time immemorial. We ignore these prehistoric warnings at our own peril.

Como equipo de investigación, estaremos realizando varias actividades en conmemoración de los 100 años del terremoto que afectó a Atacama en 1922. El día viernes habrá una actividad abierta para el público en el Centro Cultural de Caldera. @Lito_Abad @geastonvargas @MakeStanne

Thank you so much to all the research team for at least seven years of intensively field work, analyses and discussion, including some specific outreach activities with local communities… so much to do yet! @Josgonal @ProfJamesGoff @tatianuskaya and all the team!

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 Our new work leaded by Diego Salazar and @geastonvargas. 3800 years ago a seismic superrupture triggered a Mw 9.5 megaearthquake and massive tsunami in northern Chile. The impact produced a major social disruption in early inhabitants. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Wow, I didn't even know such structures existed - they will definitely make it into my lecture on natural hazards!

Our recent @NatureComms paper about sand spikes featured in the New York Times! 🏙️🗽📰 nytimes.com/2021/12/08/scien… #sandspikes #seismite #earthquakes #Biberach #Ochsenhausen #Riescrater #California #geology

Scientists Have a New Explanation for Mysterious Sand Spikes (Published 2021)

New research links the geological oddities to intense ground shaking from earthquakes or asteroid impacts.
