ALBANY, California, April 20 (TNSres) -- The Seismological Society of America issued the following news:
Researchers have developed a way to quickly detect and assess glacial valley landslides in coastal Alaska, which can in some cases trigger dangerous local tsunamis.
The strategy can detect and locate a landslide within a minute of occurring, within a couple of kilometers of its location if recorded by a dense regional seismic station network, said Alaska Earthquake C . . .
