Streaks on Mars Satellite Data Confirms First Ship-Based Detection of Landslide-Triggered Tsunami
For the first time, scientists have detected a tsunami generated by a landslide using satellite data from a ship's navigation system, marking a significant step forward in early warning technology for coastal communities. The breakthrough, led by researchers from CIRES and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), was published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Landslide- NASA Studies Uncover New Insights into Interiors of Moon and Vesta
NASA researchers have made significant strides in understanding the internal structures of the Moon and the asteroid Vesta through advanced gravity mapping, offering new insights into the formation and composition of these celestial bodies.
The first study, published May 14 in Nature, introduced a sophisticated gravity model of the Moon that captures tiny variations in its gravitational fi
