It's also annoying because that paper is about sudden land subsidence and not tsunamis or quake probabilities as such. They do note established quake models and that if you are suddenly two metres lower than you were before your tsunami risk just increased a lot. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Just to illustrate how long waves from a #tsunami can keep going, this is a tide gauge record from Crescent City CA (known for its sensitivity to tsunami waves due to bathymetric and resonance effects) showing significant wave activity still continues 24+ hours after their first arrival. 🧪⚒️

Why one of the world’s biggest earthquakes wasn’t followed by a monster tsunami
Past strong earthquakes have caused massive and damaging waves far away, but scientists say these tsunami waves were tame by comparison across the Pacific basin.

Totally agree. Climate change isn’t causing big subduction earthquakes. But it is raising baseline sea levels along our coasts, and that makes the impacts of those earthquakes and tsunamis worse when they do happen.

Another quick comparison of the 1952 #Kamchatka #earthquake from MacInnes et al. (2010) with today’s M8.8 event. The aftershock areas are similar, as well as one region of foreshocks. The updated USGS rupture model has a max slip of 10m versus 12m for 1952, with SW rupture direction. 🧪⚒️
