For seismic hazard modeling, we refer to these uncertainties as “between-model uncertainty.” We also incorporate additional uncertainty estimates when we want to capture the full uncertainty because of the recognition that alternative models are (typically) developed to model mean/median metrics.

Imaging identifies a transition to supershear rupture at the Mendocino Triple Junction (MTJ), indicating a role of changes in geologic structure on rupture process. Fiber-optic cables (and distributed acoustic sensing, DAS) may help to monitor offshore earthquakes.

Calif. could detect massive earthquakes with internet cables. Here's how.
The same high-speed tech that brings you HD movies could also measure earthquakes.

This was NOT a 1500-ft tall wave traveling away from the landslide.
The 1500-ft number has been described as the splash caused by impact of the landslide with water in the fjord. Wave heights in the fjord were very high, however.

I’m definitely not the one to ask, but the landslide is right at the glacier terminus. @akearthquake.bsky.social just put out an event page also.

This reminds me of the story of the lone pine that survived the 2011 tsunami in Japan. www.tohokukanko.jp/en/attractio...
Miracle Lone Pine Tree｜Search Destinations in Tohoku | TRAVEL TO TOHOKU - The official tourism website of Tohoku, Japan
In the tsunami that struck Japan at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, a total of 70,000 pine trees were knocked down and washed away along this stretch of coast. Only one withstood ...

This is such a great spot. And there’s a connection with the 1906 earthquake.
