Tsunami Warning Systems: A Decade of Progress, A Century of Challenges
- In the next 6 months, we can expect to see the implementation of new infrasound detection methods in the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, allowing for earlier warnings of tsunamis generated by non-seismic sources.
- Within the next year, we anticipate the deployment of additional DART buoys in the Indian Ocean, further enhancing the region’s tsunami detection capabilities.
- By 2029, we expect to see the widespread adoption of tsunami-resistant building codes in coastal communities around the world, reducing the impact of tsunamis on infrastructure and human life.
- In the next decade, we foresee the establishment of a global tsunami early warning system, capable of detecting and predicting tsunamis in all ocean basins, and providing timely warnings to at-risk communities.
