Two years before Monday’s 5.2-magnitude earthquake, San Diego State University scientists started a project that led them more than 90 miles off San Diego’s coastline. In February, the group took a 12 ...

Tsunamis are a hazard across all three of Canada’s coastlines. The threat for these dangerous and destructive waves is greatest along the West Coast—but the Atlantic seaboard isn’t immune. Atlantic ...

Washingtonians breathed a sigh of relief when an 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Russia on Tuesday brought only small waves to the coast without triggering destructive tsunamis. But what many might not ...
