Explore field evidence and historical context to understand the magnitude of the July 29, 2025 tsunami in this geology lecture by Dr. Bre MacInnes from Central Washington University. Learn how scientists assess tsunami size through field investigations and compare findings with past tsunami events to provide comprehensive analysis. Examine the methodologies used to measure and document tsunami impacts, including sediment analysis, damage assessment, and geological markers left behind by these powerful natural disasters. Discover how researchers piece together evidence from the field to reconstruct the scale and intensity of tsunami events, and understand the importance of comparing recent events with historical data to better comprehend tsunami behavior and risk assessment. Participate in a live Q&A session where you can engage directly with the expert about tsunami research methods, field work challenges, and the broader implications of tsunami studies for coastal communities and disaster preparedness.
