The study focuses on the critical moment of earthquake rupture beneath the seafloor, specifically during the magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Kamchatka.
Significant measurements taken near deep-ocean trenches reveal previously hidden tsunami signals, enhancing the understanding of tsunami generation mechanisms.
These findings are expected to improve global tsunami hazard assessments, particularly in regions vulnerable to similar seismic events.
