Tsunami
Despite intensive analyses, it is difficult to predict earthquakes and potential tsunamis. The Cluster of Excellence “Future Ocean” in Kiel is a consortium of Kiel University and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and consists of interdisciplinary research teams that investigate ocean change holistically.
The ocean sometimes poses a threat – for example through submarine landslides that can trigger tsunamis. The data visualization on the interactive 3D globe of this science poster is based on 5,000 tsunami events dating back to 2000 BC.
