Tsunami Institute

Following our class discussion on Tsunamis, I found this website of the Tsunami Institute. It has some pretty interesting pages like Tsunami Formation. The diagram shows the tectonic influence in tsunami formation. There is also a really nice section on Tsunami Occurence which shows a map of tsunamis from a world wide perspective. You can even subscribe, for a price!, to their Tsunami Alarm System which will send you a message via satellite if a Tsunami were to strike. The important thing though is that as we learned in class there must be a tsunami detection system in place for this to work.
