Explore a press conference from the 2011 AGU Fall Meeting that delves into new scientific insights gained from the March 11, 2011 magnitude 9 Tohoku megaquake and tsunami in Japan. Learn about the tsunami's behavior and its far-reaching effects, from Japan to the Galapagos Islands. Discover findings on the previously unknown doubling of tsunami height and its amplified destructive power, which may explain varying damage patterns along inundated coastlines. Examine the widespread physical and ecological damage in the Galapagos, and review field survey results assessing the tsunami's impacts on Japanese coastal areas, including effects on buildings, protective structures, and natural beach rebuilding processes. Hear from expert participants including researchers from Chiba Institute of Technology, University of Southern California, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Hellenic Center of Marine Research as they present their findings and discuss the implications of this significant seismic event.
