The scope of tsunami research within the USGS, however, is broader than the topics covered here. USGS researchers have also provided critical research toward understanding how sediments are transported during tsunami runup (see, for example, analysis of deposits (1.8 MB) from the recent Papua New Guinea tsunami) and deciphering the geologic record of prehistoric tsunamis (for example, in the Pacific Northwest ). The USGS also collaborates with the tsunami research group at NOAA . As part of this effort under the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program , the USGS has upgraded the seismograph network and communication functions of the west coast tsunami warning system (termed CREST Consolidated Reporting of EarthquakeS and Tsunamis).

Methods and Equipment Used by Marine Geologists
Most of the tools and methods used to study the ocean floors have been invented and developed within the last half-century. Marine geology, in this regard, is still a relatively young science with many unexplored frontiers. Because direct observation of the seafloor is difficult and time consuming, virtually all marine research requires vessels and sophisticated oceanographic instrumentation. The USGS now uses from 12 to 15 ships of various sizes, and from these floating laboratories marine geologists deploy their instruments. The quickest and easiest method of sampling the seafloor from a ship is by coring using a long metal pipe weighted at the top. The pipe is attached to a long multipurpose cable and is allowed to "free-fall" Gravity corers (inset) collect samples of seafloor sediments; the cores give valuable information on the Earth's recent climatic history. into unconsolidated sediments on the bottom. Data from core samples obtained by this method provide much information about the Earth's recent geologic history for example, comparisons of the relative dates of volcanic eruptions and periods of glaciation. Highly disturbed or specially sorted layers can document catastrophic submarine landslides initiated by earthquakes. Hard bedrock is sampled by dragging dredges along the bottom, or up submarine cliffs or canyons to dislodge and recover pieces of rock. Several new types of marine research vehicles have been developed that are proving to be valuable tools for marine geologic studies. They allow scientists to descend beneath the water to observe and sample the seafloor. A small-sized deep submersible carries one navigator and one scientist, but some larger ones operate as much as 6,000 feet below the ocean's surface and carry a five-person crew. The deepest oceanic trenches at depths exceeding 7 miles have been visited by these vessels. Most submersibles are equipped with cameras, lights, mechanical arms for collecting samples, and can accommodate specialized instruments for measuring shear strength, inclination of the sediment surface, and temperature of sediments. These research vehicles are also used to investigate the nature of bottom sediments, submarine canyons and seamounts, mineral deposits on the ocean floor, and submarine volcanoes.

Tsunamis
The Pacific Coast of Washington is at risk from tsunamis. These destructive waves can be caused by coastal or submarine landslides or volcanism, but they are most commonly caused by large submarine earthquakes. Tsunamis are generated when these geologic events cause large, rapid movements in the sea floor that displace the water column above. That swift change creates a series of high-energy waves that radiate outward like pond ripples. Offshore tsunamis would strike the adjacent shorelines within minutes and also cross the ocean at speeds as great as 600 miles per hour to strike distant shores. In 1946, a tsunami was initiated by an earthquake in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska; in less than 5 hours, it reached Hawaii with waves as high as 55 feet and killed 173 people. Tsunami waves can continue for hours. The first wave can be followed by others a few minutes or a few hours later, and the later waves are commonly larger. The first wave to strike Crescent City, California, caused by the Alaska earthquake in Prince William Sound in 1964, was 9 feet above the tide level; the second, 29 minutes later, was 6 feet above tide, the third was about 11 feet above the tide level, and the fourth, most damaging wave was more than 16 feet above the tide level. The third and fourth waves killed 11 people. Estimates of the damage range from $7.4 million to $16 million (in 1964 dollars). That same tsunami destroyed property in many areas along the coast from Alaska to California. In Washington alone, that tsunami caused $105,000 (in 1964 dollars) in damage.

Volcanos, earthquakes, tsunamis, and mountain building are just a few of the many geological events that happen around the world due to Plate tectonics. Each different event can occur with devastating effects or bring beauty to the world. The world's physical properties are constantly in the process of changing. Students will be exploring and researching a particular geological event of the world we live in. The research will take on a journalistic approach to gathering and organizing facts and presenting to their peers. Back to Top
The Task A journalist team, composed of two geologist, photojournalist, and a journalist will be gathering information related to a selected topic. Students will assume one of the roles and work together to convey their knowledge to other students at Pollard. Student will design a presentation of a computer slide show to go along with an the journalist interviewing the geologists. The topic will also be covered by the team creating a front page of a Daily newspaper. Back to Top
The Topics You must choose a topic from the list below that you would like to to research on. It may be a place that you have already visited, will be visiting, or world like to visit. It may be a topic that a friend or family member has talked about that sounds interesting and fun. Once you have selected a topic, we will beginning to form groups to work with in class.

http://www.aqd.nps.gov/synthesis/views/KCs/SPE/Coastal/HTML/04_Hazard_Index.htm
Natural hazards such as storms, hurricanes, and tsunamis are driving forces in coastal processes and landforms. When combined with increasing sea levels, these events may have tremendous impacts on our coastal environments and beaches. Coastal communities must be aware of natural hazards and take steps to prevent the loss of life and property caused by these events. Pre- and post-storm management plans must be developed and used to ensure the safety and protection of coastal populations and natural resources. Storms provide much of the sediment to fragile, shallow marine and estuarine ecosystems. Many wetland environments depend on storm activities for sediment build-up and survival when faced with rising sea levels. Select a hazard from the choices to the left. Rip Currents Rip currents are strong and swift, moving 1 to 2 meters per second, which is faster that an average person can swim! These currents are created due to set-up near the shoreline. Set-up is a slight (~ cm) increase in water levels compared to those found seaward of the surf zone. Set-up creates unstable conditions that are eventually relieved through the formation of rip currents. These dangerous currents generally form at a low point or saddle in a sandbar. Because rip currents tend to be narrow, swimmers caught in a rip current should swim parallel to the shore to escape being taken out to sea. Swimmers should be especially cautious during storm events, which may increase the frequency and strength of rip currents.
