Experts are alerting that the precarious cliffs along Alaska's coast and its active seismic regions pose an increasing mega-tsunami threat to the entire Pacific shoreline of the United States. Recent geological assessments have identified multiple potential landslide triggers in Alaskan fjords that could produce waves taller than 800 feet. In simulations, tsunamis from Alaskan mega-slides have traveled as far south as Hawaii and California within hours. Researchers are emphasizing the need for immediate funding in early warning systems along the entire Pacific coast of the US.
