💨 Abstract

Scientists warn of a potential "Doomsday-style" mega tsunami, up to 100 feet high, that could hit the U.S. West Coast within the next 50 years due to the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This fault line, stretching from Northern California to British Columbia, is overdue for a major earthquake, which would trigger the tsunami. The hazard is compounded by climate-driven sea-level rise by 2100.
