Study warns of human-enhanced tsunami hazard in large lakes

Original: Human-enhanced tsunami hazard in large lakes

A new study published in Nature Communications finds that human activity can increase the risk of tsunami-like waves in large lakes. Factors such as reservoir construction, shoreline development and changes in water levels may amplify landslide-driven waves, posing hazards to lakeside communities and infrastructure that have often been overlooked in hazard planning.

Why now: The counterintuitive finding that human engineering can raise tsunami risks in lakes rather than only oceans is drawing attention.
