A team of students from Moscow Polytech has developed a tsunami protection system that includes local bathymetric sensors that signal 15 minutes before the wave arrives, allowing for early evacuation of the population.
The system was created in collaboration with the Tsunami Research Laboratory of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The development is aimed at protecting settlements in tsunami-prone areas of Russia, such as Sakhalin and Kamchatka. Unlike seismic sensors, which can give false alarms, bathymetric sensors are able to accurately detect the threat.
The system has the potential for commercial use. It may also be of interest to countries where the probability of a tsunami is high.
