Hazards

USGS studies the cause, distribution and potential of coastal and submarine hazards associated with earthquakes, submarine landslides, tsunamis, coastal inundation, and oil and gas spills. USGS develops models to help evaluate and forecast hazard probability and occurrence. Assessing hazards in the submarine environment prepares society for potential events that affect health and safety.
