Staying one step ahead of tsunamis

Staying one step ahead of tsunamis (Image credit: Richard Madsen) Download Image March 23, 2026 Tsunamis can be devastating, unpredictable events that have caused over 250,000 fatalities since the beginning of the 21st century—as well as hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to property and infrastructure. The harrowing scale of the destruction they cause can raise doubts over the difference that mere data can make. While no amount of tsunami data can prevent the disasters from occurring, collecting and storing it saves countless lives. Education 0 Off

NOAA ship to map potential critical mineral deposits in U.S. waters of Pacific Ocean

NOAA ship to map potential critical mineral deposits in U.S. waters of Pacific Ocean March 27, 2026 The NOAA Ship Rainier conducts a seabed mapping exercise in the Pacific in 2022. (Image credit: NOAA) Download Image In early April, the NOAA Ship Rainier will begin to map and characterize more than 8,000 square nautical miles of federal waters off Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. This project is part of the Department of Commerce's implementation of the U.S. Offshore Critical Minerals Mapping Plan, as described in President Trump’s Executive Order 14285: Unleashing America's Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources.The Rainier is a hydrographic survey ship staffed by NOAA Corps Officers and professional mariners. The first survey leg will focus on mapping with multibeam echo sounders in deep water. The second survey leg will use autonomous underwater vehicles from Orpheus Ocean offsite link to acquire high-resolution seabed imagery and geological samples, in partnership with the NOAA Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute offsite link. “Nearly half of U.S. waters, including this area of the Pacific, have not been mapped to modern standards,” said Neil Jacobs, Ph.D., NOAA administrator. “The Rainier crew will collect high-resolution survey data in this area for the very first time to deepen our understanding of its seabed composition.” NOAA will produce publicly accessible maps and images of these federal waters in the Pacific. These products will inform NOAA, other federal agencies and interested parties of the likelihood of finding critical mineral deposits in the surveyed area. This effort will generate high-quality, deep-ocean data to help increase the baseline understanding of the deep-ocean environment, as well as stimulate further potential exploration, research and management projects, including activities related to critical minerals.About deep seabed mineral developmentDeep seabed mining is the extraction of nodules containing critical minerals from the ocean floor. Some regions of the deep seabed contain an abundance of valuable resources like manganese, nickel, cobalt, copper and rare earth elements. Critical minerals are used in everything from defense systems and batteries to smartphones and medical devices and are increasingly important components for American manufacturing. Access to these minerals is a key factor in the resilience of U.S. supply chains.

National Hurricane Center to issue new forecast cone graphics for 2026 hurricane season

National Hurricane Center to issue new forecast cone graphics for 2026 hurricane season Other product enhancements include Hawaii Storm Surge Watches & Warnings March 24, 2026 Image of Hurricane Milton from NOAA's GOES-16 satellite on Oct. 8, 2024. (Image credit: NOAA) Download Image As part of a suite of product improvements for the 2026 hurricane season [PDF], NOAA’s National Hurricane Center (NHC) is implementing two new tropical products and services: a new operational hurricane track cone map, and new storm surge alerts for Hawaii.“These improvements empower communities to prepare earlier and more effectively for dangerous hazards from tropical storms and hurricanes,” said Michael Brennan, director, NOAA’s National Hurricane Center. Improved Tropical Cyclone Forecast ConeThe tropical cyclone graphic helps communities remain vigilant from the dangers posed by wind hazards associated with hurricanes and tropical storms, including in locations away from the coast. In 2026, the forecast cone will now include tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings for inland areas. The additional information follows a successful experimental phase last year, which demonstrated the improved forecast cone enabled inland communities to better understand and prepare for the danger posed by tropical cyclone winds. An example of the 2026 version of the cone graphic for Hurricane Milton (2024) that shows inland watches and warnings.(Image credit: NOAA National Hurricane Center)Download Image What to know about the new cone graphic:Incorporates all land-based (coastal and inland) tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings in effect for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands;Uses single shading for the entire 5-day outlook cone;Legend depicts symbols for areas where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are both in effect (represented by diagonal pink and blue lines); andFull and intermediate Tropical Cyclone Advisories are/will be publicly available on hurricanes.gov.NHC will also be introducing a new experimental version of the NHC’s Tropical Cyclone Track Forecast Cone. Since its debut in 2002, the cone has shown where the tropical cyclone’s forecast center is likely to go, based on past forecast calculations. Beginning in 2026, the experimental cone will use ellipses anchored at each NHC forecast point, allowing for the experimental cone to capture a range of possibilities for both the speed and direction of the tropical cyclone’s forecast path. NHC will experiment changing two aspects of the cone using ellipses (instead of circles) to account for errors in speed and direction, and the cone will include 90% of forecast track possibilities, instead of the traditional 67% forecast error. The experimental cone graphic will be available on hurricanes.gov for full and intermediate advisories. During the experimental phase, technical issues could affect the timeliness or availability of the graphic.New storm surge products for HawaiiThe new products and services for the Hawaiian Islands include storm surge watches and warnings and a peak storm surge graphic. This expands the NHC’s storm surge products and services that are currently serving the U.S. East Coast and Gulf of America coastline, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
