New research into the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption indicates the volcano’s seafloor collapse was far larger than previously understood, helping explain why the tsunami it generated behaved unlike most quake-driven waves. Scientists say the event is forcing a rethink of tsunami hazard models, especially for submarine volcanoes and other non-earthquake triggers.
New research is reshaping scientific understanding of the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption, showing that the disaster was driven not just by explosive volcanism but by the sudden collapse of a submarine volcano. The finding helps explain why the event generated a far-reaching tsunami and why small undersea volcanoes may pose outsized coastal risks in a warming, hazard-prone world.
