A group of scientists from the University of Washington conducted experiments in Homer this winter to better understand how fiber optic cables could be used to detect seismic activity in Cook Inlet. While the research is ongoing, scientists hope the results could lead to improved early warning systems.

Researchers want to place 11 seismometers on the western Kenai Peninsula, between Homer and Kenai, to learn more about the earth below.

Alaskans from across Southcentral reported light shaking on the U.S. Geological Survey’s “Did You Feel It?” site. But seismologist Michael West said quakes like these happen every week in Alaska — they usually just occur in more isolated areas.

Scientists have come a long way in understanding tsunamis but still have questions to answer to avoid tragedies and devastation in the future.
