Study finds rapid caldera collapse amplified Hunga's tsunami

Researchers publish findings arguing that the rapid collapse of the Hunga caldera may have enhanced the massive tsunami by pulling seawater down as the seafloor dropped abruptly. The study demonstrates that even a relatively small caldera—Hunga is one of the smallest among 177 known calderas globally—can produce dangerous tsunamis depending on collapse speed and geometry.

“The dynamics of submarine caldera-forming eruptions and, thus, the hazards they pose are not well understood, owing to the relative inaccessibility of the resulting calderas and eruption products.”
