GUARDIAN Detects Tsunami Waves Faster Than Gauges

NASA's experimental GUARDIAN system detected ionospheric disturbances from the magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake on July 29, 2025, and tracked the resulting tsunami across the Pacific. GUARDIAN's AI flagged an incoming wave off Kauai 32 minutes before tide gauges, scanning more than 350 GNSS ground stations and offering a cost-effective complement to ocean-floor sensors for earlier warnings.
