SRTM, Landsat-7 Data Used to Evaluate Likelihood of Earthquakes at Kodiak Island

UPDATE:

Coast Guard initiates seismic risk study, and National Missile Defense Agency drafts environmental impact study for the Kodiak Launch Facility area, based in part on the information from the NASA work done at Narrow Cape, as reported in last month’s Science Highlight. The environmental study includes risk assessment from seismic and possible related tsunami activity.
