An earthquake in the eastern Aleutian Trench big enough to generate a massive
tsunami like the one in the study is expected to occur once every thousand years, meaning that there is a 0.1 percent chance of it happening in any given year — the same probability as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that struck Japan, according to Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach,

Specifically, the team observed the height of waves near the coast, and
studied the limitations and possible improvements of the existing system of
tsunami warnings and advisories.
