TOKYO, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Researchers in Japan say they've created a map of the tsunami generated by the deadly March 11 earthquake, surveying 5,300 spots along the country's coast.
The tsunami that devastated large areas of coastal eastern Japan, traveling more than 3 miles inland and killing more than15,000 people, has now been mapped in detail for the first time, researchers report in the journal Geophysical Researcher Letters.
