Nevada Appeal - News: "Coming off a ground-breaking Tahoe tsunami research year, scientists are planning for a new season of underwater science, one they hope will pinpoint the date of a past monster wave.

Along the way they will investigate the potential for a tsunami in Tahoe's future, including analyzing the strength and stability of steep rock walls along the lake, which could collapse and cause another huge wave.

Last year, scientists believed they found definitive proof that a huge landslide caused approximately 100-foot waves to wash over what is now Tahoe City, sometime within the last 20,000 years or so."
