A massive landslide in remote Greenland sent Earth vibrating for nine straight days, unleashing a mysterious seismic signal that left scientists scrambling for answers.. The landslide, which took ...
In June 2017, a tsunami in northwest Greenland killed four people and washed away houses. The threat goes beyond Greenland, Svennevig said; similar-shaped fjords exist in other regions, including ...
A tsunami stemming from a landslide was behind a surprising seismic event last year that shook the earth for nine days, researchers said. Mysterious 9-day seismic event triggered by 650-foot ...
On 16 September 2023, a significant landslide, consisting primarily of ice and rock, occurred in Dickson Fjord, triggering a 200-meter-high tsunami. However, the tsunami was not immediately observed due to a seiche formation. A seiche is a standing wave oscillating back and forth within a confined body of water, such as a fjord.
A magnitude 7.6-7.7 earthquake struck near the coast of western Mexico on 19 September 2022. A tsunami about 1.75 m (5.7 ft) high was reported near the epicentre. [209] The tsunami was detected as far away as Ecuador, where tsunami waves as high as 12 cm (4.7 in) were observed. [210] 2023 Greenland 2023 Greenland landslide: Landslide
[3] [4] [5] Svennevig et al. (2024) recreated the dynamics of the landslide using the available seismic data and estimate it achieved a peak velocity of 42 meteres per second. [5] The initial failure triggering the landslide was 150 m thick, 480 m wide and 600 m long, made of a large block of metamorphic rock. [5]
A 650-foot tsunami in Greenland was the result of melting glacial ice that caused a landslide. The waves it created bounced back and forth for nine days.
