Last Year A 600-Foot Mega-Tsunami Hit Greenland — And Researchers Had No Idea It Happened
Although landslide-tsunamis have been recorded before, the one in September 2023 was the first ever seen in east Greenland, an area that had appeared immune to these catastrophic climate change-induced events.
'Mega-tsunami' caused by huge landslide made the Earth vibrate for 9 days
The Earth vibrated for nine straight days in a row, and this incredible natural occurrence took place as the result of an enormous landslide. The event in Greenland unleashed a seismic signal that initially baffled scientists when it took place in September 2023.
New study explains why tsunami signals last year in Greenland lasted for days
In a paper published last week in Science magazine, researchers describe how a tsunami became trapped inside Dickson Fjord, Greenland, in September 2023 after a mountaintop collapsed. The resulting wave, which scientists measured up to 200 metres high, sloshed back and forth in the deep-water fjord in a phenomenon known as a seiche.
A Mysterious Seismic Signal Lasted Nine Days Last Year. It Was a Mega-Tsunami Caused by Climate Change, Researchers Say
A melting glacier caused a mountain in Greenland to collapse into a narrow fjord, setting off an oscillating wave that rattled seismic detectors around the world
Catastrophic Landslide in Greenland's Dickson Fjord Triggers Mega-Tsunami
In the remote Dickson Fjord in northeastern Greenland, a catastrophic event occurred that resonated globally. The top of a mountain collapsed, causing a massive landslide that generated
Mega-Tsunami Led to Nine-Day Earthquake in 2023
Learn about the massive 2023 landslide and mega-tsunami in Greenland that led to a nine-day worldwide earthquake.
Mysterious seismic event that shook the earth for 9 days was triggered by a 650-foot tsunami in Greenland, researchers say
A tsunami stemming from a landslide was behind a surprising seismic event last year that shook the earth for nine days, researchers said.
650-Foot High Megatsunami in Greenland Sends Seismic Waves Worldwide
In September 2023, a megatsunami in Greenland triggered seismic waves worldwide, caused by a landslide in Dickson Fjord. The event generated two seismic signals: a high-energy signal from the landslide and a long-lasting VLP signal from a seiche in the fjord.
Huge landslide unleashed ‘mega-tsunami’ that caused Earth to vibrate for nine days
A massive landslide triggered by climate change unleashed a 650-foot “mega-tsunami” that caused Earth to vibrate for nine days.
A landslide triggered a 650-foot mega-tsunami in Greenland. Then came something inexplicable
It started with a melting glacier that set off a huge landslide, which triggered a 650-foot high mega-tsunami in Greenland last September. Then came something inexplicable: a mysterious vibration that shook the planet for nine days.
Scientists Intrigued by Detection of 650-Foot Mega-Tsunami
Neptune's Wrath Last September, scientists the world over detected an inexplicable seismic vibration that shook the planet for nine days straight — too long to be a mere earthquake. The detection was so unprecedented that at the time,
