A tsunami struck a fjord in East Greenland in 2023, ringing seismometers for nine straight days. A new satellite study ...
As fascinating as bizarre signals from other planets can be—teaching us about earthquakes on Mars or auroras in the skies of Jupiter —sometimes even weirder signals come from weather extremes ...
The Dickson Fjord, about 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) wide and 1,772 feet (540 meters) deep, lies along a remote network of channels on Greenland’s rugged east coast.
A series of "extraordinary" tremors observed across the globe were caused by two tsunamis stranded within a fjord in Greenland, a new study has confirmed. During September and October 2023, the ...
In September 2023, a massive landslide in Greenland's Dickson Fjord triggered a mega-tsunami, sending seismic waves globally for nine days. The 650-foot wave, caused by climate change-induced ...
Dickson Fjord’s narrow, cavity-like geography—measuring about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) wide and 1,772 ft (540 m) deep, with walls soaring over 6,000 ft (1,830 m) acted like a natural resonance chamber.
But what happened in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord in 2023 was a bit different. It wasn’t a regular tsunam, it was something called a seiche. What’s the Difference?
The landslides in Dickson Fjord happened right when SWOT was transitioning to its Science phase, during which it would orbit and survey most of the planet’s surface from an altitude of 890 km ...
The study went on to note that a cause for the pulse could have been that it was struck by a small piece of space rock, known ...
In September 2023, Greenland’s Dickson Fjord experienced a colossal landslide that triggered a 650-foot mega-tsunami, causing the Earth to pulse with rhythmic seismic signals every 90 seconds ...
While scientists were baffled at first but the source was later traced to the remote Dickson Fjord in East Greenland – a narrow inlet that is bordered by 3,000-feet high cliffs.
