A rockslide-generated tsunami in a Greenland fjord rang the Earth for 9 days
- Abstract:
-
Climate change is increasingly predisposing polar regions to large landslides. Tsunamigenic landslides have occurred recently in Greenland, but none have been reported from the eastern fjords. In September 2023, we detected the start of a 9-day-long global 10.88 mHz (92 s) monochromatic very long-period (VLP) seismic signal, originating from East Greenland. We demonstrate how this event started with a 25×106 m3 glacial thinning-induced rock-ice avalanche plunging into Dickson Fjord, triggerin...
