Sensitive scientific instruments, so-called seismometers, can be used to record vibrations that ring the Earth. The instruments usually measure the seismic waves, which are generated during ...

In a remote corner of East Greenland, a section of mountain gave way, collapsing into a narrow glacial fjord bounded by steep cliffs and long untouched by significant disturbance. The resulting impact ...

After seismologists detected abnormal vibrations, they determined that a 650-foot tsunami had occurred in Greenland. The tsunami was the result of melting glacial ice, which caused a landslide that ...

Data on a fjord in the country revealed extreme sloshing in the channel, caused by a rockslide felt around the world. Reading time 2 minutes A satellite flying over Greenland last year captured an ...

When a slab of rock crashed into a remote Greenland fjord, it did more than send water racing up the valley walls. The collapse triggered a 650-foot mega-tsunami that set the entire planet ringing ...

A little over a year ago, seismic instruments across the planet picked up an unprecedented signal of unknown origin for which, until recently, no scientific explanation had been discovered. Dickson ...

In September 2023, a megatsunami in remote eastern Greenland sent seismic waves around the world, piquing the interest of the global research community. The event created a week-long oscillating wave ...

New research demonstrates shipborne navigation systems have potential to improve tsunami detection and warning. Landslide-generated tsunamis pose a serious risk to coastal communities, particularly ...
