Landslide-induced tsunamis are generated when mass-scale failures, including subaerial and submarine landslides, abruptly displace water and initiate tsunami waves. These events have captured ...

The seismic event in a remote part of Greenland last September saw the giant wave repeatedly slosh back and forth across a fjord – generating vibrations around the world, say scientists. A new study, ...

Vessels are lined up in Whittier's harbor on July 16, 2025. The harbor look out onto western Prince WIlliam Sound, which is packed with melting glaciers and narrow fjords, where steep slopes are at ...

(a) Map of the Cascadia subduction zone offshore Oregon with seismic line 15 from cruise RR1718 that was used in this study. Red stars represent locations of Site 174 from DSDP Leg 18 (Shipboard ...

A tsunami is a series of waves generated by a large and sudden displacement of the ocean. Large earthquakes below or near the ocean floor are the most common cause, but landslides, volcanic activity, ...

In 2007, a massive landslide crashed into B.C.'s Lake Chehalis, triggering a tsunami that surged 38 metres up the shore — one ...

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 ...

Move over earthquakes, tsunamis have taken center stage. I will acknowledge the largest magnitude earthquake since 2011, but the Kamchatka M8.8 did little shaking damage and the tsunami was the bigger ...

A massive landslide in remote Greenland sent the Earth vibrating for nine straight days, unleashing a mysterious seismic signal that left scientists scrambling for answers. The landslide, which took ...
