It started with a melting glacier, which set off a landslide, which triggered a 650-foot high mega-tsunami in Greenland. Then came something inexplicable.

A colossal rockslide that triggered a mega-tsunami caused the Earth to ‘hum’ for days, an event scientists say is directly linked to climate crisis

The scale of the geological event is like something from prehistoric times, with a tsunami 200 meters--656 feet--in height. But it happened last year. Researchers warn that similar events may reoccur.

Earthquake scientists detected an unusual signal on monitoring stations used to detect seismic activity during September 2023. We saw it on sensors everywhere, from the Arctic to Antarctica. We were baffled—the signal was unlike any previously recorded.

A landslide in 2023 caused a nine-day earthquake, and now scientists finally understand exactly what happened.

A recent study has revealed a remarkable seismic event caused by a massive landslide in Greenland, underscoring the profound effects of climate change on Earth’s geological systems. In September 2023,

When seismometers around the world showed the earth was vibrating for nine days last September, experts were left puzzled. It was unheard of for a seismic wave with one frequency to travel so far and for this long.
