A landslide-induced megatsunami in Greenland

Science In Action

NOTE

As glaciers thin, landslides and tsunamis may follow.

Thinning glaciers, primarily driven by climate change, may lead to increased occurrences of landslides. These landslides can subsequently trigger tsunamis in affected areas. The expectation of more landslide events due to ongoing glacier thinning highlights the urgent need for enhanced instrumentation to monitor these geological changes. Better understanding and tracking of landslides will provide valuable early warning systems, especially for the safety of maritime activities, such as cruise ships operating in vulnerable regions.
