Before and after the massive landslide that dumped 33 million cubic meters of ice and rock into a Greenland fjord, triggering a 650-foot-high ‘megatsunami’ that shook the Earth for nine days. Dr. Kristian Svennevig and his colleagues, who studied deeper about the cause and effects of the event, now believe that climate change set the stage for these landslides by melting a glacier at the base of the mountain and destabilizing enough ice and rock to fill 10,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. As global temperature rise melts Earth’s polar regions, devastating landslides like this one could become more common. The research … Continue reading 650-Foot Greenland Mega-Tsunami Triggered Fueled by Climate Change, Shaking Earth for 9 Days and Baffling Scientists
