Last year, a massive rockslide in Greenland triggered a local tsunami and global seismic signal that resonated for 9 days! But how does #ClimateChange inform these interactions? @Scripps' @InSeismoland shares more in this new study via @ScienceMagazine. ⬇️

NEW: This time last year, something *big* roared in Greenland—and the entire world shook for nine days. It wasn't an earthquake, eruption, or explosion, or impact. Scientists - with the help of the Danish military - have now found out. Me @QuantaMagazine

Surprisingly little quantitative knowledge on the role of ocean eddies in climate is available – also when it comes to their changes and impact in a warming

In September of last year, Earth rang like a bell for nine days, baffling scientists. Now they’ve finally discovered the source: a mega tsunami in a remote Greenland fjord triggered by a colossal rockslide! My latest @ScienceMagazine

Scientists trace strange seismic signal to landslide that triggered sloshing, 200-meter-tall waves in Greenland

A geologic mystery that has lingered for the past year has finally been solved: What caused an odd cascade of vibrations to ripple across the globe for nine days? https://t.co/iGelD1REO0

Scientists have solved the mystery of a puzzling seismic disturbance. First, there was an avalanche. Then, there was a tsunami.
