A September 2023 landslide in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord unleashed a 650-foot mega-tsunami that produced a nine‑day, worldwide seismic pulse detected across oceans; satellite data and models linked the event to fjord geometry and ice loss, highlighting how next‑gen satellites like SWOT can improve Arctic warning systems.
In 2023, mysterious seismic signals from Dickson Fjord in Greenland were finally identified as a seiche caused by a landslide triggered by a tsunami, thanks to high-resolution data from NASA's SWOT satellite, illustrating the power of advanced satellite technology in studying Earth's weather phenomena.
Scientists confirmed that a giant megatsunami caused by melting glaciers in Greenland generated a standing wave, or seiche, that oscillated for days, using new high-precision satellite data from the SWOT mission, resolving a long-standing mystery about seismic signals from remote oceanic events.
Scientists used advanced satellite technology to directly observe trapped waves caused by mega tsunamis in Greenland's fjord, confirming theories about seismic signals linked to landslides triggered by warming glaciers, highlighting the impact of climate change on remote oceanic phenomena.
