Summary[edit]
| Description |
Deutsch: Übersichtskarte über den Icy Bay Tsunami
English: Changes in Taan Fiord. Tyndall Glacier retreated at an increasing pace through the late 20th century until it stabilized in 1991, at approximately the location of the current terminus. The slope failure in October 2015 entered the recently deglaciated fjord at the calving front, generating a tsunami that swept the coast to a height of 193 m. Seismic inversion completed within hours of the event produced an accurate picture of initial motion and a rough location, but could not determine whether the landslide had set off a tsunami. In 2016, marine surveys revealed tens of meters thick blocky submarine runout extending several kilometers28. Only the more proximal blocks form submarine hillocks, while more distant ones are buried beneath one or possibly two post-landslide turbidites28. Field surveys mapped runup, selected examples of which are presented here. Map created with QGIS 2.18 (http://www.qgis.org/en/site/). |
