Massivt jordskred utlöste rekordstor tsunami i en fjord i Alaska

Ett enormt jordskred i fjorden Tracy Arm i Alaska den 10 augusti 2025 orsakade den näst största tsunamin som någonsin registrerats, med vågor som nådde en höjd på 481 meter. Händelsen flyttade 64 miljoner kubikmeter sten och skapade en seismisk signal med magnituden 5,4.

Jordskredet inträffade klockan 05.26 när en bergssida ovanför fjorden kollapsade och skickade stenmassor i vattnet i hög hastighet. Detta utlöste en tsunami som färdades fram genom fjorden i minst 70 meter per sekund och skapade en seichevåg som fortsatte att svalla i 36 timmar. Forskare ledda av Dan Shugar vid University of Calgary rekonstruerade senare händelsen med hjälp av satellitbilder, seismiska mätningar, ögonvittnesskildringar och datormodeller.

Magma surge triggers 28,000 earthquakes near Santorini

A massive influx of magma beneath Santorini caused over 28,000 earthquakes in early 2025, according to a new study. Researchers used advanced AI and seafloor sensors to track the molten rock's movement. The findings reveal a previously unknown connection between Santorini and the nearby underwater volcano Kolumbo.

Scientists identify 3,100 surging glaciers posing flood risks

17 april 2026 Rapporterad av AI

An international team led by the University of Portsmouth has cataloged more than 3,100 surging glaciers worldwide that can suddenly accelerate, triggering floods, avalanches and other hazards. These glaciers, concentrated in regions like the Arctic and Karakoram Mountains, affect nearly one-fifth of global glacier area despite comprising just 1 percent of all glaciers. Climate change is altering their behavior, increasing unpredictability.
