Abstract
Geophysics Underwater landslides are an underappreciated source of dangerous tsunamis, and the conditions that create them are not well understood. Lovholt et al. developed a landslide model to simulate a few geologically recent underwater events and assess the differences in tsunami potential. They found that differences in the failure mechanisms could potentially explain the differences in tsunami genesis between similar-sized events. This includes the possibility that very large underwater mass transfers may not produce a tsunami at all. Geophys. Res. Lett. 10.1002/2017GL074062 (2017).
