Revised Storegga Slide reconstruction reveals two major submarine landslides 12,000 years apart
The tsunami from the Storegga slide 8,150 years ago was caused by a smaller submarine landslide than previously thought, which implies higher hazard in the region, according to analyses of geophysical data and sediment cores that suggest an older origin of part of the scar.
