The need for a paradigm shift in subaerial landslide-tsunami research (2020)
Conference Proceeding

Subaerial landslide-tsunamis (SLTs) are caused by mass movements such as landslides, rock falls or glacier calving. Research into SLTs is ongoing for many decades, however, the advancement in the physical understanding and reliability of hazard asses...

Large-scale investigation into iceberg-tsunamis generated by various iceberg calving mechanisms (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Mass balance analysis of ice sheets is a key component to understand the effects of global warming with iceberg calving as a significant contributor. Calving recently generated tsunamis of up to 50 m in amplitude endangering huma... Read More about Large-scale investigation into iceberg-tsunamis generated by various iceberg calving mechanisms.

Numerical modelling of tsunamis generated by iceberg calving validated with large-scale laboratory experiments (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd When calving icebergs interact with water, waves of tens of meters in height, so-called iceberg-tsunamis (IBTs), may be generated. Recent examples include an IBT which reached an amplitude of 45 to 50 m in Eqip Sermia, Greenland,...

Grain Reynolds number scale effects in dry granular slides (2020)
Journal Article

©2020. The Authors. Scale effects are differences in physical behavior that manifest between a large event and a geometrically scaled laboratory model and may cause misleading predictions. This study focuses on scale effects in granular slides, impor... Read More about Grain Reynolds number scale effects in dry granular slides.
