Conference Proceeding
Heller, V., Attili, T., Chen, F., Brühl, M., Gabl, R., & Fuchs, H. (2019). Large-scale Experiments of Tsunamis Generated by Iceberg Calving. . https://doi.org/10.3850/38WC092019-0800

Iceberg calving at outlet glaciers contributes to global sea-level rise in the context of climate change. This study investigates tsunamis generated by iceberg calving, so-called iceberg-tsunamis. Such tsunamis reached amplitudes of 50 m in the recen... Read More about Large-scale Experiments of Tsunamis Generated by Iceberg Calving.

Numerical modelling of landslide-tsunami propagation in a wide range of idealised water body geometries (2019)
Journal Article
Ruffini, G., Heller, V., & Briganti, R. (2019). Numerical modelling of landslide-tsunami propagation in a wide range of idealised water body geometries. Coastal Engineering, 153, Article 103518. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2019.103518

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Large landslide-tsunamis are caused by mass movements such as landslides or rock falls impacting into a water body. Research of these phenomena is essentially based on the two idealised water body geometries (i) wave flume (2D, l...

Large-scale experiments into the tsunamigenic potential of different iceberg calving mechanisms (2019)
Journal Article
Heller, V., Chen, F., Brühl, M., Gabl, R., Chen, X., Wolters, G., & Fuchs, H. (2019). Large-scale experiments into the tsunamigenic potential of different iceberg calving mechanisms. Scientific Reports, 9(1), Article 861. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-36634-3

Mass balance analysis of ice sheets is a key component to understand the effects of global warming. A significant component of ice sheet and shelf mass balance is iceberg calving, which can generate large tsunamis endangering human beings and coastal...
