For now, the team will need to continue to analyze to learn more about the megatsunami, as Carrillo-Ponce explained, “While we were able to obtain information on the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the landslide, we do not have data to investigate the original cause of the landslide.”
In the meantime, the researchers explained that the quality data they get from stations in Germany, Alaska, North America, and more could allow them to study other past events and learn about their possible link to climate change.
The VLP signals detected from this event are usually caused by glacial collapse, but the fact that this massive landslide led to such a significant tsunami is important information that will better help us understand the different sources and causes for these kinds of megatsunami events.
