It feels SO good to be home BigD! The ground is covered in snow and it's coming down heavy. I'm truly loving every second of it : )

Opening a week's worth of mail (mostly bills) isn't so much fun, but nothing can bring me down right now hf

Killing off the Canary Islands landslide megatsunami scare

...text that says:

“A colossal wave caused by a chunk of rock the size of the Isle of Man breaking off La Palma in the Canary Islands, will one day devastate Southern Europe and the entire East coast of America. Scientists believe this disaster is already way overdue. When it does come, it will cause a mega tsunami that will hit with the power of an atomic bomb travelling at the speed of a jumbo jet. Starting off at 2000ft, the giant wave will still be 150ft high by the time it reaches the other side of the Atlantic, destroying everything in its wake and affecting up to 100 million people.”

Given the ridiculousness of this sort of statement (and there are worse examples out there), it is good to see a new paper that erodes the case for the megatsunami still further. This paper, Hunt et al. (2013) has just been published in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (sadly the article is behind a paywall). The paper presents a very detailed analysis of the deposits left on the sea floor by Canary Island flank collapses. The research is meticulous and comprehensive. The authors note that the sea floor deposits record eight volcanic flank collapse events, the largest of which was about 350 cubic kilometres. However, the key element is that each deposit is formed from a series of subunits, each of which can be clearly differentiated from other subunits based on the geochemistry of the materials that they contain. So, the interpretation by the authors, which sounds very sensible to me, is that each subunit represents a different phase of the collapse event. In other words, each of these major collapses did not occur as a single, coherent block, but as a series of sections one after the other. If you want an analogy, then what better example than the famous 1993 Pantai Remis landslide in Malaysia:



The implications are clear. Previous flank collapses have occurred as a series of distinct events rather than as a su=ingle coherent block. Each of these could have been able to generate a very large wave, and even a local tsunami. However, they would not have generated a megatsunami. There is no reason to believe that a future event will behave differently, so this scare should be consigned to the garbage can once and for all.

Remember keep an eye on Mt. Pelee and Mt. Vesuvius. If they erupt, then within three months California will be hit with a 10.5 earthquake.

According to Edgar Cayce.

Unless of course we have the big one sooner.
