    Researchers Decode Antarctica’s Underwater Tsunamis Triggered by Glacier Calving

    Overview: Why Antarctica’s Underwater Tsunamis Matter An international team led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is investigating a phenomenon that could reshape our understanding of ocean dynamics: how glacier calving around Antarctica potentially triggers powerful underwater tsunamis. While surface calving is a well-observed spectacle, the deeper wave mechanisms and energy transfer into the ocean…
