Extreme geophysical events such as asteroid impacts and giant landslides can generate megatsunamis with wave heights considerably higher than those observed for other forms of tsunamis. In this paper, we review recent advances in the study of mega-tsunamis in the geological record, focusing on well-documented examples that have captured particular attention over the past decade. We provide up-to-date background on the source mechanisms of tsunami generation during asteroid impacts and ocean-island landslides, which are the largest landslides on Earth. We also discuss the main sources of uncertainty for modelling such mega-tsunamis, and for addressing associated hazards.

“…The characteristic three-point star morphology of El Hierro is a result of several enormous flank collapses ( Figure 1). Until now, seven debris avalanches have been identified: Tiñor (<880 ka), Las Playas I (545-176 ka), Las Playas II (176-145 ka), El Julan (>158 ka), El Golfo A (176-133 ka), El Golfo B (87-39 ka), and Punta del Norte (unknown age) [27,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

3D Dilatometer Time-Series Analysis for a Better Understanding of the Dynamics of a Giant Slow-Moving Landslide

This paper presents a methodological approach to the time-series analysis of movement monitoring data of a large slow-moving landslide. It combines different methods of data manipulation to decrease the subjectivity of a researcher and provides a fully quantitative approach for analyzing large amounts of data. The methodology was applied to 3D dilatometric data acquired from the giant San Andrés Landslide on El Hierro in the Canary Islands in the period from October 2013 to April 2019. The landslide is a creeping volcanic flank collapse showing a decrease of speed of movement during the monitoring period. Despite the fact that clear and unambiguous geological interpretations cannot be made, the analysis is capable of showing correlations of the changes of the movement with increased seismicity and, to some point, with precipitation. We consider this methodology being the first step in automatizing and increasing the objectivity of analysis of slow-moving landslide monitoring data.
