Millions have been watching 'La Palma' on Netflix, featuring a tsunami washing over the Canary Islands. That's a scenario with a lot of science behind it, given the risk of collapse of a flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano. Check out the ocean model simulation of Abadie et al: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2011JC007646
The tsunami waves would seriously impact North Africa as well as Spain and Portugal, and even travel rapidly across the Atlantic to hit the US coast, as illustrated in this video animation. Nobody knows when this will happen, next year or in a thousand? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6utAunBKXV4&t=199s
@andreas1 @rahmstorf I'd be interested to know the counterarguments to the points in this paper.
@pieist @rahmstorf what I recall: one big slide is unlikely, propagation is much less, and the shelf is more stable than stated earlier.
@andreas1 @rahmstorf
Yes, I meant I'd be interested to know if counterarguments have been made to the points in the one you posted.
@pieist @rahmstorf they are listed on the link I shared, it reads like an explicit answer to the paper. I'd rather refer to that than my amateurish understanding.
