\nPublished\u00a0September 6, 2018<\/strong>\u00a0(News release<\/a> from Nature Research Press)
\nThe October 17, 2015, landslide at the toe of Tyndall Glacier, which sent 180 million tonnes of rock into Taan Fiord, Alaska, affected two\u00a0square kilometres\u00a0of land onshore, but the resulting tsunami affected more than 20 square\u00a0kilometres, with the wave runup reaching 193 metres. The field observations provide a benchmark for modelling landslide and tsunami hazards, and call attention to an indirect effect of climate change that may be increasing the frequency and magnitude of natural hazards near glaciated mountains
