Storegga (Norwegian: Great Edge) is located at the edge of Norway's continental shelf in the Norwegian Sea, 100 km (62 mi) north-west of the Møre coast. In around 6200 BCE, structural failures of the shelf caused three underwater landslides, which triggered very large tsunamis in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Storegga slides, series of submarine landslides in the Norwegian Sea that occurred between approximately 8,400 and 2,200 years ago. The combined activities of these landslides produced a scar on the seafloor that begins some 100 km (60 miles) off Norway’s More Coast on …

2005年8月1日 · Coastal fen- and lake deposits enclose sand layers that record at least three Holocene tsunamis at the Shetland Islands. The oldest is the well-known Storegga tsunami (ca 8100 cal yr BP), which at the Shetlands invaded coastal lakes and ran up peaty hillsides where it deposited sand layers up to 9.2 m above present high tide level.

2020年7月15日 · We present evidence of a tsunami deposit in the southern North Sea at the head of a palaeo-river system that has been identified using seismic survey. The evidence, based on lithostratigraphy, geochemical signatures, macro and microfossils and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA), supported by optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon ...

2021年12月6日 · Around 8,200 years ago, a massive multi-phase submarine landslide (the Storegga Slide) off the continental shelf of Central Norway caused a tsunami to hit the coastlines of west Norway, Scotland, and around the southern North Sea basin. This was seemingly the largest tsunami event to hit this area since at least the beginning of the Holocene.

Giant submarine landslides in the Storegga area on the continental slope west of Norway took place on at least three occassions during the Late Quaternary. This paper provides a summary of present knowledge regarding tsunamis generated as a result of the Storegga Slides.

2020年12月1日 · Around 8150 BP, the Storegga tsunami struck North-west Europe. The size of this wave has led many to assume that it had a devastating impact upon contemporaneous Mesolithic communities, including the final inundation of Doggerland, the now submerged Mesolithic North Sea landscape.

2023年2月28日 · The Storegga Slide is the largest known exposed submarine landslide in the world, which triggered a tsunami that inundated the coasts of northern Europe ~8,150 years ago....

2024年10月3日 · The Storegga slide tsunami (SST) at ca. 8100 ± 100–250 cal BP is known to be the largest tsunami that affected the North Sea during the entire Holocene. Geological traces of tsunami landfall were discovered along the coasts of Norway, Scotland, England, Denmark, the Faroes and Shetland Islands.
