But not the climate change that is happening today but the climate change that happened in the distant past. This means that there is a potential for such giant underwater landslides to happen again as climate change continues its march unabated. “We need to better understand the extent of the weak layers that sit beneath the submarine landslides in Antarctica that make this area unstable. We also need to better understand exactly how climate is influencing the triggering of these submarine landslides.
