The Generation of Waves by a Landslide: Skagway, Alaska—A Case Study
The response of Skagway Harbor to wave events after a landslide is reported. A harbor response model is developed for the moored-floating docks response to incident waves and the parting of the mooring chains observed at Skagway. An impulsive wave generated by a simple motion of a section of the coast induced groups of complex waves composed of a wide range of frequencies. The frequency content of the transient waves generated by the boundary motion is dependent on location. Different forms of boundary motion generates similar spectral energy distributions at the same location in the harbor. The damage to the floating ferry dock observed at Skagway occurred due to the combined effect of mooring dynamics and the frequency content of the waves.
