65 million years ago a 10 km diameter asteroid struck the Gulf of Mexico. Of the many consequences of the impact, this video simulates the expected tsunami. Paleogeographic map by
C. R. Scotese. The movie revisits and updates a previous You Tube "Chicxulub Tsunami.mov".

It would make waves as high as it's depth anywhere, with asteroids that big. If it hit the Mariana Trench, you'd get 39000+ ft waves at the source. Given how little energy was lost as it traveled the ocean here, it would drown the globe except for maybe the highest peaks on each continent.

Finally, I've found this wonderful channel again. I used to watch these videos in my aunt's phone back on early to mid 2010s when I was a kid because the simulations amazed me (coupled with my obsession for geography back then) even though the equations and explanations makes no sense to my younger self. Through time however, I slowly forgot the existence of this videos. Lately, I remembered them back again although I can't remember the channel's name.

From what I've heard recently, it was the "ballistic ejecta" that really put the nail in the coffin. Even life on the opposite side of the globe couldn't escape. When that much material came back down, the atmosphere heated to oven-like temperatures. Nothing above ground or out of the ocean was unaffected.

Big fan of your content :) If its an interesting way to go, could you run a simulation on what would have happened if Chicxulub hit the Mariana Trench? I saw one other channel talk about this possibility and....I wanna see the devastation via simulation :p Also I wanna know....what software do you generally use to create these scenarios?
Thank you for such a detailed simulation ( backed by the equations ). I've run through this a few times now, and it gives such a good picture of the chain of events from so many different aspects and vantage points. Truly excellent ( and fascinating ) modeling of the event.
Can you simulate what would happen if across the mid Gulf of Aqaba was separated at the 700 meter depth level into two walls of water apart by 100 meters. All the way down to the sea floor. Then suddenly released to crash together? What would the recoil be like?
YES! Damn, i thought you was going to be gone for a year again
Have you published a paper regarding the modeling, I think it's really interesting regarding the model and the paper could be built upon by future research to have a compressive understanding of this impact an potentially future impacts.

Hey, really cool video, man! I especially enjoyed how you displayed the math for kinetic energy, as well as the run-up heights across the globe. The tsunami aspect of Chicxulub never really occurred to me. I've always focused on the atmospheric impact, but the fact that ~10m run-ups were reaching the then-hidden corners of Africa is certainly not a joke!
Very nice simulation - though one detail that is definitely not correct is the speed, or shape of the pressure wave. As a shock wave, it'd have a very sharp leading edge in terms of pressure, and relatively quickly and exponentially decay back to ambient pressure afterwards, not the triangle wave you modeled. And a very strong shockwave like this one moves faster than the speed of sound - in air, a shockwave with a 3.5 atm (~50 psi) overpressure will be travelling at twice the speed of sound, and there will be a wind blowing outwards at (just behind the shockwave) ~0.6 times the speed of sound behind it. I am guessing especially the shockwave travelling faster would weaken the coupling between shockwave and tsunami even further compared to your simulation, though the different shape of the pressure field might enhance it.

That was really cool. Recently I’ve learned about the Carolina bays the story goes that a meteor hit near Ottawa and blasted a plume of ice chunks into the atmosphere at low earth orbit and they crashed down into the east coast and created these bays in the Carolina’s? But this was neat to see, do you think the ocean swell into the Mediterranean ocean could have caused a back flow event in Northern Africa or the Nile delta region?

Hi, could you run a simulation of the impact of the mega-tsunami from La Palma in Recife, a city in the northeast of Brazil with around 4 million people in its metro area, and made in very very low terrain, most taken from the rivers and sea. Recife was founded by the Dutch when they occupied the region in the XVII century “imitating” their own low lands. The curiosity is that Recife has the first synagogue in the Americas and the jews explelled together with the Dutch migrated to North America and helped to found New Amsterdam/New York.

Can you do a simulation of an impact on the ice of an ice age glacier? What happens when 2 kilometers of ice are the impact site? Thinking specifically of the younger dryas impact hypothesis. There are no good models that take into account the properties of ice. Thanks

Or better yet, model out the Siberian Traps that caused the Permian extinction
Is there any way you can simulate the meteorological effects of the impact. Considering it was a massive impact in water I can imagine super heated water would cause some crazy storms to developed.
