This time frame seems linked to the 8.2 kilo-year bond event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.68.244 ( talk) 06:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

The Storegga slides occurred about 7000 yers ago during the Neolithic or New Stone Age. Writing had not been developed and no record exists except in the archaeological and geological columns. Tsunamite - the deposits left by a tsunami, are exposed in many places including Montrose Basin where they are about 0.6 m thick. The Geologist ( talk) 21:06, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand the land slide conclusion. A tsunami may be able to displace water to higher land but - surely - most of this water then recedes again into the sea? Even if we are to assume that the Doggerland area was a basin from which no water could escape, surely, the edges of this basin would not be inundated by a displacement of water? It doesn't seem to make sense. Please explain this in the article. Thanks!!! 213.47.144.254 ( talk) 19:57, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
The Parva Fault, in northern Sweden, formed about 8500 years ago, during deglaciation. Could that upheaval have been linked, to the staggering Storegga Slide ?? http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a918214598 66.235.26.150 ( talk) 07:48, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
The Montrose Basin is a few kilometres inland, rather than the 80km claimed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fivemack ( talk) 16:49, 14 March 2011
The article states that "The Likely Triggering Mechanism" was a combination of an earthquake and melting methane clathrates.

What? How is it even possible that at worst the waves were 20 meters high? That can't be right. Bataaf van Oranje ( talk) 14:16, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

This article states that there were three Storegga slides, but ref 2 at [1] for the statement only refers to one, as does another ref at [2]. Unless there is strong support for multiple slides I suggest that the article should be changed to only say there was one. Dudley Miles ( talk) 10:01, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
The research which says we'd need a new ice age is highly dubious. It was commissioned by the Oil and Gas lobby to say that oil and gas drilling would cause any further slides. It is not supported by the scientific community, who generally regard it as industry whitewashing, and the question as to whether there is more glacial deposits which could be disturbed by drilling is still very much open.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.142.75 ( talk) 13:14, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
