I scanned the related research link page, curious if any artifacts have been uncovered indicating exposure in the distant past but the content seems to not cover that question or I missed it.
According to Wiki[1] and UC San Diego's website[2], this was actually a 650 ft tsunami. The location probably helped for the wave's height. Per the same article, it's far from the biggest ever theorized but in a good position in the biggest ever recorded.
The mineral and gas resources are one thing, but it's a pittance compared to the real reason America wants it.
With a melted Arctic sea route, control over the Arctic becomes incredibly strategic. It becomes most optimal shipping route in the world and quickly connects Europe, Asia, and North America. You really want to have your navy there.
China covets Taiwan because of naval strategy more than any other reason. This is the same reason America wants Greenland. It isn't Trump that wants it so bad, it's the DoD.
Look at China's posture on and dealings with Greenland. They really want to be there, and for good reason.

Easily mined ? That is a shame for those areas, no wonder Trump wants to invade the Arctic Areas :(

"Hmmmm, what if we cause global warming and melt the ice". It's been a plot all along.
We already have bases on Greenland and had them since at least WW2. Trump is doing everything he can to alienate our long term allies.
I expect eventually Denmark will tell us to remove all our bases from Greenland before Trump is gone.
