The physics of gas chimney and pockmark formation, with implications for assessment of seafloor hazards and gas sequestration
LM Cathles, Z Su, D Chen - Marine and petroleum Geology, 2010 - Elsevier
Pockmarks form where fluids discharge through seafloor sediments rapidly enough to make
them quick, and are common where gas is present in near-seafloor sediments. This paper …

Nucleation of slip‐weakening rupture instability in landslides by localized increase of pore pressure
We model landslide initiation as slip surface growth driven by locally elevated pore
pressure, with particular reference to submarine slides. Assuming an elastic medium and …
