Three-dimensional (3D) seismic reflection data have recently been shown to be an excellent
tool in the study of submarine mass-transport complexes (MTCs), from which kinematic …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) seismic and outcrop data are used to review the
significance of submarine slide blocks and associated soft-sediment deformation structures …

Landslides represent one of the most destructive natural catastrophes. They can reach
extremely long distances and velocities, and are capable of wiping out human communities …

Submarine landslides pose a hazard to coastal communities as they can generate powerful
tsunamis, and threaten critical offshore infrastructure such as seafloor cable networks that …

Three dimensional seismic data, offshore Brunei, provide evidence for a giant landslide with
a volume of 1200 km3, an area of∼ 5300 km2 and an average thickness of∼ 240 m. It …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the gravity processes and deposits on
continental slope, rise, and abyssal plains. The impact on human infrastructure helps in …

Erosion of the seafloor is often interpreted to be the result of turbidity currents and reflects
their frictional and non-cohesive nature. However, evidence of the interaction between …

No comprehensive scheme yet exists to describe the depositional products of submarine
sediment failures at the scale of piston cores, resulting in misinterpretation of failure deposits …

The source area of a large submarine landslide complex has been imaged in the subsurface
off Angola using 3D seismic data. The 3D seismic data reveal erosional slide scars …

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 …
