This study is a review of Quaternary Milankovitch cycles as recorded on modern continental
shelves worldwide. On the background of the many existing examples, we focus on selected …

Destructive tsunamis are most often generated by large earthquakes occurring at subduction
interfaces, but also other “atypical” sources—defined as crustal earthquakes and non …

Mass-transport deposits (MTDs) are gravity-induced units that represent an important
component of modern and ancient deep-water stratigraphic successions. MTDs have been …

The terms mélange and broken formation have been used in different ways in the literature.
The lack of agreement on their definition often leads to confusion and misinterpretations. An …

Submarine hydrocarbon seeps are geologically driven" hotspots" of increased biological
activity on the seabed. As part of the HERMES project, several sites of natural hydrocarbon …

Submarine mass‐transport deposits are important in many ancient and modern basins.
Mass‐transport deposits can play a significant role in exploration as reservoir, seal or source …

Depositional systems accumulating under the combined influence of along-slope currents
and downslope sediment-gravity flows are frequent in several continental margins. Despite …

Submarine landslides can be tremendous in scale. They are one of the most important
processes for global sediment fluxes and tsunami generation. However, studies of …

Detailed geological mapping, complemented by sedimentary facies analysis, photomosaics
and topographic measurements (height, width) allowed the investigation of the …

Landslides associated with flank collapse are volumetrically the most significant sediment
transport process around volcanic islands. Around Montserrat, in the Lesser Antilles …
