Seismic amplitude response to internal heterogeneity of mass-transport deposits [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2023 Compared to unfailed sediments, mass-transport deposits are often characterised by a low-amplitude response in single-channel seismic reflection images. This “acoustic transparency” amplitude signature is widely used to delineate mass-transport deposits ...

Trench sediment heterogeneity controls accretion mechanisms in subduction zone [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTrench basins related to an almost entirely subducted oceanic lithosphere are filled by deposits sourced from either the passive continental margin or the accretionary wedge.

Submarine mass wasting and associated tsunami risk offshore western Thailand, Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 2-D seismic data from the top and the western slope of Mergui Ridge in water depths between 300 and 2200 m off the Thai west coast have been investigated in order to identify mass transport deposits (MTDs) and evaluate the tsunamigenic potential of ...

Radiolarian assemblage from radiolarites of the Krš Gradac section (SW Serbia): On the way to a better reconstruction of the Middle-Late Jurassic geodynamic history of the Inner Dinarides [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023 The type section of the Gonje Formation (Krš Gradac, Sjenica area) is characterized by an abundance of radiolarian tests, which, however, are gene rally recrystallized and poorly preserved.

From shallow-water carbonate ramp to hemipelagic deep-marine carbonate deposition: Part 1. General characteristics, microfacies and depositional history of the Middle to Late Anisian Bulog sedimentary succession in the Inner Dinarides (SW Serbia) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023 The opening of the Neo‐Tethys started in the Middle Anisian and is recorded in the drowning succession of the shallow‐water Ravni/Steinalm Carbonate Ramp and the subsequent deposition of deep‐marine limestones, e.g., the red nodular limestones of the ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Rock falls and landslides plunging into lakes or small reservoirs can result in tsunamis with extreme wave run-ups. The occurrence of these natural hazards in populated areas have encouraged a recent sharp increase of studies that aim to mitigate their ...

Petrophysics of fine-grained mass-transport deposits: A critical review [PDF]
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2020 Submarine slope failures and their products occur at variable scales on continental margins and island flanks. Here, we review the petrophysics of fine-grained mass-transport deposits (MTDs) from three representative regions: the Ulleung Basin from offshore Korea, the Ursa Region in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Amazon Fan in the Equatorial Brazil.

Styles of basal interaction beneath mass transport deposits [PDF]
Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2018 Abstract 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 sediment gravity-flows and the substrate forming the sea floor has been increasingly reported in the literature.
