Submarine landslide megablocks show half of Anak Krakatau island failed on December 22nd, 2018 [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 The authors here present a detailed reconstruction of the landslide mass following the 2018 eruption of Anak Krakatau. Bathymetry data reports the volume of the collapsed submarine flank to be much larger than previously reported.

Submarine landslide source modeling using the 3D slope stability analysis method for the 2018 Palu, Sulawesi, tsunami [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Studies have indicated that submarine landslides played an important role in the 2018 Sulawesi tsunami event, damaging the coast of Palu Bay in addition to the earthquake source.

Tsunami scenario triggered by a submarine landslide offshore of northern Sumatra Island and its hazard assessment [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Near the northern border of Sumatra, the right-lateral strike–slip Sumatran fault zone splits into two branches and extends into the offshore, as revealed by seismic sounding surveys. However, due to its strike–slip faulting characteristics, the Sumatran

True Volumes of Slope Failure Estimated From a Quaternary Mass‐Transport Deposit in the Northern South China Sea [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Submarine slope failure can mobilize large amounts of seafloor sediment, as shown in varied offshore locations around the world. Submarine landslide volumes are usually estimated by mapping their tops and bases on seismic data.

Climate-controlled submarine landslides on the Antarctic continental margin [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Antarctica’s continental margins pose an unknown submarine landslide-generated tsunami risk to Southern Hemisphere populations and infrastructure. Understanding the factors driving slope failure is essential to assessing future geohazards.

Reciprocal Green's functions and the quick forecast of submarine landslide tsunamis [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Although tsunamis generated by submarine mass failure are not as common as those induced by submarine earthquakes, sometimes the generated tsunamis are higher than a seismic tsunami in the area close to the tsunami source, and the forecast is much more ...

Giant Submarine Landslide in the South China Sea: Evidence, Causes, and Implications
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 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 prodigious submarine landslides remain insufficient.
