Revised Storegga Slide reconstruction reveals two major submarine landslides 12,000 years apart

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
The tsunami from the Storegga slide 8,150 years ago was caused by a smaller submarine landslide than previously thought, which implies higher hazard in the region, according to analyses of geophysical data and sediment cores that suggest an older origin ...

Semi-empirical predictive equations for the initial amplitude of submarine landslide-generated waves: applications to 1994 Skagway and 1998 Papua New Guinea tsunamis

Natural Hazards, 2020
Accurate predictions of maximum initial wave amplitude are essential for coastal impact assessment of tsunami waves generated by submarine landslides. Here, we analyse the existing predictive equations for the maximum initial amplitude ( $$ \eta_{\text ...

Prodigious submarine landslides during the inception and early growth of volcanic islands [PDF]

, 2017
Volcanic island inception applies large stresses as the ocean crust domes in response to magma ascension and is loaded by eruption of lavas. There is currently limited information on when volcanic islands are initiated on the seafloor, and no information

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Extreme Weather Events and Agricultural Total Factor Productivity Growth

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity of the agricultural sector is crucial for food security in a changing climate. This study estimates the impacts of extreme weather events on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of climate change on agriculture.

Ocean-bottom seismometers document how submarine landslides develop and grow

Communications Earth & Environment
Submarine landslides reshape seafloor geomorphology, transport sediment and carbon to the deep-sea, and can trigger tsunamis or damage valuable seabed infrastructure. Yet, submarine landslides have never been directly observed in action. Here, we present

Impact‐Induced Seafloor Deformation From Submarine Landslides: Diagnostic of Slide Velocity?

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Submarine landslides shape continental margins, transfer massive amounts of sediment downslope, and can generate deadly and destructive tsunamis. Submarine landslides are common globally, yet constraining hazard potential of future events is limited by a

Simulation of a Submarine Landslide Using the Coupled Material Point Method

, 2020
Exploring the submarine landslide is challenging due to the invisibility nature and the complex soil-water interaction and large deformation throughout its runout process.

Are large submarine landslides in Polar Regions temporally random, or do current observations and age constraint make it impossible to tell? [PDF]

, 2014
Submarine landslides are one of the major mechanisms through which sediment is transported across our planet, and it has been proposed that they can generate exceptionally damaging tsunamis. Polar margins represent one of the environmental settings where
