Submarine landslides: processes, triggers and hazard prediction
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2006Huge landslides, mobilizing hundreds to thousands of km 3 of sediment and rock are ubiquitous in submarine settings ranging from the steepest volcanic island slopes to the gentlest muddy slopes of submarine deltas.

Submarine landslide deposits in orogenic belts: Olistostromes and sedimentary mélanges
2020Olistostrome and sedimentary mélange are two synonymous genetic terms referring to the “fossil” products of ancient submarine mass‐transport processes exhumed in orogenic belts. Lithology, stratigraphy, lithification degree, and structural anatomy of these units reflect the synergic and combined action of different mass‐transport processes leading to ...

An examination of ancient and contemporary submarine landslides and their impact. Landslides are common in every subaqueous geodynamic context, from passive and active continental margins to oceanic and continental intraplate settings. They pose significant threats to both offshore and coastal areas due to their frequency, dimensions, and terminal ...

Introduction: Landslides in Coastal and Submarine Environments
2014Lack of direct observations and restricted access limits our current knowledge about submarine and coastal landslides. Open research questions remain regarding landslide recurrence rates, trigger mechanisms, failure dynamics, their impact on coastal and seafloor infrastructure and their role in causing subsequent effects such as tsunamis.

Characteristics of Several Tsunamigenic Submarine Landslides
2003Submarine landslides are becoming recognized as a potential source of damaging local tsunamis. However, there are presently few documented case studies of landslide events that have caused historic tsunamis or likely caused prehistoric tsunamis. We present three case studies of submarine landslide environments off the west coast of the United States ...

Tsunamis Generated by Submarine Landslides
2011Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and cause coastal hazard. Because the horizontal scale of submarine landslide is comparable to water depth and much smaller than the scale of earthquake fault area, the tsunami characteristics is very different from earthquake-generated tsunami which is usually approximated as a shallow-water wave.
