Submarine landslides: advances and challenges

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2002
Due to the recent development of well-integrated surveying techniques of the sea floor, significant improvements were achieved in mapping and describing the morphology and architecture of submarine mass movements. Except for the occurrence of turbidity currents, the aquatic environment (marine and fresh water) experiences the same type of mass failure

Giant submarine landslides

Nature, 1998
Submarine landslides can generate enormous turbidity currents that carry that carry 500 km3or more of sediment down to the oceans' abyssal plains. The slides can cause Tsunamis, and may release large amounts of methane to the air.

Submarine Landslides in French Polynesia

2004
Landslides are common features of oceanic islands and playa key role in their evolution. Caused by caldera collapse or flank collapses, they can be classified into three types: (1) rock falls, (2) slumps or (3) debris avalanches (Moore et al. 1989). Rock falls, or superficial landslides, are mainly related to erosion processes of the subaerial parts of

Determinants of Landslide Mobility and Landslide Area in Submarine Landslides

Artificial Intelligence and Applications / 794: Modelling, Identification and Control / 795: Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networks / 796: Software Engineering / 792: Web-based Education, 2013
There are two central concepts in the analysis of mobility of landslides: the run-out distance which is defined as the horizontal distance between the initial centre of mass of the sliding material and the centre of mass of the sliding material subsequent to the landslide and the area which is defined as the total area affected by the landslide.

Landslide‐modifications of submarine valleys

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1932
Introduction—The continental shelves are accordant in level to such a degree that they must have been remarkably free from earth‐movements both during and since their formation. Yet these same stable shelves are traversed in many places by deep elongate depressions many of which are so similar to river valleys that they have been attributed to the ...

Submarine landslides: processes, triggers and hazard prediction

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2006
Huge 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

2020
Olistostrome 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 ...

Simulation of Submarine Landslides by Cellular Automata Methodology

2013
A new model (named SCIDDICA-SS2), which is based on the Macroscopic Cellular Automata computational paradigm, has been specifically designed for the simula- tion of coastal and underwater landslides. SCIDDICA-SS2 is a fully 3D model based on the equivalent fluid approach.
