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

Nature Communications, 2017
As volcanic islands grow via subaerial shield-building and edifice growth, large submarine landslides occur. Here, the authors reconstruct the emergence of the Canary Islands via turbidites created by submarine landslides as the islands grew, showing ...

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.

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

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

Assessment of Submarine Landslide Volume [PDF]

, 2023
Abstract Submarine landslides pose major geohazards as they can destroy seafloor infrastructure such as communication cables and cause tsunamis. The volume of material displaced with the landslide is one factor that determines its hazard and is typically estimated using bathymetric and/or seismic datasets.

A Submarine Landslides Database of Calabrian Continental Margins (Central Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]

Scientific Data
Submarine landslides are complex and widespread natural events occurring all over the world, in every latitude and depth. Understanding the genesis and evolution of submarine landslides requires interpreting the nature of the seafloor, on which these ...

In situ observation of wave-induced deformation of submarine landslides in tidal channel areas [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Landslides often occur in land slopes, estuaries, fjords, and intertidal zones in the marine environment, while landslides in tidal channels have not been systematically reported. The Zhoushan sea area is dotted with islands and crisscross tidal channels,

What was the source of the nonseismic tsunami that occurred in Toyama Bay during the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In recent years, there have been worldwide reports of massive tsunamis, drawing attention to how tsunamis are intensified by submarine landslides triggered by earthquakes.
