The role of platform margin collapses and slope landslides in the initiation and evolution of submarine canyons

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Zhongsha Platform is the largest modern isolated carbonate platform of around 8600 km2 in the South China Sea, providing a unique case study for sedimentary processes in pure carbonate settings.

Probabilistic Hazard Assessment of Coseismic Elastic Surface Deformation for the Leech River Valley–Devil's Mountain Fault System Using Stochastic Source Modeling

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study investigates the effect of incorporating the Devil's Mountain Fault (DMF) and its interaction with the Leech River Valley Fault (LRVF) on the elastic surface deformation hazard in and near the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Previously, the surface deformation hazard of the region has been characterized by considering the LRVF ...

Shallow-Water Submarine Landslide Susceptibility Map: The Example in a Sector of Capo d’Orlando Continental Margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Active continental margins, generally characterized by narrow shelves incised by canyons, are pervasively shaped by submarine landslides that can occur near coastal areas.

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 248-257, August 2026.
This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

Inferring the Base of Submarine Permafrost in the Canadian Beaufort Sea From Seismic Data and the Depth of the Gas Hydrate Stability Zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The widespread presence of submarine permafrost in the southern Canadian Beaufort Sea provides necessary stability conditions for gas hydrates on the shallow shelf. However, the submarine permafrost is still relatively underexplored. Representing mostly relict terrestrial permafrost, submarine permafrost was formed by subaerial exposure to ...

Submarine Flank Collapses at Tagoro Volcano: Insights From Bathymetric Surveys and 3D Multiphase Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Volcanic islands are prone to flank instabilities that can generate tsunamis even when mobilized volumes are moderate. This study investigates submarine collapses during the 2011–2012 eruption south of El Hierro, which built the Tagoro submarine volcano.

Advances in Understanding Marine Geohazards: From Characterization to Prediction

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Marine geohazards encompass a wide variety of processes, including submarine landslides, canyon morphodynamics, turbidity currents, gas hydrates, seafloor fluid emissions, and the impacts of internal solitary waves on sediments [...]

Basal Force Probability Distributions in Thin‐Layer Granular Flows

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Extreme geophysical flows, such as granular and debris flows, can significantly shape the landscape in steep lands and generate seismic signals that can be recorded over long distances. However, direct field measurements needed to constrain the granular physics remain difficult due to the damage potential of those flows.

Morphometric fingerprints and downslope evolution in bathymetric surveys: insights into morphodynamics of the Congo canyon-channel

Frontiers in Earth Science
Submarine canyons and channels are globally important pathways for sediment, organic carbon, nutrients and pollutants to the deep sea, and they form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth.

Eocene to Miocene U‐Pb Geochronology Evolution of the Rio Grande Rise, Southwestern Atlantic: A Paleoceanographic Approach

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a major submarine feature in the South Atlantic that plays an important role in regional oceanographic dynamics. This study presents new U‐Pb geochronology of sedimentary rocks from the RGR, offering direct age constraints on carbonate and apatite embedded within Fe‐Mn crusts and associated foraminifera fossils ...
