Submarine Landslides

, 2019
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 ...

Developing a simple soil erosion model including spatial variability in headwater catchments

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hillslopes and stream channels are tightly linked in headwater catchments, where soil erosion on slopes is transported to channels depending on topography, soil properties, and ground cover conditions. Because these environments are highly spatially variable, geographic information system (GIS)‐based modeling approaches are effective for ...

The role of science in physical natural hazard assessment : report to the UK Government by the Natural Hazard Working Group [PDF]

, 2005
Following the tragic Asian tsunami on 26 December 2004, the Prime Minister asked the Government’s Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir David King, to convene a group of experts (the Natural Hazard Working Group) to advise on the mechanisms that could and ...

Evaluation of Earthquake‐Induced Slope Displacements in Greater Vancouver Based on Probabilistic Framework and Using NBCC 2020 and EqDisp Code Platform

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Engineers frequently use simplified seismic slope displacement procedures to evaluate the performance of earth structures and natural slopes. Current practices typically adopt Newmark‐type and semi‐empirical seismic displacement prediction models (SDPMs) to estimate the seismic slope displacements (D) based on ground motion intensity measures at a ...

Submarine‐channel meandering reset by landslide filling, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

The Depositional Record
Landslides are among the largest mass movements on Earth. As such, the deposits of landslides, also known as mass‐transport deposits, are significant architectural elements of continental margins, especially those receiving sediment from large deltas ...

Seafloor Subsidence Evaluation Due to Hydrate Depressurization Recovery in the Shenhu Area, South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Submarine hydrate mining can trigger geological disasters, including submarine landslides and seafloor subsidence due to excess pore pressure and weakened layers, which may potentially lead to the reactivation of faults and increased seismic activity ...

Narrating Entanglement Without Dehumanisation in Contemporary Eco‐Fiction

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023). Both novels use multiperspective narration in the service of entanglement narratives, forms of storytelling that emphasise the interconnection of human and nonhuman life.

Responses of wind turbine foundations in sand subjected to submarine landslides

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The submarine landslides are massive underwater sediment movements on the ocean floor and can pose significant threats to offshore structures. Understanding the mechanism of submarine landslide-offshore structure interaction is essential for risk ...

Landslides in sensitive soils, Tauranga, New Zealand. [PDF]

, 2013
In the Tauranga region sensitive soil failures commonly occur after heavy rainfall events, causing considerable infrastructure damage. Several notable landslides include a large failure at Bramley Drive, Omokoroa in 1979, the Ruahihi Canal collapse in ...

Do Climate Conditions in Origin Shape Return Migration Intentions? Evidence From West Africans in Germany

International Migration, Volume 64, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of climate change in shaping return migration intentions among international migrants. Using an original representative survey of over 1000 first‐generation West African migrants in Germany, we correlate variation in climate conditions in respondents' subnational regions of origin in West Africa to their return ...
