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

Responses of wind turbine foundations in sand subjected to submarine landslides
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 ...

Geological and morphological setting of 2778 methane seeps in the Dnepr paleo-delta, northwestern Black Sea [PDF]
The Dnepr paleo-delta area in the NW Black Sea is characterized by an abundant presence of methane seeps. During the expeditions of May–June 2003 and 2004 within the EU-funded CRIMEA project, detailed multibeam, seismic and hydro-acoustic water-column ...

Abstract Snow dampens sounds, but anecdotal reports concisely describe audible propagating collapse events—firnquakes—in Antarctic and Arctic snowfields. We propose combining granular and continuum mechanics to form a testable theory for conditioning, triggering, and propagation of firnquakes consistent with scarce data.

Mapping basin-wide subaquatic slope failure susceptibility as a tool to assess regional seismic and tsunami hazards [PDF]
This study of subaquatic slope failures in Lake Lucerne, central Switzerland, presents a new concept for evaluating basin-wide slope stability through time as a potential tool for regional seismic and tsunami hazard assessments.

Modern Submarine Landslide Complexes
20 pages Submarine landslides have been identified in almost all ocean basins worldwide. The largest submarine landslides occur on very shallow slopes and can be far larger than any terrestrial landslide. Submarine landslides can produce tsunami whose far‐reaching effects can rival those produced by earthquake‐tsunamis and threaten increasingly ...

Cluster‐based chemostratigraphy using XRF‐CS enables high‐resolution correlation of event deposits across contrasting depositional settings in the Japan Trench. This approach reveals previously unrecognised events and compositional heterogeneity, offering new insights into sediment provenance and earthquake‐triggered deposition, with implications for ...
