Abstract For over a century, alluvial river terraces have been used as archives of tectonic deformation or changes in water discharge, sediment supply, and sea level. Despite this long history, such efforts remain challenging: using terraces as deformation markers requires knowledge of their initial geometry, and most attempts to attribute terrace ...

TSUNAMIGENIC SOURCES IN THE BAY OF PLENTY, NEW ZEALAND [PDF]
New Zealand sits in a precarious position astride the boundary between the Pacific and Australian Plates. There is a wide range of potential tsunamigenic sources in this area including fault movements, submarine landslides, volcanic activity, and other ...

Bayesian model calibration of submarine landslides
Abstract Current practice to model the occurrence of submarine landslides is based on methods that assess the potential of site-specific failures, all with the objective of providing elements to identify and quantify regional features associated to geohazards, before a project development takes place.

Abstract A small‐volume 6,000 m3 rockslide struck the Lorgino hamlet of Crevoladossola (NW Italy) just before 23:00 UTC on 26 January 2023, at the boundary of a nearby marble quarry. The rockslide severely damaged the mining infrastructure and halted operations for months, fortunately without causing injuries or casualties.

Abstract The Outer California Borderland (OCB) is an active transform plate boundary offshore Southern California, where the relationship between faulting and submarine mass transport deposits (MTDs) remains poorly understood. Onshore paleoseismic data provide high‐resolution earthquake records, whereas marine geophysical data capture longer‐term ...

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.

Abstract We present new vector paleomagnetic data from 13 radiometrically dated lava‐flows in southern La Palma (Canary Islands) spanning from 1 to 56 ka, which covers most of the Late Pleistocene to prehistoric Holocene volcanic record in the island.
