Landslide‐modifications of submarine valleys
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1932Introduction—The continental shelves are accordant in level to such a degree that they must have been remarkably free from earth‐movements both during and since their formation. Yet these same stable shelves are traversed in many places by deep elongate depressions many of which are so similar to river valleys that they have been attributed to the ...

Determinants of Landslide Mobility and Landslide Area in Submarine Landslides
Artificial Intelligence and Applications / 794: Modelling, Identification and Control / 795: Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networks / 796: Software Engineering / 792: Web-based Education, 2013There are two central concepts in the analysis of mobility of landslides: the run-out distance which is defined as the horizontal distance between the initial centre of mass of the sliding material and the centre of mass of the sliding material subsequent to the landslide and the area which is defined as the total area affected by the landslide.

Simulation of Submarine Landslides by Cellular Automata Methodology
2013A new model (named SCIDDICA-SS2), which is based on the Macroscopic Cellular Automata computational paradigm, has been specifically designed for the simula- tion of coastal and underwater landslides. SCIDDICA-SS2 is a fully 3D model based on the equivalent fluid approach.

Submarine landslide geomorphology, US continental slope
Marine Geology, 2000Abstract The morphometric analysis of submarine landslides in four distinctly different tectonic environments on the continental slopes of Oregon, central California, Texas, and New Jersey provides useful insight into submarine process, including sediment transport mechanisms and slope stability. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) software, we

Characteristics of Several Tsunamigenic Submarine Landslides
2003Submarine landslides are becoming recognized as a potential source of damaging local tsunamis. However, there are presently few documented case studies of landslide events that have caused historic tsunamis or likely caused prehistoric tsunamis. We present three case studies of submarine landslide environments off the west coast of the United States ...

Tsunamis Generated by Submarine Landslides
2011Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and cause coastal hazard. Because the horizontal scale of submarine landslide is comparable to water depth and much smaller than the scale of earthquake fault area, the tsunami characteristics is very different from earthquake-generated tsunami which is usually approximated as a shallow-water wave.

Submarine Landslide Optimization Algorithm
Submarine landslides are a typical geodynamic process, the mechanism of which involves complex factors such as sediment gravity drive, frictional resistance, sediment interlayer rearrangement, and local fragmentation and reorganization. Inspired by the physical mechanisms of submarine landslides, this paper proposes a novel heuristic optimization ...openaire +1 more source
