Nature, 1998 Submarine landslides can generate enormous turbidity currents that carry that carry 500 km3or more of sediment down to the oceans' abyssal plains. The slides can cause Tsunamis, and may release large amounts of methane to the air.

Tsunamis from submarine landslides [PDF]
Geology Today, 2017 Most tsunamis are generated by earthquakes, with secondary, less frequent, mechanisms including subaerial and submarine landslides, volcanic eruptions and (extra‐terrestrial) bolide impacts. Different mechanisms generate tsunamis with different magnitudes, travel distances and impacts.

Submarine landslides, relationship with BSRs in the Dongsha area of South China Sea
Petroleum Research, 2016 : Gas hydrate samples were first obtained in the Dongsha area, South China Sea (GMGS2) in 2013. High-resolution 3D seismic data in the area show various small landslide bodies developed as huge mass transport deposits. These bodies are divided into seven

Submarine Landslides and Their Tsunami Hazard
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2021 Most tsunamis are generated by earthquakes, but in 1998, a seabed slump offshore of northern Papua New Guinea (PNG) generated a tsunami up to 15 m high that killed more than 2,200 people. The event changed our understanding of tsunami mechanisms and was the forerunner to two decades of major tsunamis that included those in Turkey, the Indian Ocean ...

How erosive are submarine landslides?
, 2022 Submarine landslides (slides) are ubiquitous on continental margins. They can pose a major hazard by triggering tsunami and damaging essential submarine infrastructure. Slide volume, which is a key parameter in hazard assessment, can change after initiation through substrate and/or water entrainment. However, the erosive capacity of slides is uncertain.

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2018 Offshore pipelines are exposed to potential submarine landslides. It is difficult to measure the impact forces exerted on a pipeline induced by submarine landslides because the upper seabed is very soft and an impact angle exists in practice.

Sedimentology, structure and age estimate of five continental slope submarine landslides, eastern Australia [PDF]
, 2016 Sedimentological and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C data provide estimates of the structure and age of five submarine landslides (∼0.4–3 km3) present on eastern Australia's continental slope between Noosa Heads and Yamba.

Analytical and numerical studies for wave generated by submarine landslide
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2022 In this research, we investigate how submarine landslides are able to produce extremely damaging tsunami waves and estimate the maximum height of the waves in question using a mathematical model.

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2017 Submarine landslides are major agents of sediment mass transfer from the shallow to deep sea. Due to their rapid emplacement and tsunamigenic potential, such landslides are significant geohazards for society and off- and on-shore infrastructure.
