Detecting Compaction Disequilibrium with Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility [PDF]
, 2006 In clay-rich sediment, microstructures and macrostructures influence how sediments deform when under stress. When lithology is fairly constant, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) can be a simple technique for measuring the relative consolidation

The first ultra-high resolution Digital Terrain Model of the shallow-water sector around Lipari Island (Aeolian Islands, Italy) [PDF]
, 2015 Very high resolution bathymetric map obtained through multibeam echosounders data are crucial to generate accurate Digital Terrain Models from which the morphological setting of active volcanic areas can be analyzed in detail. Here we show and discuss

New Insights into the Emplacement Dynamics of Volcanic Island Landslides [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 Volcanic islands form the highest topographic structures on Earth and are the sites of some of the planet's largest landslides. These landslides can rapidly mobilize hundreds of cubic kilometers of rock and sediment, and potentially generate destructive ...

Inferring the high velocity of landslides in Valles Marineris on Mars from morphological analysis [PDF]
, 2016 The flow characteristics and velocities of three landslides in Valles Marineris on Mars are investigated using detailed morphological analyses of high-resolution images and dynamical calculations based on the run-up and curvature of the landslide ...

3D physical modeling of tsunamis generated by submerged landslides at a conical island. The role of initial acceleration [PDF]
, 2016 This paper presents a new set of 3D experiments aimed to gain insight on the role of the initial acceleration upon the generation process of tsunamis by submerged landslides that may occur at the flanks of conical islands.

Introduction to the special issue on submarine geohazard records and potential seafloor instability
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2018 Submarine landslides frequently occur in passive continental margins or active margins (Hampton et al. 1996; Wynn et al. 2000; Mienert et al. 2002; Korup et al. 2007; Twichell et al. 2009; Cukur et al. 2016).

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
