Evolution and depositional structure of earthquake-induced mass movements and gravity flows: Southwest Orphan Basin, Labrador Sea

The influence of shelf-crossing glaciation on continental slope sedimentation, Flemish Pass, eastern Canadian continental margin

“…In these cases this last glacial advance overprinted most of the previous ice sheet configurations and the ice sheet configuration during OIS 4 remains mostly unclear. Therefore, the different distribution of the MTDs in Flemish Pass compared to other slope areas along the margin (Piper, 2005;Jenner et al, 2007;Tripsanas et al, 2008) may be related to the difference in glacial history and therefore the different ice sheet configurations in the areas.…”

Widespread deformation of basin-plain sediments in Aysén fjord (Chile) due to impact by earthquake-triggered, onshore-generated mass movements

“…Offshore mass movements have repeatedly proven their value in paleoseismological research; both in marine and lacustrine settings (Dawson, 1999;Strasser et al, 2006;Moernaut et al, 2007;Tripsanas et al, 2008;Moernaut et al, 2009;Masson et al, 2011). They have been successfully correlated to historical earthquakes and were used to identify prehistorical events.…”

Distribution, morphology and triggers of submarine mass wasting in the Sea of Marmara

“…However, numerous studies demonstrate that the importance and recurrence of mass wasting on continental slopes depend on multiple factors such as lithology, structural inheritance, seismicity, tectonic activity, sedimentary input, eustatism, or fluid overpressure (Piper et al, 1997;Orange et al, 1999;Hovland et al, 2001;Leynaud et al, 2004;Tripsanas et al, 2008;Mulder et al, 2009). Analyzing mass wasting features morphology and occurrence patterns yields insight into the processes that shape a particular margin and other margins with similar settings.…”
