Series: Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research. Num Pages: 699 pages, 33 black & white illustrations, 231 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: RBGB; RBKC; RGB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 41. Weight in Grams: 1343.
Submarine mass movements are a hidden geohazard with large destructive potential for submarine installations and coastal areas. This hazard and associated risk is growing in proportion with increasing population of coastal urban agglomerations, industrial infrastructure, and coastal tourism. Also, the intensified use of the seafloor for natural resource production, and deep sea cables constitutes an increasing risk. Submarine slides may alter the coastline and bear a high tsunamogenic potential. There is a potential link of submarine mass wasting with climate change, as submarine landslides can uncover and release large amounts greenhouse gases, mainly methane, that are now stored in marine ...
