Large Submarine Landslides on Continental Slopes: Geohazards, Methane Release, and Climate Change

Submarine landslides on open continental slopes can be prodigious in scale. They are an important process for global sediment fluxes, and can generate very damaging tsunamis. Submarine landslides are far harder to monitor directly than terrestrial landslides, and much greater uncertainty surrounds t...
