TL;DR: In this article, a classification of transgressive seafloor facies is proposed based on the recognition of distinctive surfaces (wave and tidal ravinement surfaces, transgressive surface) within the transgressive lithosome.

TL;DR: The Gargano subaqueous delta as discussed by the authors formed on the eastern and southeastern sides of the Gargano promontory, in the western Adriatic, represents the southernmost portion of the late-Holocene highstand systems tract (HST) growing along the western side of the basin as an extensive wedge of deltaic and shallow-marine mud.

TL;DR: A review and update from original data and literature reports the current state of knowledge of Storegga, Traenadjupet and Finneidfjord slides from the mid-Norwegian margin, Afen Slide from the Faeroe-Shetland Channel, BIG'95 Slide and Central Adriatic Deformation Belt (CADEB) from continental slope and inner continental shelf settings off the Ebro and Po rivers in the Mediterranean Sea, Canary Slide west of the westernmost, youngest Canary Islands and Gebra Slide off the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula

TL;DR: In this article, different slope failures events from different parts of the Costa target areas, which reflect diverse triggering mechanisms, were analysed to identify the geotechnical response of the sediment to different external mechanisms (earthquake, rapid sedimentation and gas hydrate melting).

TL;DR: In this paper, the modern Po Delta system, comprising five main delta lobes, has been investigated by integrating VHR seismic surveys, recorded offshore from water depths as shallow as 5 m to the toe of the prodelta in about 30 m, with accurate historical cartography extending back several centuries.
