Journal ArticleDOI

The norwegian–greenland sea continental margins: morphology and late quaternary sedimentary processes and environment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an overview of the morphology and the processes responsible for the formation of three main groups of morphological features: slides, trough mouth fans and channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slope failure dynamics and impacts from seafloor and shallow sub-seafloor geophysical data: case studies from the COSTA project

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
Journal ArticleDOI

Trough mouth fans — palaeoclimate and ice-sheet monitors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified trough mouth fans, depocentres dominated by debris flows accumulated in front of ice streams draining the former large northwest European ice sheets, as the main sites of fresh water supply to the ocean during the mid/late Pleistocene ice ages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triggering mechanisms of slope instability processes and sediment failures on continental margins: a geotechnical approach

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).
Journal ArticleDOI

Late Weichselian submarine debris flow deposits on the Bear Island Trough Mouth Fan

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied sediment distribution on the Bear Island Trough Mouth Fan during the last glacial period using high resolution reflection seismics and gravity cores and found that large debris flows were generated when the Barents Sea Ice Sheet reached the shelf break.
