Journal ArticleDOI
The norwegian–greenland sea continental margins: morphology and late quaternary sedimentary processes and environment
Tore O. Vorren,Jan Sverre Laberg,Frank Blaume,Julian A. Dowdeswell,Neil H. Kenyon,Jürgen Mienert,Jan Rumohr,Friedrich Werner +7 more
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
Miquel Canals,Galderic Lastras,Roger Urgeles,J. L. Casamor,Jürgen Mienert,Antonio Cattaneo,M. De Batist,Haflidi Haflidason,Y. Imbo,Jan Sverre Laberg,Jacques Locat,D. Long,Oddvar Longva,Douglas G. Masson,Nabil Sultan,Fabio Trincardi,Petter Bryn +16 more
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
Tore O. Vorren,Jan Sverre Laberg +1 more
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
Nabil Sultan,Pierre Cochonat,Miquel Canals,Antonio Cattaneo,Bernard Dennielou,Haflidi Haflidason,Jan Sverre Laberg,D. Long,Jürgen Mienert,Fabio Trincardi,Roger Urgeles,Tore O. Vorren,C.K. Wilson +12 more
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
Jan Sverre Laberg,Tore O. Vorren +1 more
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.
