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.

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: The detailed mapping of the Storegga Slide morphological elements and the analyses of the slide development are based on high-quality acoustic and sampling data sets acquired through a cooperation between academia and the petroleum industry as discussed by the authors.

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: The sensitivity of oceanic gas hydrates and submarine slope stability to the combined forcing of sea level changes and bottom water perturbation is a critical issue for risk assessment in the Storegga Slide area on the mid-Norwegian margin this article.
