Classification of offshore mass movements
Thierry Mulder,Pierre Cochonat +1 more
TL;DR: More than 100 offshore mass-movement deposits have been studied in Holocene and Pleistocene sediments, and the processes can be divided into three main types: slides/slumps, plastic flows, and turbidity currents, of which 13 main varieties have been recognized as mentioned in this paper.

Effect of gas hydrates melting on seafloor slope instability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theoretical study of the thermodynamic chemical equilibrium of gas hydrate in soil by taking into account the influence of temperature, pressure, pore water chemistry, and the mean pore size distribution.
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
Isolated seafloor pockmarks linked to BSRs, fluid chimneys, polygonal faults and stacked Oligocene-Miocene turbiditic palaeochannels in the Lower Congo Basin
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution 3D seismic data sets were used to identify four levels of turbiditic palaeochannels, which are separated by low-amplitude continuous reflectors interpreted as hemipelagic sediments.
