Submarine landslides can be far larger than those on land, and are one of the most important processes for moving sediment across our planet. Landslides that are fast enough to disintegrate can generate potentially very hazardous tsunamis, and produce long run-out turbidity currents that break strategically important cable networks. It is important to understand their frequency and triggers. We [...]
