Abstract

The threats posed by submarine landslides to human civilization are the disappearance of valuable land near the shoreline, the destruction of seafloor installations like cables, pipelines or oil wells, and – most importantly – the devastation of coastal areas by landslide-generated tsunamis. Assessing and mitigating these hazards almost invariably implies the estimation of risk in situations where the probabilities associated with different scenarios are difficult to quantify. However, substantial progress has been made in the understanding of the geological processes and physical mechanisms operating at different stages of a submarine landslide event. This paper briefly reviews the state-of-the-art and points out why knowledge and methods from several disciplines of the physical sciences need to be combined to find solutions to the geotechnical engineering challenges from submarine landslides. A number of references to relevant case studies are also provided.
