😍😍 Shaking occurs up and down rather than left to right. Maybe this explains most of the deposit being extensional and the blocks being bounded by extensional faults?

Left: Seismic section showing buried sediment waves/cyclic steps gradually transforming into a giant submarine landslide. Right: Megaclast evolution during the transport direction of a giant submarine landslide (same as the left landslide), note the extreme substrate erosion😱

Submarine landsliding can cause a massive amount of dewatering! Here is a seismic section of an ooze-rich submarine landslide. Nearly 100 m thick sediments were lost for a short distance (<10 km) along the transport direction during its emplacement..

We’re excited to organise a sediment source-to-sink session at the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) Annual Meeting 2024 in June next year! We’re looking forward to receiving your abstract! Session IG09 Deadline: 2nd of Jan 2024 See you! 🫰🏼🇰🇷 asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/publi…

Toe removal landslide model with interesting deformation to the head of the slide. A “fin” of the cohesive material appears to rise out of the slide mass as surrounding areas drop away. Fractures to the slide block are also nice. Cohesive sand mix with a microbead zone inside.

This is an excellent animation of a sequence of satellite images spanning several years, but it is important to understand that it shows just part of the front of the glacier where the ice flows out into the Amundsen Sea and goes afloat. 1/2

Building deltas in our Emriver, Inc. 🌊 emriver models streamtable in advance of this weeks SedStrat lab UofU Geology & Geophysics with Cari Johnson and Liz Mahon! It's so pretty!!

🌊 See the seabed of the Torres Strait as never before! Working with the Australian Hydrographic Office and @JCU we have released a seabed map of the whole Torres Strait in unprecedented detail, improving understanding of this precious environment 👉 bit.ly/3QMaliy.

Some large-scale cyclic steps and sediment waves in the western part of the northern Makassar Strait.

Two distinct types in the toe region of a giant submarine landslide, Nothern Makassar Strait, Indonesia

Always fascinating to observe these intricate cleft structures in the distal regions of both Martian (1st figure) and submarine landslides (2nd figure)

Glad to share that our work about morphological similarities between Icelandic and martian long runout landslides has been accepted for publication. In the meantime, a prepint is available here doi.org/10.5194/esurf-…
