Submarine Landslide Database

The Submarine Landslide Database is a collection of information about underwater landslides, which are large movements of sediment and rocks down the slopes of the ocean floor. These events can be triggered by factors like earthquakes, volcanic activity, or human actions and can impact marine ecosystems, navigation, and coastal areas. The database catalogs details such as the location, size, and causes of these landslides, providing valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and policymakers. Understanding these phenomena helps in assessing risks and managing the potential hazards they pose to both the environment and human activities.
