Submarine Landslide Research

Submarine landslide research studies underwater landslides that occur on the ocean floor. These slides happen when sediments or rocks on the seabed become unstable and move suddenly, potentially triggering tsunamis or affecting underwater infrastructure. Researchers use tools like sonar mapping, seismic imaging, and monitoring systems to detect, analyze, and understand these events. Understanding submarine landslides improves predictions of natural hazards, helps in designing safer offshore structures, and enhances knowledge of seabed geology and sediment stability, contributing to safer navigation and coastal management.
