These features have been described all along the Mediterranean and interpreted as either soft sediment deformation or, more recently, as sediment bedforms. We present a detailed analysis of these features using ultrahighresolution seismic and bathymetric data, as well as geotechnical information and hydrodynamic time series and hydrographic transects. We show that the characteristics of the sediment undulations (morphology and configuration of the reflections down section and between adjacent undulations) are incompatible with a genesis by sediment deformation. {\textcopyright} Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.}, keywords = {Prodeltas, Sediment bedforms, slope failure, Undulated sediments}, isbn = {978-94-007-2161-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-2162-3}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84904091924\&partnerID=tZOtx3y1}, author = {Urgeles, Roger and Cattaneo, Antonio and Puig, Pere and Liquete, Camino and De Mol, Ben and Sultan, Nabil and Trincardi, Fabio}, editor = {Yamada, Yasuhiro and Kawamura, Kiichiro and Ikehara, Ken and Ogawa, Yujiro and Urgeles, Roger and Mosher, David and Chaytor, Jason and Strasser, Michael} } @inbook {Rebesco2012, title = {{One million years of climatic generated landslide events on the northwestern Barents Sea continental margin.}}, booktitle = {Submarine Mass Movement and Their Consequences, Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research}, year = {2012}, pages = {747{\textendash}756}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, organization = {Springer Netherlands}, address = {Dordrecht}, abstract = {Relatively recent, shallow landslides are imaged both on swath bathymetry, sub-bottom and multichannel seismic reflection (MCS) data from the upper-middle continental slope on the Storfjorden and Kveithola Trough Mouth Fans, NW Barents Sea margin. Giant paleo-landslide deposits, detected only by MCS profiles, are characterized by chaotic acoustic units up to about 250 m thick on the lower continental slope. The thickest, oldest landslide, dated between 1 and 0.8 Ma, took place just after the large-scale intensification of glaciation in the Barents Sea. The apparent spatial coincidence of landslides and channels with the boundary between the two fan systems, that are generated due to huge quantities of sediments transported to the continental slope by paleo-ice streams, suggests a common controlling climatic process for their development. Most probably the slides are related to the abundance of basal meltwater beneath the ice sheet, which in addition to determining ice stream motion and lubrication also influences the behavior of mass wasting processes. {\textcopyright} Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.}, keywords = {Continental slope, NW barents sea margin, Sealloor morphology, Seismic reflection, Submarine landslide}, isbn = {978-94-007-2161-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-2162-3}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84904105361\&partnerID=tZOtx3y1}, author = {Rebesco, Michele and Pedrosa, Maria T. and Camerlenghi, Angelo and Lucchi, Renata G. and Sauli, Chiara and De Mol, Ben and Madrussani, Gianni and Urgeles, Roger and Rossi, Giuliana and B{\"o}hm, Gualtiero}, editor = {Yamada, Yasuhiro and Kawamura, Kiichiro and Ikehara, Ken and Ogawa, Yujiro and Urgeles, Roger and Mosher, David and Chaytor, Jason and Strasser, Michael} } @inbook {Harders2012, title = {{An overview of the role of long-term tectonics and incoming plate structure on segmentation of submarine mass wasting phenomena along the Middle America Trench.}}, booktitle = {Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences - 5th International Symposium}, year = {2012}, pages = {391{\textendash}402}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, organization = {Springer Netherlands}, address = {Dordrecht}, abstract = {We study mass wasting along the Middle America Trench (MAT), a subduction zone dominated by tectonic erosion, using a comprehensive data set of seafloor relief. We integrate previous studies of long- Term tectonic processes to analyze how they influence the evolution of the slope structure and precondition the continental slope for mass wasting. We have used the distribution of an inventory of 147 slope failure structures along the MAT to discuss their relation to subduction erosion. We interpret that preconditioning of the slope by long- Term tectonics, interacts in a shorter- Term scale with features on the under- Thrusting oceanic plate to modulate the abundance and types of mass wasting phenomena. The complex origin of the incoming oceanic plate has produced abrupt lateral changes in plate age, crustal thickness, relief, and response to bending deformation at the trench, leading to its partitioning into six segments. We found that the continental-slope failure style and abundance are partitioned into six segments that spatially match the ocean plate segments. {\textcopyright} Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.}, keywords = {Convergent margin, Subduction erosion, Submarine landslide}, isbn = {978-94-007-2161-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-2162-3}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84904112373\&partnerID=tZOtx3y1}, author = {Harders, Rieka and Ranero, Cesar R. and Weinrebe, Wilhelm}, editor = {Yamada, Yasuhiro and Kawamura, Kiichiro and Ikehara, Ken and Ogawa, Yujiro and Urgeles, Roger and Mosher, David and Chaytor, Jason and Strasser, Michael} } @inbook {Lucchi2012, title = {{Recent submarine landslides on the continental slope of Storfjorden and Kveithola Trough-Mouth Fans (north west Barents Sea)}}, booktitle = {Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences, Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research, 34, Springer, Dordrecht (The Netherlands)}, year = {2012}, pages = {735{\textendash}745}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, organization = {Springer Netherlands}, address = {Dordrecht}, abstract = {Up to 12 submarine landslides retain a morphological evidence as concave amphitheater-like depressions of various sizes on the middle and upper slope of the Storfjorden and Kveithola Trough-Mouth Fans (TMFs), NW Barents Sea. The largest of them show lateral scarps 35-40 m high that reach the continental shelf edge and cover an area of at least 1,120 km2. Submarine landslides are translational, with headwall and laterals scarps clearly cut into Last Glacial Maximum debris flows deposits. The largest landslides seem to be rooted at the base of a terrigenous/hemipelagic sedimentary unit inferred to be of Middle Weichselian age (Marine Isotopic Stage 3). Stratigraphic, lithological and geotechnical observations suggest that the rapid deposition of a thick sequence of fine-grained, high water content interlaminate plumites is the most important controlling factors in the generation of submarine landslides on the southern Storfjorden and Kveithola TMFs. {\textcopyright} Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.}, keywords = {Barents Sea, Debris flow, Ice stream, Kveithola, Storfjorden, Submarine landslide, Trough-mouth fans}, isbn = {978-94-007-2161-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-2162-3}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84904104155\&partnerID=tZOtx3y1}, author = {Lucchi, Renata G. and Pedrosa, Maria T. and Camerlenghi, Angelo and Urgeles, Roger and De Mol, Ben and Rebesco, Michele}, editor = {Yamada, Yasuhiro and Kawamura, Kiichiro and Ikehara, Ken and Ogawa, Yujiro and Urgeles, Roger and Mosher, David and Chaytor, Jason and Strasser, Michael} } @inbook {Yamada2012, title = {{Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences: An introduction.}}, booktitle = {Submarine Mass Movement and Their Consequences, Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research}, year = {2012}, pages = {1{\textendash}12}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, organization = {Springer Netherlands}, address = {Dordrecht}, isbn = {978-94-007-2161-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-2162-3}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84903753314\&partnerID=tZOtx3y1}, author = {Yamada, Yasuhiro and Kawamura, Kiichiro and Ikehara, Ken and Ogawa, Yujiro and Urgeles, Roger and Mosher, David and Chaytor, Jason and Strasser, Michael}, editor = {Yamada, Yasuhiro and Kawamura, Kiichiro and Ikehara, Ken and Ogawa, Yujiro and Urgeles, Roger and Mosher, David and Chaytor, Jason and Strasser, Michael} }
