The Trænadjupet Slide: Sediment Disintegration and Flow
The Trænadjupet Slide is located on the continental slope of Norway immediately NE of the Vøring Plateau (Dowdeswell et al. 1996). The slide-affected area extends from the shelf break to >3,000 m water depth in t...

Morphology of the Lofoten Basin Channel
A deep-sea channel system, the Lofoten Basin Channel, has been identified in the SE Lofoten Basin (Dowdeswell et al. 1996; Vorren et al. 1998). The channel represents the downslope continuation of the Andøya Cany...

Submarine Glacigenic Debris Flows on the Bear Island Trough Mouth Fan, Western Barents Sea: Aspects of Flow Behaviour
The Bear Island Trough Mouth Fan is situated in front of the Bear Island Trough in the western Barents Sea. The fan extends from the shelf break to water depths greater than 3,000 m and covers an area of appro...

Preconditions Leading to the Holocene Trænadjupet Slide Offshore Norway
The Traenadjupet Slide (14,100 km2) remobilised an up to 180 m thick package comprising late Weichselian glacigenic sediments and an underlying late Saalian — late Weichselian contourite drift. Rapid burial of th...

The Lofoten Contourite Drift: High-Resolution Seismic Stratigraphy
A contourite drift, the Lofoten Drift, has been identified from ca. 1,000 m water depth on the continental slope off northern Norway (Laberg et al. 1999) (Fig. 1). The Norwegian Current transporting Atlantic wate...

Slope Instability of Continental Margins
Giant submarine landslides occur on almost every contintental margin. Individual slides involve up to 20,000 km3 of slope material and cover an area of up to 113,000 km2. Their wide spread distribution and their ...

Submarine Paleo-Failure Morphology On A Glaciated Continental Margin From 3d Seismic Data
The morphology of two lower – middle Pleistocene paleo-slope surfaces within a muddy glacigenic succession was studied on 3D seismic data. The lower surface is characterised by irregular relief. It terminates ...
