Multiple episodes of deformation during the tectonic evolution of orogenic belts and ancient
subduction-accretion complexes cause obfuscation of primary block-in-matrix fabric of …

Olistostromes (sedimentary mélanges) represent the products of ancient submarine mass
transport processes. We present a comparative analysis of the occurrences and internal …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) seismic and outcrop data are used to review the
significance of submarine slide blocks and associated soft-sediment deformation structures …

Soft-sediment deformation structures associated with slumps and mass transport deposits
(MTDs) are generally considered to form at the surface when unlithified sediment moves …

Most of mélanges occurring in exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts are
commonly interpreted as the product of tectonic processes (eg, underplating and return flow) …

Subaquatic mass movements are common in marine and lacustrine environments, but due
to their barely predictable nature, direct observations of these processes are limited so that …

Abstract The terms “bimrocks”,“bimsoils” and “soil-rock mixtures” indicate different and very
common types of geological units with a block-in-matrix fabric that are also “geotechnically …

Submarine slides (including slides, slumps, and debris flows) pose major geohazards by
triggering tsunami and damaging essential submarine infrastructure. Slide volume, a key …

Abstract Some sections on Lingshan Island, in the Yellow Sea, close to the city of Qingdao,
show the Early Cretaceous Lingshandao Formation. The exposed succession consists …

Volcanic flank collapses, especially those in island settings, have generated some of the
most voluminous mass transport deposits on Earth and can trigger devastating tsunamis …
