The growth and decay of oceanic hotspot volcanoes are intrinsically related to a competition
between volcanic construction and erosive destruction, and coastlines are at the forefront of …

The submarine flanks of volcanic islands are shaped by volcanic constructional processes,
landslides, erosion, sediment deposition and tectonic movements. We use a newly acquired …

The ages, types, and compositions of volcaniclastic sediments, physical properties, and
downhole logs obtained during Leg 157 drilling at Sites 953 and 954 north and 955 and 956 …

Bathymetry data collected with a multibeam echo sounder around Pico Island, Azores
(Portugal), reveal a remarkable series of lava flows on the island's shelf with a variety of …

The growth of ferromanganese (FeMn) crusts on soft substrates is uncommon. FeMn crusts
generally accrete on hard-rock surfaces, where sedimentation rates are low and the rocks …

El Hierro is the youngest and westernmost island of the Canarian Archipelago. Due to its
singular and interesting characteristics, with extensive landsliding, studying its crustal …

Submarine mass failures represent one of the most significant marine geo-hazards. Their
importance as a major contributor to tsunami generation and hazard has been recognized …

A chronostratigraphy of Miocene/Pliocene volcanism on Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) has
been established by single-crystal 40Ar/39Ar laser dating of feldspar crystals from 58 …

The emplacement of organic-rich turbidite units on abyssal plains is commonly followed by
the early diagenetic redistribution of redox-sensitive elements. This occurs only at the …

Surveying with multibeam echo sounders around old (≫ 1 Ma) volcanic ocean islands
reveals that their submarine flanks contain a strong downslope‐oriented ridge‐and‐valley …
