... for consideration include the identification of potential hazards (e.g. slope instability or strong alongslope sediment transport), determination of the scale of events, and assessment of their frequency (rare, frequent, episodic or continuous). Seafloor instabihty leading to slope failure is potenbally the most...

... slope has been plotted and classdied. They are interpreted as sediment dislocabon planes, gravity flows and mamfestabons of shallow gas. Strabgraphic subdvision revealed marked vanations in the assemblages of features present down through the sequence, including mdcabons of earher gas hydrate acbvity...

... ABSTRACT Gas bubbles rise through sediments because they are buoyant, however, they become trapped when their diameter exceeds that of the sediment pore throats. Gas accumulations, formed when bubbles coalesce, may grow to occupy voids larger in size than the sediment pore spaces. Within...
