Abstract. In partially molten regions inside the Earth, melt buoyancy may trigger upwelling of both solid and fluid phases, i.e., diapirism. If is allowed to move separately with respect matrix, perturbations evolve into solitary porosity waves. While diapirs form on a wide range scales, waves are restricted sizes few times compaction length. Thus, size perturbation in terms length controls whe...

The state-of-the-art in understanding offshore geohazards has advanced significantly in the past decade. The advances have been mostly driven by the needs of the offshore petroleum industry. The pace of exploration and field development on the continental slopes and in ultra-deep waters worldwide has increased rapidly during the past decade. Activities are concentrated in areas where the sedime...

Understanding triggers and evolution of post-depositional sediment intrusion is major importance to decrease the risk associated with hazards infrastructure environment from events such as submarine landslides fluid escape. Whereas deep-sourced intrusions (>1 km) are widely documented, early burial examples poorly recognized have been described only in large deltas. Their formation had not yet ...
