Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences
Submarine mass movements are a hidden geohazard with large destructive potential for submarine installations and coastal areas. This hazard and associated risk is growing in proportion with increasing population of coastal urban agglomerations, industrial infrastructure, and coastal tourism. Also, the intensified use of the seafloor for natural resource production, and deep sea cables constitutes an increasing risk. Submarine slides may alter the coastline and bear a high tsunamogenic potential. There is a potential link of submarine mass wasting with climate change, as submarine landslides can uncover and release large amounts greenhouse gases, mainly methane, that are now stored in marine ...
Submarine Mass Movements and their Consequences
This book is a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art studies of seafloor slope instability and their societal implications. The volume captures the most recent and exciting scientific progress made in this research field. As the world’s climate and energy needs change, the conditions under which slope instability occurs and needs to be considered, are also changing. The science and engineering of submarine – or more widely subaqueous – mass movements is greatly benefiting from advances in seafloor and sub-seafloor surveying technologies. Ultra-high-resolution seafloor mapping and 3D seismic reflection cubes are becoming commonly available datasets that are dramatically increasin...
Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences
With contributions from leading researchers in science and engineering, this book provides a global perspective on submarine mass movements and their consequences. Authors report on new findings from fundamental as well as site-specific studies from around the world. All studies relied on the most recent technologies, including multi-beam sonar imaging techniques, 3D seismic analysis, slope stability analysis, debris flow, and tsunami modeling.
Internationalisierung im Mittelstand
Mit drei Schwerpunkten bietet das Buch Lösungen für die Internationalisierung: eine empirische Untersuchung zum internationalen Personalmanagement, Erfahrungsberichte mittelständischer Unternehmen und Beiträge zu Formen der Internationalisierung.
Submarine Landslides
An examination of ancient and contemporary submarine landslides and their impact Landslides are common in every subaqueous geodynamic context, from passive and active continental margins to oceanic and continental intraplate settings. They pose significant threats to both offshore and coastal areas due to their frequency, dimensions, and terminal velocity, capacity to travel great distances, and ability to generate potentially destructive tsunamis. Submarine Landslides: Subaqueous Mass Transport Deposits from Outcrops to Seismic Profiles examines the mechanisms, characteristics, and impacts of submarine landslides. Volume highlights include: Use of different methodological approaches, from geophysics to field-based geology Data on submarine landslide deposits at various scales Worldwide collection of case studies from on- and off-shore Potential risks to human society and infrastructure Impacts on the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere
Dynamic Sedimentary Environments of Mangrove Coasts
Dynamic Sedimentary Environments of Mangrove Coasts provides knowledge on the importance of sedimentary dynamics in managing mangrove forests. In the first part of the book, the editors seamlessly offer a general introduction of mangrove sedimentary dynamics. This leads into more in-depth information on soil surface elevation change, sea level rise, and the importance of sedimentary dynamics in the loss or gain of blue carbon. The book concludes the discussion of mangrove sedimentary dynamics by addressing the issues of climate change (e.g. sea level rise and blue carbon) on mangrove restoration and sediment.This book will assist coastal managers and academics in addressing the gaps in mangr...

Im Fokus: Naturkatastrophen
Erdbeben, Hurrikans, Jahrhunderthochwasser: Immer wieder zeigt die Natur in solchen Ereignissen auch ihre zerstörerische Seite – und dies seit Jahrmillionen. Naturkatastrophen haben auch unsere eigene Geschichte geprägt und beeinflusst: Sie schufen Mythen, entschieden Kriege und ließen ganze Reiche untergehen. Und selbst heute – trotz aller Fortschritte in Wissenschaft und Technologie – gehören diese Naturereignisse noch immer zu den Phänomenen unseres Planeten, die für uns unbeherrschbar und oft auch unvorhersehbar sind. Was aber macht Erdbeben und Co so unberechenbar? Warum gibt es Tornados auch bei uns? Und wie wird der Klimawandel künftige Naturgefahren beeinflussen? Welche Antworten es bisher auf diese und andere Fragen gibt – und auch was wir heute noch nicht wissen, beschreibt dieses Buch. Es gibt einen Überblick über die großen Naturkatastrophen unseres Planeten und erklärt die Hintergründe. Naturwissenschaften im Fokus Reihenherausgeber: Harald Frater
