The Norwegian Margin

The Storegga Slide: architecture, geometry and slide development

“…1) are found to be the largest submarine slides documented on glaciated, or glacially influenced, margin areas (Bugge, 1983;Kenyon, 1987;Aksu and Hiscott, 1989;Dowdeswell et al, 1996;van Weering et al, 1998;Vorren et al, 1998Vorren et al, , 2003Bart et al, 1999;Laberg et al, , 2002aVorren and Laberg, 2001;Imbo et al, 2003;Piper and McCall, 2003;Taylor et al, 2000Taylor et al, , 2003. The slides have also created prominent scars that have deeply influenced the shape of the Norwegian margin (e.g., Vorren et al, 2003). The largest of these slides is the Storegga Slide, considered by Bugge (1983) to be the largest exposed submarine slide in the world affecting an area of 112 000 km 2 ; revised by Haflidason et al (2002) to be c. 95 000 km 2 .…”
