Submarine mass movements of various size and style are shaping the sea floor and are of concern for many facets of human activities both onshore and offshore. These include the development of natural resources, energy and communication transport, coastal infrastructures and communities.

The IGCP project 511 (IUGS-UNESCO's International Geoscience Programme 511) will bring a world wide perspective of submarine mass movements and their consequences. Such a perspective will be made possible by assembling excellent contributions from active researchers, groups or institutions thus providing full coverage of the many scientific and engineering aspects of this type of marine and coastal geo-hazard. The project will cover fundamental as well as site specific studies from many areas including the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, inner seas like the Mediterranean Sea, fjords and lakes using the most recent technologies, from multibeam sonar imaging and 3D seismic, stability analysis, to debris flow and tsunami modeling.
