A large number of submarine landslides were identified on the continental slope on the Eastern Australian margin during voyages aboard the RV Southern Surveyor in 2008. Preliminary sedimentological analysis as well as geotechnical and biostratigraphic data determined for mid-slope dredge samples are...
