The NATO Science Committee Special Programme Panel on Marine
Sciences decided in September 1979 that a work- ing group should
prepare a document dealing with the prob- lems of marine slides.
The working group submitted to the Panel a proposal for the
arrangement of an interdisciplinary workshop on Marine Slides and
other Mass Movements, and the Panel decided to fund such a
workshop. Mass movement of soils and rocks on subaerial slopes is a
subject which has been intensely studied over the past fifty years,
and its literature is becoming extens- ive. The submarine
phenomenon, although similar in its pbysical basis, is much less
studied, but has become an important subject (particularly during
the past decade) because of the increase of man's use of the
coastal en- vironment and the intensified exploration for oil and
minerals on the continental margins and ocean basins.
