This research has been focused on the characterisation and analysis of the deposits of large-scale mass movement events that shaped the North Sea Fan since the Mid-Pleistocene. Located at the mouth of the cross-shelf trough Norwegian Channel, the North Sea Fan is one of the largest through-mouth fans in the glaciated european margin with an area of approximately 142,000 km2. Submarine mass movement processed have occurred intermittenrly throughout the Quarternary history of the North Sea Fan, related to recurrent climate-related episodes of growth and retreat of the ice sheets. These processes can transport large amounts of sediment from the upper shelf up to the abyssal basins, playing an important role on the evolution of continental margins and can also reporesnet major geological hazards. This thesis uses mainly 3D seismic data to investigate the external geometry and internal structure of large-scale mass movement deposits. The high spatial resolution provided by the 3D seismic data has allowed a detailed geomorpholocial analysis of these deposits, This study involved the interpretation of the seismic data and the detailed pickling of key reflectors followed by tge extraction of both horizon and window-based seismic attributes. Digital elevation models of the key reflectors and their seismic attribute maps were then transferred to a geographical information system (GIS) where they were interactively interpreted using spatial analysis tools and the full visualisation potential of the software. The outcomes of this study highlight the importance of detailed horizon pickling and interactice interpretation followed by spatial analysis and visualisation in GIS environment. The identification of acoustic patterns within deposits that are normally described from 2D seismic as chaotic or acoustically transparent emphasizes the potential of detailed analysis of 3D seismic data. It gives an example of how this type of data can provide new insights into the mechanisms and processes associated with mass movements. In particular, amplitude and RMS amplitude maps provide remarkable detailed information of internal deformation structures whereas slope, shaded-relief and thickness maps allowed detailed characterisation of the external geometry. Various types of kinematic indicators can be recognized within the mass movement deposits through combined seismic analysis and detaield morphological mapping.

Tais alterações, no sistema hidrológico natural, desencadeiam problemas ambientais como: aumento da cota das enchentes e erosões. Os problemas ambientais reforçam as desigualdades sociais, uma vez que, o acesso ao ambiente seguro e saudável é desigual e a população de baixa renda ocupa as áreas de maior fragilidade: encostas íngremes e fundos de vales. O reconhecimento das características hidrogeomorfológicas naturais, mediante a análise geomorfológica, pode fundamentar uma proposta de ocupação que favoreça a manutenção da infiltração e consequente diminuição do escoamento superficial. Dentro da análise geomorfológica destaca-se a vertente, unidade hidrogeomorfológica e elemento dominante do relevo, onde materializam-se as relações das forças produtivas e as transformações que compõem a paisagem. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estabelecer diretrizes para um planejamento urbano em conformidade com as características naturais de infiltração e escoamento, inter-relacionando planejamento urbano e análise ambiental. Para tanto, toma-se a vertente (latu sensu) como unidade espacial de análise. Considera-se que o Estado, através do planejamento urbano e mediante a análise ambiental, possa regular a organização espacial da sociedade a favor do bem estar e segurança coletivos, contribuindo para que a cidade se desenvolva de maneira sustentável e evitando que as regras de uso do solo urbano sejam condicionadas pela obtenção de lucro / The impermeabilization of urban areas prevents the water infiltration, supports the runoff and flood concentration and interferes on its storages and trajectories. Such changes in the hydrological system increase the floods and erosion levels. These urban environmental problems reinforce the social inequalities, since the access to safe and healthy environment is uneven, low-income population occupies the areas of greatest fragility, such as steep slopes and valley bottoms. The recognition of natural hydrogeomorphological features may support an occupation proposal that facilitates the infiltration, decreasing the rainwater volume and time transfer in urban areas. In the geomorphological analysis, the slope, the hydrogeomorphological unit and the prevailing landform element are emphasized. The slope materializes the productive forces relations and transformations that compose the landscape. Therefore, this study aims to establish guidelines for urban planning in accordance with the natural characteristics of infiltration and drainage slope (latu sensu), linking urban planning and environmental analysis. It is considered that the Government should determine the spatial organization for the prosperity of the society and collective security, contributing for the development of the city in a sustainable way, preventing that the urban land rules are determined by profit
