Prodigious submarine landslides during the inception and early growth of volcanic islands

As volcanic islands grow via subaerial shield-building and edifice growth, large submarine landslides occur. Here, the authors reconstruct the emergence of the Canary Islands via turbidites created by submarine landslides as the islands grew, showing that slides are multi-stage.
