Abstract
The bibliometric analysis platform and visualization technology are used to quantitatively analyze the research characteristics in the field of submarine landslides from 2000 to 2021, and further reveal these research changes and development trends in different periods of time. The results show that: (1)The number of scientific research outputs in the field of submarine landslides has grown rapidly during the past 20 years. China is the country with the fastest growth on the submarine landslides publications,and has relatively closer cooperation with other countries. (2)By analyzing the research institutions of China and the United States,it is found that the latter has the largest number of research institutions. China's research institutions have most cooperation with other research institutions at home and abroad,and are comparatively influential. (3)The research fields on submarine landslides for the scientists at home and abroad in the past 20 years have been basically consistent. However,on the trigger mechanism,the foreign scholars have paid more attention to the tsunami-induced submarine landslides in recent years. Chinese scholars have more focused on those caused by hydrate decomposition,which can be the new trend in the future researches on submarine landslides.
