There is considerable geological and geophysical evidence               that downslope sediment deformations occur due to creep on or                   within many submarine slopes.  The rate of creep is primarily                   controlled by the configuration of the slope and the sediment                   type.                                                                                   The objective of this research program is to understand the             mechanisms of creep and creep rupture and be able to predict                    creep deformations both quantitatively as well as qualitatively.                To achieve this goal four distinct phases of work are proposed:                 a geological/geophysical analysis, a laboratory testing program                 to determine creep related material properties and to verify                    constructive models, development of a finite element procedure to               analyze creep deformations, and laboratory physical models to                   study deformation patterns under simplifed conditions.
