  abstract = {{E}arthquake-induced submarine slope destabilization is known to cause mass wasting and turbidity currents, but the hydrodynamic processes associated with these events remain poorly understood. {I}nstrumental records are rare, and this notably limits our ability to interpret marine paleoseismological sedimentary records. {A}n instrumented frame comprising a pressure recorder and a {D}oppler recording current meter deployed at the seafloor in the {S}ea of {M}armara {C}entral {B}asin recorded the consequences of a {M}-w 5.8 earthquake occurring on 26 {S}eptember 2019 and of a {M}-w 4.7 foreshock 2 d before. {T}he smaller event caused sediment resuspension and weak current (< 4 cm s(-1)) in the water column. {T}he larger event triggered a complex response involving a debris flow and turbidity currents with variable velocities and orientations, which may have resulted from multiple slope failures. {A} long delay of 10 h is observed between the earthquake and the passing of the strongest turbidity current. {T}he distance traveled by the sediment particles during the event is estimated to have extended over several kilometers, which could account for a local deposit on a sediment fan at the outlet of a canyon (where the instrument was located), but the sedimentation event did not likely cover the whole basin floor. {W}e show that after a moderate earthquake, delayed turbidity current initiation may occur, possibly by ignition of a cloud of resuspended sediment.},
