An international team of researchers has successfully captured the internal structure of the longest-runout sediment flow ever recorded on Earth. Using seismic measurements, the researchers have for ...

A submarine landslide boulder preserved in 240-million-year-old deep-sea sediments, Dolomite Mountains. In November 1929, a large earthquake severed a transatlantic cable connecting Europe with the ...

Durham University scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in marine geoscience, revealing unprecedented insights into the dynamics of Earth’s longest runout sediment flows. By using seabed ...

Turbidity currents are an important natural process that often goes unnoticed: these powerful currents beneath the ocean ...

Daniel Orange, Ph.D., Kara Scheu, Ph.D. Geophysical hazards, such as undersea earthquakes, landslides, and sediment flows (or turbidity currents), pose significant risk to submarine cables. Submarine ...

Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of water, caused by suspended particles including clay, silt, organic matter, rust, and other fine debris. These particles scatter and absorb light, ...

Turbidity currents are an important natural process that often goes unnoticed: these powerful currents beneath the ocean surface carve deep submarine canyons, create huge sediment deposits and can ...
