Our @theAGU paper shows seabed seismometers can record ground vibrations from turbidity currents, enabling us to safely measure powerful canyon-flushing flows. @GeogDurham Multidisciplinary research with sedimentologists, seismologists, and engineers! πŸ‘‰agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

A busy few days collecting sediment cores from the lobe of the Congo Submarine Fan! Already splitting the cores and seeing some fascinating deposits and trends across the lobe...πŸ€”

CTD being deployed in the Congo Submarine channel on #DY173. Interested to see how much of a turbidity maximum there is in the channel for our water sampling!

First ADCP being deployed in the distal channel of the Congo Submarine Fan on #DY173. Perfect weather for it! 😎 Fingers crossed it stays there for the next 14 months 🀞🀞

Data acquisition has started on research cruise #DY173 aboard the Discovery! We are collecting a multi beam survey of the deep-sea Congo lobe to see how powerful turbidity currents have changed the morphology...

This morning, in solidarity with colleagues on the @UCU @ucuatdurham @ucuedinburgh picket lines, I have submitted my letter of resignation as External Examiner for UG Geography degrees at Durham University. Sent my dismay direct to the Vice-Chancellor. #fourfights #UCUstrike

Are you watching closely @durham_uni ? Do you want to be on the right side of history in this? Read the judge’s decision & ask yourself if you still back #USS directors.

KCL President @ewanmcg and Neil Davies @Bristol_UCU win a crucial legal battle in their case against USS and the USS Directors. The USS deficit is democratic not economic. We will stop the pension theft! #OneOfUsAllOfUs

How much sediment was eroded from the Congo Canyon due to the longest runout sediment flows ever monitored? Find out at my #BSRG21 talk today at 14:15! (Spoiler Alert: It's a lot!)

Quiz: Two sediment gravity flows carrying 17 volume% bentonite (smectite) clay. One with 4 vol% fine sand added, on without the sand. Which is the flow with sand? Scale on flume wall is in feet. Winner gets Welsh cakes next time we meet. @Sed_Meg is not allowed to compete :-)

Awesome to see our @NERCscience #congo project profiled by @BBCAmos on #WorldHydrographyDay with @DurUniEarthSci's Ed Pope's beautiful bathy maps of the submarine canyon and channel πŸ™Œ

We need to get a move on if we're to meet the deadline of 2030 for producing the definitive map of the world's ocean floor. As for all activities, Covid has made the past year a tad tricky. bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir… @seabed2030 @fugro #worldhydrographyday

Mapping quest edges past 20% of global ocean floor

We need a complete picture of Planet Earth and that means finally acquiring a definitive seabed map.

Over a year of preparation, delays, adjustments, a pandemic, changes to the research plan, but so worth it looking at these clay flows 😍 #FlumeFriday IπŸ’›#mud @EEIatHull
