Submarine turbidity currents form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth, raising the
question of their role in global carbon cycles. It was previously inferred that terrestrial …

Seafloor sediment flows, called turbidity currents, form the largest sediment accumulations,
deepest canyons and longest channels on Earth. It was once thought that turbidity currents …

Submarine landslides pose a hazard to coastal communities as they can generate powerful
tsunamis, and threaten critical offshore infrastructure such as seafloor cable networks that …

A global network of subsea telecommunications cables underpins our daily lives, enabling>
95% of global digital data transfer, $ trillions/day in financial trading, and providing critical …

Sediment, nutrients, organic carbon and pollutants are funnelled down submarine canyons
from continental shelves by sediment-laden flows called turbidity currents, which dominate …

Marine litter is one of the most pervasive and fast-growing aspects of contamination in the
global ocean, and has been observed in every environmental setting, including the deep …

Among the predicted responses to ongoing climate warming is that coastal and inland areas
may experience increasingly extreme weather, with potentially more droughts and floods …

Quantification of the controls on turbidity current recurrence is required to better constrain
land to sea fluxes of sediment, carbon and pollutants, and design resilient infrastructure that …

Contrary to widely used traditional sequence‐stratigraphic models, highstand sublacustrine
fans developed in the deep‐water environment in the middle of the third member of the …

Here we show how ultra‐high resolution seabed mapping using new technology can help to
understand processes that sculpt submarine canyons. Time‐lapse seafloor surveys were …
