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!

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 judgeβs 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!

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!)

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 π

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

Over a year of preparation, delays, adjustments, a pandemic, changes to the research plan, but so worth it looking at these clay flows π

Turbidity currents in the news!! ππ
Awesome BBC coverage of our work on recent turbidity currents that travelled >1200 km & broke seafloor data cables offshore Africa, slowing the internet for millions @DurUniEarthSci @BBCAmos @NERCscience @NOCnews @EEIatHull @Ifremer_fr @angola_cables β‘οΈ
