Durham University Researchers Unveil Breakthrough in Understanding Turbidity Currents

Durham University scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in marine geoscience by monitoring the Earth’s longest runout sediment flows using ocean-bottom seismographs. This research revealed two massive turbidity currents in the Congo Canyon-Channel, providing vital insights into their dynamics and implications for marine ecosystems. The study enhances our understanding of sediment transport and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing marine geoscience.
