Journal Article
Yin, S., Pope, E. L., Lin, L., Ding, W., Gao, J., Wu, Z., …Li, J. (2021). Re-channelization of turbidity currents in South China Sea abyssal plain due to seamounts and ridges. Marine Geology, 440, Article 106601. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2021.106601

Turbidity currents can be characterized as net-erosive, net-depositional or net-bypassing. Whether a flow is erosive, depositional or bypasses depends on the flow velocity, concentration and size but these can also be impacted by external controls su...

Novel sensor array helps to understand submarine cable faults off West Africa (2021)
Working Paper
Talling, P., Baker, M., Pope, E., Cula, C., Cartigny, M., Faria, R., …Nunny, R. (2021). Novel sensor array helps to understand submarine cable faults off West Africa

Seabed telecommunication cables can be damaged or broken by powerful seafloor flows of sediment (called turbidity currents), which may runout for hundreds of kilometres into the deep ocean. These flows have the potential to affect multiple cables nea... Read More about Novel sensor array helps to understand submarine cable faults off West Africa.
