Meandering channels formed by geophysical flows (e.g. rivers and seafloor turbidity currents) include the most extensive sediment transport systems on Earth. Previous measurements from rivers show how helical flow at meander bends plays a key role in... Read More about A general model for the helical structure of geophysical flows in channel bends.

Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons (2017)
Journal Article
Azpiroz-Zabala, M., Cartigny, M., Talling, P., Parsons, D., Sumner, E., Clare, M., …Pope, E. (2017). Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons. Science Advances, 3(10), Article e1700200. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1700200

Seabed-hugging flows called turbidity currents are the volumetrically most important process transporting sediment across our planet and form its largest sediment accumulations. We seek to understand the internal structure and behavior of turbidity c... Read More about Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons.

Direct monitoring of active geohazards: emerging geophysical tools for deep-water assessments (2017)
Journal Article
Clare, M., Vardy, M., Cartigny, M., Talling, P., Himsworth, M., Dix, J., …Belal, M. (2017). Direct monitoring of active geohazards: emerging geophysical tools for deep-water assessments. Near Surface Geophysics, 15(4), 427-444. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2017033

Seafloor networks of cables, pipelines, and other infrastructure underpin our daily lives, providing communication links, information, and energy supplies. Despite their global importance, these networks are vulnerable to damage by a number of natura...

A new model for turbidity current behavior based on integration of flow monitoring and precision coring in a submarine canyon (2017)
Journal Article
Symons, W., Sumner, E., Paull, C., Cartigny, M., Xu, J., Maier, K., …Talling, P. (2017). A new model for turbidity current behavior based on integration of flow monitoring and precision coring in a submarine canyon. Geology, 45(4), 367-370. https://doi.org/10.1130/g38764.1

Submarine turbidity currents create some of the largest sediment accumulations on Earth, yet there are few direct measurements of these flows. Instead, most of our understanding of turbidity currents results from analyzing their deposits in the sedim...
