The global network of subsea fibre-optic cables plays a critical role in the world economy and is considered as strategic infrastructure for many nations. Sediment density flows have caused significant disruption to this network in the recent past. T... Read More about Damaging sediment density flows triggered by tropical cyclones.

Submarine deposits from pumiceous pyroclastic density currents traveling over water: An outstanding example from offshore Montserrat (IODP 340) (2016)
Journal Article
Jutzeler, M., Manga, M., White, J., Talling, P., Proussevitch, A., Le Friant, A., & Ishizuka, O. (2017). Submarine deposits from pumiceous pyroclastic density currents traveling over water: An outstanding example from offshore Montserrat (IODP 340). GSA Bulletin, 129(3-4), 392-414. https://doi.org/10.1130/b31448.1

Pyroclastic density currents have been observed to both enter the sea, and to travel over water for tens of kilometers. Here, we identified a 1.2-m-thick, stratified pumice lapilli-ash cored at Site U1396 offshore Montserrat (Integrated Ocean Drillin...

Long-term record of Barents Sea Ice Sheet advance to the shelf edge from a 140,000 year record (2016)
Journal Article
Pope, E., Talling, P., Hunt, J., Dowdeswell, J., Allin, J., Cartigny, M., …Watts, M. (2016). Long-term record of Barents Sea Ice Sheet advance to the shelf edge from a 140,000 year record. Quaternary Science Reviews, 150, 55-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2016.08.014

The full-glacial extent and deglacial behaviour of marine-based ice sheets, such as the Barents Sea Ice Sheet, is well documented since the Last Glacial Maximum about 20,000 years ago. However, reworking of older sea-floor sediments and landforms dur... Read More about Long-term record of Barents Sea Ice Sheet advance to the shelf edge from a 140,000 year record.

Preconditioning and triggering of offshore slope failures and turbidity currents revealed by most detailed monitoring yet at a fjord-head delta (2016)
Journal Article
Clare, M., Hughes Clarke, J., Talling, P., Cartigny, M., & Pratomo, D. (2016). Preconditioning and triggering of offshore slope failures and turbidity currents revealed by most detailed monitoring yet at a fjord-head delta. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 450, 208-220. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2016.06.021

Rivers and turbidity currents are the two most important sediment transport processes by volume on Earth. Various hypotheses have been proposed for triggering of turbidity currents offshore from river mouths, including direct plunging of river discha...
