Mud on the Move

by Bas den Hond 21 May 201928 September 2021

Powerful submarine flows known as turbidity currents are starting to give up their secrets.

The first field measurements of deep-sea turbidity currents reveal the mechanism behind how they transport sediment so far.

How Do Deep-Sea Gravity Currents Transport Sediment So Far?

by Terri Cook 2 March 2018

The first field measurements of turbidity currents flowing around submarine channel bends indicate spiral flow plays a key role in keeping sediment suspended for hundreds of kilometers.

A new study uncovers the influence of sediments from high-discharge events on the transfer of momentum between water layers in the Guadalquivir River Estuary.

Dam Discharge Events Alter Water Flow in an Estuary in Spain

by Sarah Stanley 24 April 2017

Three-year observations suggest that increased sediment concentrations inhibit vertical transfer of momentum between water layers for more than 2 months after a high-discharge event.
