Summary
Submarine channel networks move large amounts of material from the continent to the seafloor. They are constructed by turbidity currents on continental margins. This project will conduct novel lab experiments that will accurately represent turbidity currents for the first time. The lab results will be used to develop sophisticated models of submarine channel formation. Understanding turbidity currents has important implications as these rapid flows through submarine channels can threaten infrastructure such as submarine data cables. The project is an international collaboration between scienti
