Nice to see @SedLogic and Liam Keavney on the news!

#microplastics are making it to the deep seafloor, carried by turbidity currents - but what controls where they ultimately end up? Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester researchers performed experiments in the Eurotank @UtrechtUni to find out!



Last night’s BSRG AGM provided an overview of the past year including a spotlight on some of the sedimentological studies that have been profiled in the media incl work by @TwistedChannel Dr Lorna Strachan 🌊🔨 @FreijaMendrik Ed Keavney @SedLogic Meg Baker Dr Rebecca Williams et al





💥Middlesbrough FC get the Emirates FA Cup 4th Round started with a bang! 🙌 HUGE victory away at Old Trafford. ✨ The magic of the cup!








Great to have Ed Keavney visiting National Oceanography Centre working on seafloor samples and ROV footage from deep sea canyons to assess microplastics pollution. Thanks to BOSCORF for providing access during their busy refurb! Linked to @CLASS_UKRI work in Whittard Canyon w Dr ir Veerle Huvenne


Great 2 weeks in Aotearoa New Zealand discussing submarine canyon, volcano & geohazards research w Isobel Yeo of National Oceanography Centre. Thanks to hosts at @niwa_nz (@RockDrWatson and co), University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau (Shane Cronin), AUT University (Marta Ribo), INCISE (Joshu Mountjoy), GNS Science Te Pū Ao (Suzanne Bull)


Research led by Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester and co-led by NOC has discovered that deep-sea microplastic hotspots are created by fast-moving underwater avalanches. 🔁 Find out more about the powerful flows and their impacts on our website 📰 noc.ac.uk/news/scientist…
