What a fab video! 👇😍 #FlumeFriday

Awesome to see our Natural Environment Research Council #congo project profiled by Jonathan Amos on #WorldHydrographyDay with Durham Earth Science's Ed Pope's beautiful bathy maps of the submarine canyon and channel 🙌

Top of fresh mudflow deposit, 3 hours after 'birth'. Channel is 20 cm wide. Meg Baker back at Ocean Sciences.

For those missing the Olympics😉Fantastic to be back in the lab at Ocean Sciences

Stunning bathymetric maps also included! 👇

Solidarity with Durham UCU and UCU staff across the country who begin 10 days of strike action today. As ever you have my complete support and solidarity. ✊️ #OneOfUsAllOfUs #UCUStrikes

Data acquisition has started on research cruise #DY173 aboard the Discovery! We are collecting a multi beam survey of the deep-sea Congo lobe to see how powerful turbidity currents have changed the morphology...

First ADCP being deployed in the distal channel of the Congo Submarine Fan on #DY173. Perfect weather for it! 😎 Fingers crossed it stays there for the next 14 months 🤞🤞

CTD being deployed in the Congo Submarine channel on #DY173. Interested to see how much of a turbidity maximum there is in the channel for our water sampling!

A busy few days collecting sediment cores from the lobe of the Congo Submarine Fan! Already splitting the cores and seeing some fascinating deposits and trends across the lobe...🤔

Students from Ocean Sciences hard at work monitoring our multibeam survey of the upper Submarine Congo Canyon on #DY173!
