Post doc researching turbidity currents by #DirectMonitoring at @GeogDurham, #PhD from @sos_bangor_uni. I ♥ flumes, fieldwork and process sedimentology! She/her
Our @theAGU paper shows seabed seismometers can record ground vibrations from turbidity currents, enabling us to safely measure powerful canyon-flushing flows. @GeogDurham
Multidisciplinary research with sedimentologists, seismologists, and engineers!

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...🤔
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!
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 🤞🤞
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...
This morning, in solidarity with colleagues on the @UCU@ucuatdurham@ucuedinburgh picket lines, I have submitted my letter of resignation as External Examiner for UG Geography degrees at Durham University. Sent my dismay direct to the Vice-Chancellor. #fourfights#UCUstrike
Are you watching closely @durham_uni ? Do you want to be on the right side of history in this? Read the judge’s decision & ask yourself if you still back #USS directors.
Solidarity with @ucuatdurham 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
How much sediment was eroded from the Congo Canyon due to the longest runout sediment flows ever monitored? Find out at my #BSRG21 talk today at 14:15! (Spoiler Alert: It's a lot!)
Quiz: Two sediment gravity flows carrying 17 volume% bentonite (smectite) clay. One with 4 vol% fine sand added, on without the sand. Which is the flow with sand? Scale on flume wall is in feet. Winner gets Welsh cakes next time we meet. @Sed_Meg is not allowed to compete :-)
