Post doc researching turbidity currents by #DirectMonitoring at @GeogDurham, #PhD from @sos_bangor_uni. I ♥ flumes, fieldwork and process sedimentology! She/her

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

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!

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

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

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!

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

@MadgeJesss Yes!

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

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 🤞🤞

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

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

[Louise Amoore @AmooreLouise]

1500 postcards from students to @durham_uni VC in solidarity with @ucuatdurham on #UCUstrike #USSMess #fourfights

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.

[Mary Kelly Foy MP @marykfoy]

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

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

Well done to everyone in the horrible weather! 🌧️☔️🌧️#UCUstrike #OneOfUsAllOfUs

@IvyTheSpy @brit_seds Congratulations Yvonne! 🥳

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

Stunning bathymetric maps also included! 👇

[Sean Ruffell @ruffell_sean]

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!)

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

@AntarcticJenny @IapetusDTP Fab photo! 😍

[Meg Baker @Sed_Meg]

For those missing the Olympics😉Fantastic to be back in the lab at @sos_bangor_uni

[Jaco H. Baas 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇱⚒️⛰️🌊🚶🥘🎶⚽ @Making_Ripples]

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 :-)
