Astonishing paper! 😮

#Seamount basalts trap fluids. When the seamount subducts, it fractures the hanging wall. The basalt cracks (#earthquakes!) and fluids escape, allowing #slowslip on the #megathrust. Documented in #Hikurangi! 🤩 1/2

Check out this crab surrounded by cold-water coral reef at 800mdepth on George Bligh Bank! Located northwest of the Outer Hebrides, GBB is a biodiversity & geodiversity hotspot. As such it is protected as part of the West of Scotland #MPA #deepsea https://t.co/YujTeWQvjX 2/3

Ecstatic to see #DeepLinks showcased in the #DiscoveringTheDeep photo exhibition. Spectacular George Bligh Bank hosts Bubblegum coral (Paragorgia) & yellow zoanthids, Sea fan & fan shaped sponges, & Lepidion (fish), Gorgonocephalus&purple soft corals (Anthothela grandiflora). 1/3

New iAtlantic publication:

This is the 1st study to assess the extent of noise pollution at a cold-water #coral reef & provides a baseline which can inform future sustainable management decisions 🔽
