Our new paper led by Ricarda Gatter of MARUM shows the value of micro-CT scanning, revealing surprisingly fine-scale porosity changes which has wide application to landslide & subsurface fluid flow assessments. https://t.co/Gnp3aWy9rE

Thanks to @NERCscience for enabling this research which shows how turbidity currents transport and concentrate microplastics in the deep sea
Research led by @UoM_EES 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 📰 https://t.co/2p0Bz2UO5w

Great to see this paper out that shows for the first time how turbidity currents transport microplastics into the deep sea based on direct observations.
Thrilled to announce that our paper is out online today in Environmental Science & Technology!👏 Huge thanks to all the co-authors: Ian Kane, @MikeAClare, @EuanSoutter, @FuruMienis , @RWogelius and @EdwardKeavney!👍 Open Access:

Absolutely remarkable work by the crew for making this happen! And orchestrated impeccably by @isobelyeo - a very complicated operation indeed
Recovering the final OBEM! We’ve deployed and recovered 67 instruments on this expedition and, while you never put anything you’re not willing to lose in the sea, it’s very nice to bring everything home. Thanks to the crew for their support with operations. @NOCnews @NERCscience

Science is a team sport and we’re not the only people working around Santorini. Today we collected and redeployed two seismometers to assist our colleagues @GEOMAR_en better monitor recent seismic activity. This is them before they went back into the water. @NOCnews @UKRI_News
