Volcanic eruptions on land create hot and fast pyroclastic density currents, triggering tsunamis or surges that travel over water where they reach the ocean. However, no field study has documented what happens when large volumes of erupted volcanic material are instead delivered directly into We show how rapid emplacement onto steep submerged slopes triggered extremely (122 kilometers per hour) long-runout (>100 kilometers) seafloor currents. These currents were faster than those by...
Abstract With the COVID-19 pandemic came what media has deemed “port congestion pandemic”. Intensified by pandemic, commonplace anchoring of high-tonnage ships causes a substantial geomorphologial footprint on seabed outside marine ports globally, but isn’t yet quantified. We present first characterisation and extent in low port New Zealand-Aotearoa, demonstrating that ship anchors excavate up to 80 cm, with impacts preserved for at least 4 years. The calcuated volume sediment displaced one...
Abstract Submerged paloeshorelines preserved on the continental shelf indicate depths of most frequent (modal) low sea-levels within glacial stages Late Quaternary. Here we have determined south-east Australian configuration when sea level was 40 m and 60 below present-day sea-level (depths persistent paleoshorelines last 120 ka), resolve wave climate variations influencing sediment transport pathways over this period. We present evidence demonstrating that combination morphological...
One of the largest explosive eruptions instrumentally recorded occurred at Hunga volcano on 15 January 2022. The magma plumbing system under this is unexplored because inherent difficulties caused by its submarine setting. We use marine gravity data derived from satellite altimetry combined with multibeam bathymetry to model architecture and dynamics magmatic before after 2022 eruption. provide geophysical evidence for substantial high–melt content accumulation in three reservoirs shallow...
A unique index-record of Last Interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage 5e MIS5e) relative sea level (RSL) and wave climate history in South-east Australia is presented from Robbins Island, western Bass Strait. This applied to interpret the wider MIS5e coastal evidence around At combination low wind energy, a tide-modified regime sand supply resulted shoreline progradation throughout MIS5e. preserved time-series paleo-sea across 7 km wide strandplain (Remarkable Banks). After highstand, RSL...
The bottom boundary layer above sloping topography can be highly turbulent, even in deep seas. This is demonstrated here using high‐resolution 1‐Hz sampling temperature sensors that were moored for 5 months every 0.5 m between 6.5 and 61 a 572 seafloor promontory on the continental slope off Valencia, Spain. Using these data, turbulence parameters have been estimated. With time vertical, values vary over four orders of magnitude. They dominant local inertial period which modulated by an...
The shallow marine environment represents a region of high biological productivity, ecological diversity, and complex oceanographic conditions, often supports various human activities industries. Mapping the seafloor in environments reveals features detail, shedding light on range natural anthropogenic processes. We present high-resolution (2-m) multibeam dataset, combined with geologic samples that complete map from land-water interface to ~350 m water depth within Queen Charlotte...
Millions of tons material are flushed through submarine canyons during infrequent high-magnitude events, transporting coastal sediment to the deep ocean. However, observations related individual canyon flushing events challenging due destructive nature and infrequency events. The impacts one largest gravity flows in past decade were documented Kaikōura Canyon, Aotearoa−New Zealand, where >1 km3 was mobilized by 2016 CE earthquake (Mw 7.8). We present new high-resolution (<1 m)...
Recycled sources of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), such as struvite extracted from wastewater, have the potential to substitute conventional manufactured fertilizers mitigate environmental problems water eutrophication or depletion non-renewable resources. This study aimed evaluate a nitrogenous phosphate fertilizer in Spanish Mediterranean region. Two experiments were carried out using recovered sewage sludge different representative soils area. Since knowing rates at which their...
