Earthquake-Triggered Turbidity Currents



Beneath the tranquil Marmara Sea, seismic forces sculpt the underwater landscape. Suspended sediment-laden currents surge, triggered by earthquakes. These turbidity currents intrigue scientists and can affect critical infrastructure like submarine cables and pipelines.

Our recent application note reveals observations by the SeaGuard instrument—a multiparameter current meter stationed on Istanbul's seabed. Brace for mud flows, and unconventional currents as we explore underwater mysteries and their profound impact on the marine environment.
