Offshore geohazards and seabed mobility
This research stream is focussed on offshore hazards, with particular attention to the mobility of the seabed – whether through large scale geological events, or local scale sediment transport processes. This report is divided into two broad areas. We have extensive activity to report on the subject of seabed mobility, through studies around the O-Tube program (see also the separate report on t...
متن کاملTurbidity Currents and Seabed Morphology
Our main goal is to assess the hydrodynamics of turbidity currents and mudflows and their ability to produce morphological features such as ripples, dunes, antidunes and gullies along their paths. Of particular interest is to elucidate the role played by turbidity currents on the inception of submarine channels and canyons. To this end, understanding the mechanics of sediment erosion, including...
متن کاملUnfolding large-scale online collaborative human dynamics
Large-scale interacting human activities underlie all social and economic phenomena, but quantitative understanding of regular patterns and mechanism is very challenging and still rare. Self-organized online collaborative activities with a precise record of event timing provide unprecedented opportunity. Our empirical analysis of the history of millions of updates in Wikipedia shows a universal...
متن کاملModeling Synchronization Loss in Large-Scale Brain Dynamics
We implement a model of the large-scale dynamics of the brain, and analyze the effect of both shortand long-range connectivity degradation on its coordinated activity, with the ultimate goal of comparing the structural and functional characteristics of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. A preliminary comparison between the results obtained with the model and the activity measured i...
متن کاملLarge-scale decline in offshore seagrass meadows in Bermuda
Bermuda is an isolated 5560 ha chain of limestone islands on a 150 000 ha seamount located near 32° N, 64° W. Meadows of tropical and subtropical seagrasses, dominated by Thalassia testudinum and Syringodium filiforme, are found from inshore bays out to the inner edge of the rim reef that encircles the platform. Fine-scale computerized mapping and subsequent broad-scaled field assessment of sea...
