In a first, scientists capture underwater landslides as they happen

Researchers from Durham University have captured underwater landslides as they happen in real time for the first time. Using sonar, they recorded around 30 small landslides over 11 days in Canada's Homathko Delta. Underwater landslides can damage seabed cables, pipelines and offshore wind turbine foundations, while carrying sediment, carbon and pollutants into deeper waters.
