Hazards
Geological hazards, High impact low probability event
The aim of this innovation project was to transfer knowledge about turbidity currents based on recent field measurements, with respect to risks posed to seafloor infrastructure. The project identified new monitoring tools and developed an improved model to enable more realistic impact assessments.
