China study reveals common threat to subsea cables

A new study, led by Tsinghua University and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has developed a framework to better predict and manage self-accelerating turbidity currents. These powerful underwater flows are capable of damaging subsea cables and reshaping landscapes. The research, which involved institutions like the University of Wyoming and Texas Tech University, aims to protect critical underwater infrastructure. AI

    China study finds subsea cable-wrecking supercurrents more common than realised

    Scientists have known for decades that massive undersea flows called turbidity currents can reshape ocean floors and damage the vital cables which carry global internet traffic. But how they form and behave has remained elusive until now. An international team led by Tsinghua Uni…
