An international research team has mapped a giant underwater avalanche that took place nearly 60,000 years ago in the Agadir Canyon. Researchers at the University of Liverpool have traced the path of a massive underwater avalanche that expanded over 100 times its initial size while wreaking havoc along the Atlantic seabed. This landmark study provides detailed insights into the dynamics and scale of such avalanches, emphasizing their potential threat to crucial underwater infrastructure like internet cables.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday.
