A study by Tsinghua University and international partners reveals that undersea turbidity currents are more common than previously believed, forming in unexpected environments like reservoirs and lakes, and offers a framework to better predict and manage these flows.

• Scientists found turbidity currents are more common than thought, forming in places like reservoirs and lakes.
• The study provides a framework to predict and manage these currents to protect underwater infrastructure.
• The research was conducted by an international team including Tsinghua University and other institutions.
