Submarine canyon systems focusing sub-surface fluid in the Canterbury Basin, South Island, New Zealand [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 This work uses a high-quality 3D seismic volume from offshore Canterbury Basin, New Zealand, to investigate how submarine canyon systems can focus sub-surface fluid.

Linking Direct Measurements of Turbidity Currents to Submarine Canyon-Floor Deposits
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Submarine canyons are conduits for episodic and powerful sediment density flows (commonly called turbidity currents) that move globally significant amounts of terrestrial sediment and organic carbon into the deep sea, forming some of the largest ...

Observations of diapycnal upwelling within a sloping submarine canyon [PDF]
NatureSmall-scale turbulent mixing drives the upwelling of deep water masses in the abyssal ocean as part of the global overturning circulation1. However, the processes leading to mixing and the pathways through which this upwelling occurs remain ...

Earthquakes drive large-scale submarine canyon development and sediment supply to deep-ocean basins [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2018 Coseismic canyon flushing reveals how earthquakes drive canyon development and deep-sea sediment dispersal on active margins. Although the global flux of sediment and carbon from land to the coastal ocean is well known, the volume of material that ...

Species and Functional Diversity of Deep-Sea Nematodes in a High Energy Submarine Canyon
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Gaoping Submarine Canyon (GPSC) off southwestern Taiwan is a high energy canyon connected to a small mountain river with extremely high sediment load (∼10 kt km–2 y–1).

Marine Geology, 2020 The Capbreton submarine canyon is a striking feature of the south-east of the Bay of Biscay. This canyon forms a deep incision through the continental shelf and slope, and displays remarkable structures linked to its present-day hydrosedimentary activity.

Co-occurring nematodes and bacteria in submarine canyon sediments [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 In submarine canyon sediments, bacteria and nematodes dominate the benthic biomass and play a key role in nutrient cycling and energy transfer. The diversity of these communities remains, however, poorly studied.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The submarine canyons are an important clue to study the evolution process of seafloor geomorphology and they generally indicate the significant linear grooves on the seafloor related to seafloor geodynamic erosion during the evolution of geomorphology ...

Microbial communities in sunken wood are structured by wood-boring bivalves and location in a submarine canyon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The cornerstones of sunken wood ecosystems are microorganisms involved in cellulose degradation. These can either be free-living microorganisms in the wood matrix or symbiotic bacteria associated with wood-boring bivalves such as emblematic species of ...

Foraging behaviour and ecology of transient killer whales within a deep submarine canyon system. [PDF]
PLoS ONETransient killer whales have been documented hunting marine mammals across a variety of habitats. However, relatively little has been reported about their predatory behaviours near deep submarine canyons and oceanic environments.
