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 ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The influence of a submarine canyon on the wind-driven downwelling circulation over the continental shelf [PDF]
Ocean ScienceThe response of a coastal ocean model, simulating a typical eastern boundary system, to downwelling-favorable winds with and without the presence of a submarine canyon is studied.

Nature, 2006 The continental slope is a steep, narrow fringe separating the coastal zone from the deep ocean. During low sea-level stands, slides and dense, sediment-laden flows erode the outer continental shelf and the continental slope, leading to the formation of submarine canyons that funnel large volumes of sediment and organic matter from shallow regions to ...

How is particulate organic carbon transported through the river-fed submarine Congo Canyon to the deep sea? [PDF]
BiogeosciencesThe transfer of carbon from land to the near-coastal ocean is increasingly being recognized in global carbon budgets. However, a more direct transfer of terrestrial organic carbon to the deep sea is comparatively overlooked.

Application of a lagrangian transport model to organo-mineral aggregates within the Nazaré canyon [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 In this study, a hydrodynamic model was applied to the Nazaré submarine canyon with boundary forcing provided by an operational forecast model for the west Iberian coast for the spring of 2009.

Morphological Significance and Relation of Ecosystems of Submarine Canyons off SW Taiwan
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 There are four shelf-incising submarine canyons off SW Taiwan. They are distributed along the active continental margin, which is periodically flushed by gravity flows.

Distribution and sources of organic matter in submarine canyons incising the Gulf of Palermo, Sicily: A multi-parameter investigation [PDF]
BiogeosciencesSubmarine canyons act as conduits of terrigenous and marine organic carbon (OC) to deep-sea environments, although the contribution of each of these sources can largely vary depending on the canyon morphology and the prevailing sedimentary dynamics.
