The Concavity of Submarine Canyon Longitudinal Profiles [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021 Submarine canyons incise continental shelves and slopes, and are important conduits for the transport of sediment, nutrients, organic carbon and pollutants from continents to oceans. Submarine canyons bear morphological similarities to subaerial valleys,

Europe's Grand Canyon: Nazaré Submarine Canyon [PDF]
Oceanography, 2009 The Nazaré submarine canyon extends ~ 210 km westward from the coast of Portugal, down to a water depth of > 4300 m. The considerable habitat heterogeneity found throughout the canyon is affected by strong currents and high turbidity, especially in the ...

Fish biophony in a Mediterranean submarine canyon.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020 Although several bioacoustics investigations have shed light on the acoustic communication of Mediterranean fish species, the occurrence of fish sounds has never been reported below -40 m depth.

Upwelling and Mixing in a Supercritical Submarine Canyon
Geophysical Research LettersRhodamine dye was released on the seafloor near the head of a supercritically sloped submarine canyon in La Jolla, California. Fluorometers on a moored profiler and a ship‐towed CTD simultaneously tracked dispersion of the dye patch along and across ...

Impacts of seafloor characteristics on three-dimensional sound propagation in a submarine canyon [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2023 Three-dimensional (3D) underwater sound propagation in a submarine canyon is investigated with a numerical model and a dataset collected in a towed source experiment. This study emphasizes the impacts of seafloor bathymetry and sediment properties, which

Role of dense shelf water in the development of Antarctic submarine canyon morphology
Geomorphology, 2021 Increased ocean heat supply to the Antarctic continental shelves is projected to cause accelerated ice sheet loss and contribute significantly to global sea-level rise over coming decades.

Carbon and sediment fluxes inhibited in the submarine Congo Canyon by landslide-damming
Nature Geoscience, 2022 Landslide-dams, which are often transient, can strongly affect the geomorphology, and sediment and geochemical fluxes, within subaerial fluvial systems.

Deep-sea scavenging amphipod assemblages from the submarine canyons of the Western Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Submarine canyons have often been identified as hotspots of secondary production with the potential to house distinct faunal assemblages and idiosyncratic ecosystems. Within these deep-sea habitats, assemblages of scavenging fauna play a vital role in

Response of the benthic biomass-size structure to a high-energy submarine canyon
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionBody size regulates all biological processes, including growth, reproduction, metabolism, trophic interactions, etc., and is the master trait across organisms, populations, and communities.
