AAPG Bulletin, 1964
In May, 1957, a brief survey of the Congo Submarine Canyon was conducted from the Research Vessel VEMA. The canyon was found on the continental slope near the seaward limit of earlier surveys and traced to the west for 150 miles. Where the survey was discontinued, in depths of 2,200 fathoms, the leveed canyon was still a prominent feature.

"Internal Waves" Advancing along Submarine Canyons
Science, 1974Patterns of alternating up- and downcanyon currents have been traced along the axes of submarine canyons off California. The patterns arrive later at stations nearer the heads of coastal canyons. Where a canyon heads between two islands, the patterns advance down the axis.

Transport through submarine canyons
2020Exchanges of water, nutrients, and oxygen between coastal and open ocean are key components of on-shelf nutrient budgets and biogeochemical cycles. Submarine canyons are underwater topographic features that incise the continental shelf and enhance physical processes such as cross-shelf mass exchanges and mixing.

Submarine Canyons in the Bathtub
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2005Abstract Submarine megafans and their associated canyons have long attracted the attention of a large community in the earth sciences because they record the history of past erosional processes. As such, their morphology and sedimentary infill may be of use to unravel past climatic and tectonic evolution.

The submarine canyons of Kamchatka
Marine Geology, 1984Abstract A system of large submarine canyons on the continental slope off the Kamchatka Peninsula has been studied. These are the Kamachatsky, Storozh, Tyushevsky, Olga, Kronotsky, Zhupanovsky and Avachinsky canyons and they are generally controlled by fault zones and cut the Pre-Miocene basement structural elements in the cross-strike direction ...

Geostrophic adjustment over submarine canyons
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1989The geostrophic adjustment of a stratified coastal current in the presence of a submarine canyon is considered with a mathematical model in which the vertical structure of the fluid is handled with a “level” technique that represents vertical gradients by finite differences.

Exploration of California submarine canyons
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1935The writer spent a sabbatical leave from the University of Illinois investigating the canyons which have been found in abundance along the slopes off the California Coast. Many of these canyons start almost at the shore‐line and in some cases they are traceable outward to depths of over 11,000 feet.

An Hypothesis of Submarine Canyons
Geological Magazine, 1940The publication by the Geological Society of America of that momentous work by the late A. C. Veatch and P. A. Smith (1939) with its beautifully executed charts, following closely Douglas Johnson's stimulating contribution on the subject (1938), again focuses attention on those stupendous erosion-features—the “Submarine Canyons”.
