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 ...

Coral forests and Derelict Fishing Gears in submarine canyon systems of the Ligurian Sea
Progress in Oceanography, 2019Biodiversity of coral forests and occurrence of Derelict Fishing Gears (DFGs) have been assessed in canyon systems of the western Ligurian Sea (Dramont, Monaco, Bordighera, Arma di Taggia and Bergeggi) exposed to different anthropic pressures ...

The characteristics of the Cayar Submarine Canyon off the coast of Senegal suggest that its evolution was controlled by submarine processes. This well-delineated, hitherto-unsurveyed canyon originates near the shoreline (10 to 20 m deep) on the upcurrent side of the Cape Verde peninsula and extends downslope to the oceanic basin.

Continuous Holocene input of river sediment to the Indus Submarine Canyon
Marine Geology, 2018Sediment supply and sea level interact to control sediment flux to deep-water submarine fans. Although some fans continue to be active during times of rising sea level, the source of sediment is not always clear and may be dominated by reworking in high ...

ABSTRACT 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.

Submarine canyon: A brief review
2023Earth's surface configuration is in constant change due to geomorphic processes in operation. These processes are responsible for initiating several features such as channels, drainage basins, incised valleys, and submarine canyons. The understanding of these features is paramount for an accurate assessment of biological, environmental and geologic ...

Mechanisms of submarine canyon formation on the northern continental slope of the South China Sea
Geological Journal, 2018Submarine canyons are common features on the northern South China Sea (SCS) continental slope. Three main submarine canyon systems were observed by multi‐beam investigation and evaluated by a pre‐existing sedimentary dataset.

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”.
