Bioavailability of sinking organic matter in the Blanes canyon and the adjacent open slope (NW Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Submarine canyons are sites of intense energy and material exchange between the shelf and the deep adjacent basins. To test the hypothesis that active submarine canyons represent preferential conduits of available food for the deep-sea benthos, two ...

Improving the predictive capability of benthic species distribution models by incorporating oceanographic data – Towards holistic ecological modelling of a submarine canyon

Progress in Oceanography, 2020
Submarine canyons are associated with increased biodiversity, including cold-water coral (CWC) colonies and reefs which are features of high conservation value that are under increasing anthropogenic pressure.

The Chimei Submarine Canyon and Fan: A Record of Taiwan Arc‐Continent Collision on the Rapidly Deforming Overriding Plate

Tectonics, 2020
The Chimei Canyon is a large, uplifting wedge‐top submarine canyon offshore eastern Taiwan that has delivered sediment since ~1–2 Ma from the rapidly eroding Taiwan orogen to the Chimei Fan in the Huatung Basin, east of the colliding Luzon Arc.

The influence of a submarine canyon on the wind-driven downwelling circulation over the continental shelf [PDF]

Ocean Science
The 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.

Seafloor litter sorting in different domains of Cap de Creus continental shelf and submarine canyon (NW Mediterranean Sea).

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
We analyzed litter occurrence in 68 underwater video transects performed on the middle/outer continental shelf and submarine canyon off Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean), an area recently declared Site of Community Importance (SCI).

The Influence of a Submarine Canyon on the Circulation and Cross-Shore Exchanges around an Upwelling Front

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2020
The response of a coastal ocean numerical model, typical of eastern boundaries, is investigated under upwelling-favorable wind forcing and with/without the presence of a submarine canyon.

The Whittard Canyon – A case study of submarine canyon processes [PDF]

Progress in Oceanography, 2016
Submarine canyons are large geomorphological features that incise continental shelves and slopes around the world. They are often suggested to be biodiversity and biomass hotspots, although there is no consensus about this in the literature. Nevertheless, many canyons do host diverse faunal communities but owing to our lack of understanding of the ...

How is particulate organic carbon transported through the river-fed submarine Congo Canyon to the deep sea? [PDF]

Biogeosciences
The 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.
