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 ...

Laboratory Studies of Internal Solitary Waves Propagating and Breaking over Submarine Canyons
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 This paper carried out laboratory experiments to study evolution of internal solitary waves (ISWs) over submarine canyons with a combination of PIV (particle image velocimetry) and PLIF (planar laser-induced fluorescence) techniques.

Impacts on the deep-sea ecosystem by a severe coastal storm [PDF]
, 2012 Major coastal storms, associated with strong winds, high waves and intensified currents, and occasionally with heavy rains and flash floods, are mostly known because of the serious damage they can cause along the shoreline and the threats they pose to ...

Cross-canyon variability in zooplankton backscattering strength in a river-influenced upwelling area [PDF]
Ocean ScienceZooplankton are a key component of food webs in upwelling systems. Their distribution is influenced not only by mesoscale and climate dynamics but also by topography and local currents.

Sea Beam Survey of an Active Strike-Slip Fault: The San Clemente Fault in the California Continental Borderland [PDF]
, 1989 The San Clemente fault, located in the California Continental Borderland, is an active, northwest trending, right-lateral, wrench fault. Sea Beam data are used to map the major tectonic landforms associated with active submarine faulting in detail ...
