Challenging the highstand-dormant paradigm for land-detached submarine canyons [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Powerful avalanches were recorded for the first time in an underwater canyon that lies 100 s of km from land. This challenges a long-held view and indicates > 1000 similar canyons worldwide actively pump sediment and pollutants into the deep-sea.

Marine litter in submarine canyons: A systematic review and critical synthesis
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The presence of marine litter is of concern in submarine canyons, although research in this area is still in its infancy. A critical synthesis and literature review selecting studies with primary data of benthic marine litter at depths of over 50 m ...

Transport and accumulation of litter in submarine canyons: a geoscience perspective
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Marine litter is one of the most pervasive and fast-growing aspects of contamination in the global ocean, and has been observed in every environmental setting, including the deep seafloor where little is known about the magnitude and consequences of the ...

Submarine canyon development controlled by slope failure and oceanographic process interactions [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe southeastern Australian margin hosts a series of submarine canyons. Although the origin and evolution of canyons within the northwestern segment of the margin is relatively well studied, their quantitative morphology, interaction with longshore drift

Foraging behaviour and ecology of transient killer whales within a deep submarine canyon system. [PDF]
PLoS ONETransient killer whales have been documented hunting marine mammals across a variety of habitats. However, relatively little has been reported about their predatory behaviours near deep submarine canyons and oceanic environments.

Cascades in Mediterranean Submarine Grand Canyons [PDF]
Oceanography, 2009 Continuous monitoring of water-column and near-bottom hydrosedimentary processes in the Mediterranean Sea over the last 15 years has resulted in a novel view of the functioning of this land-locked sea. Destratification of the water column and fast, dense,
