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,

Effects of Depositional Processes in Submarine Canyons and Distribution of Gas Chimneys on Gas Hydrate Accumulation in the Shenhu Sea Area, Northern South China Sea

Energies, 2022
Previous gas hydrate production tests conducted by the Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey (GSGM) in 2017 and 2020 indicated the great potential of gas hydrates in the Shenhu Sea area in the Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB), China.

Controls of Submarine Canyons Connected to Shore during the LGM Sea-Level Rise: Examples from Taiwan

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) (~20,000 years ago), the sea level was lower than that during the present day by 120 m and the heads of most submarine canyons were close or connected to the coastline or shore, with enhanced terrestrial sediment ...

Europe’s Grand Canyon: Nazaré Submarine Canyon [PDF]

Oceanography, 2009
The Nazaré submarine canyon extends ~ 210 km westward from the coast of Portugal, down to a water depth of > 4500 m. The considerable habitat heterogeneity found throughout the canyon is affected by strong currents and high turbidity, especially in the upper parts of the canyon.

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 ...

Influence of the summer deep-sea circulations on passive drifts among the submarine canyons in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2019
Marine biophysical models can be used to explore the displacement of individuals in and between submarine canyons. Mostly, the studies focus on the shallow hydrodynamics in or around a single canyon.

Tectonic Influence on the Geomorphology of Submarine Canyons: Implications for Deep-Water Sedimentary Systems

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
A database-informed metastudy of 294 globally distributed submarine canyons has been conducted with the aim of elucidating the role of tectonic setting on submarine-canyon geomorphology.

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 ...

Submarine Small-Scale Features of Cyclic Steps in the Penghu Canyon: Implications for the Migration of Canyon

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The submarine canyons are an important clue to study the evolution process of seafloor geomorphology and they generally indicate the significant linear grooves on the seafloor related to seafloor geodynamic erosion during the evolution of geomorphology ...

Morphological Significance and Relation of Ecosystems of Submarine Canyons off SW Taiwan

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
There are four shelf-incising submarine canyons off SW Taiwan. They are distributed along the active continental margin, which is periodically flushed by gravity flows.
