The South American Advances in Submarine Canyons Studies and Their Link to the Ocean Decade
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Submarine canyons have a relevant role in marine ecosystems. They are responsible for oceanographic conditions such as variability of temperature and salinity, sediment transport, nutrients, and even pollutants amongst marine areas.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
