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.

Frontal wedge variations and controls of submarine landslides in the Negros–Sulu Trench System, Philippines

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Frontal wedge characteristics provide clues to the efficiency of the overriding slab for large displacement during megathrust and upper-plate earthquakes, whereas submarine landslides along active margins may trigger or amplify tsunamis.

Identifying Habitats of Conservation Priority in the São Vicente Submarine Canyon in Southwestern Portugal

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Identifying vulnerable marine habitats is fundamental to promote evidence-based management and a sustainable use of our oceans. Although progress in the mapping of marine benthic habitats has been made, complex ecosystems such as submarine canyons remain

The Concavity of Submarine Canyon Longitudinal Profiles [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021
AbstractSubmarine canyons incise continental shelves and slopes, and are important conduits for the transport of sediment, nutrients, organic carbon and pollutants from continents to oceans. Submarine canyons bear morphological similarities to subaerial valleys, such as their longitudinal (long) profiles.

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 ...

Bathymetrical distribution and size structure of cold-water coral populations in the Cap de Creus and Lacaze-Duthiers canyons (northwestern Mediterranean) [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Submarine canyons are known as one of the seafloor morphological features where living cold-water coral (CWC) communities develop in the Mediterranean Sea.

Distribution and sources of organic matter in submarine canyons incising the Gulf of Palermo, Sicily: A multi-parameter investigation [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Submarine canyons act as conduits of terrigenous and marine organic carbon (OC) to deep-sea environments, although the contribution of each of these sources can largely vary depending on the canyon morphology and the prevailing sedimentary dynamics.

Evolution of submarine canyons and hanging-wall fans: insights from geomorphic experiments and morphodynamic models [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics
Tectonics play a significant role in shaping the morphology of submarine canyons, which form essential links in source-to-sink (S2S) systems. It is difficult, however, to investigate the resulting morphodynamics over the long term.

Flow dynamics around downwelling submarine canyons [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2014
Flow dynamics around a downwelling submarine canyon were analysed with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model. Blanes Canyon (northwestern Mediterranean) was used for topographic and initial forcing conditions ...
