Observed circulation and inferred sediment transport in Hudson Submarine Canyon
Velocity and temperature time series from Hudson Submarine Canyon and hydrographic surveys of seven canyons of the Middle Atlantic Bight indicate that the effects of storms, tides, and incoming internal waves are intensified in submarine canyons. Storms with strong eastward and westward wind stress …

The Effect of Submarine Canyon Width and Stratification on Coastal Circulation and Across Shelf Exchange
… used to investigate the effect of the width of a submarine canyon and stratification on adjacent coastal circulation and across shelf exchange. Upwelling winds for 20 d drive circulation over six canyons of varying widths (8–60 km), two escarpments to represent infinitely wide canyons, and a …

Multi-Disciplinary Analyses of Outcropping Late Cretaceous Clinoform Stratigraphy, Magallanes Basin, Chile
… basins. Clinoforms, shelf-edge deltas, submarine canyons, and deep-water channels are central components of these systems, yet their stratigraphic architecture, sediment-routing behaviour, fluid trapping potential, and influence on organic matter preservation are commonly studied …

Thermal conditions in Monterey Bay during September 1966 through September 1967 and January 1970 through January 1971.
… bay with most located over the axis of Monterey Submarine Canyon or in the southern half of the bay. Temperature data from three transects taken out to a distance of some 80 miles in August 1970 were compared to observed thermal conditions in the bay during four quasi-synoptic (one to three day) …

The chaetognaths of the Dillon Beach area and their possible use as indicators of water movements
… observations near the head of Bodega Submarine Canyon, twenty-five miles west of Bodega. Along with routine plankton tows taken for the C.C.O.F.I program, another tow was taken which was retained at Pacific Marine Station. From the latter, I have taken the material for the following …

Infragravity waves over topography : generation, dissipation, and reflection
… from, and transmission across, a steep-walled submarine canyon is consistent with long-wave theory. A generalized regional model incorporating these results predicts the observed infragravity wave amplitudes over variable bottom topography.

Caracterização das unidades sísmicas, processos sedimentares e idade do cânion Almirante Câmara, bacia de Campos
… and evolution of the Almirante Camara submarine canyon were identified using seismic lines. Interpretation of these lines allowed mapping the main reflectors and division of sedimentary package in seismic units. The units were correlated with depositional sequences observed by other …

Bottom currents and abyssal sedimentation processes south of Iceland
… are present in the axis of the major submarine canyon. ‘ Sandy contourite' deposits beneath the axis of the Iceland-Scotland Overflow Current are very poorly sorted muddy sands lacking primary sedimentary structures. Bioturbation is inferred to cause the unique characteristics of these …

A study of the pelagic gastropods of the Dillon Beach area pteropods and heteropods
… and sampling the plankton at the head of Bodega Submarine Canyon, located twenty-five miles west of Bodega Bay. Two plankton tows were taken on each ocean run. One of the samples, along with collection and hydrographic data, was sent to Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The other sample was …

The East Greenland Coastal Current : its structure, variability, and large-scale impact

Characterization of the East China Sea Continental Shelf Circulation Northeast of Taiwan surrounding Mien-Hua Canyon
Submarine canyons have a proven and direct influence on continental shelf circulation and flow dynamics, especially in relation to western boundary currents. There are two key circulation features northeast of Taiwan on the East China Sea continental shelf: (1) the cold dome, a cyclonic feature …

Investigation into the post-mortem transport of benthic foraminifera
