Submarine Canyons, Channels, and Processes That Shape the Seafloor

Session ID#: 80642

Session Description:
Submarine canyons and channels feed vast amounts of sediment and organic carbon into the deep sea via flows that shape the seafloor. These sediment transport processes, and resulting geomorphology and stratigraphy, can record tectonic, paleoclimatic, paleoseismic, and paleoceanographic changes, pose hazards for seafloor infrastructure, provide benthic habitats, and introduce nutrients and contaminants to ecosystems. Recent studies and technological advances have propelled our ability to link flows with deposits and morphological change, particularly through instrumental and seafloor observations and high-resolution imaging. We encourage multidisciplinary contributions from the full range of submarine canyon, channel, and turbidity current studies, from how sediment enters canyons to distal submarine fans. Contributions may include measurements of turbidity currents and internal tides, quantification of surficial features and morphologic change through seafloor mapping and observation, stratigraphic architecture from subsurface and outcrop datasets, geochemical analysis of deep-sea sediments and organic carbon, as well as physical and numerical modelling.
