Connections between fluvial to shallow marine environments and submarine canyons: Implications for sediment transfer to deep water
The heads of submarine canyons represent a critical link in the transfer of sediment from
terrestrial sources to deep basin sinks. Here we report data on grain size, bathymetry, and …
