Cross shelf-break exchange is limited by the tendency of geostrophic flow to follow
bathymetric contours, not cross them. However, small scale topography, such as canyons …

Dense water overflow off continental shelves (cascading) is one of the contributing
processes of shelf-deep ocean exchange, and of topical interest to climate studies and …

The continental slope is a steep, narrow fringe separating the coastal zone from the deep
ocean. During low sea-level stands, slides and dense, sediment-laden flows erode the outer …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

In this exciting and innovative textbook, two leading oceanographers bring together the
fundamental physics and biology of the coastal ocean in a quantitative but accessible way …

The coastal upwelling region of the California Current System (CalCS) is a well‐known site
of high productivity and lateral export of nutrients and organic matter, yet neither the …

The dynamics that occur at the Porcupine Bank, Rockall Trough, are described in relation to
the role the bank, and others like it, may play in the development of deep-water corals, such …

There is a growing need across different disciplines to develop better predictive tools for flow
conditions of density and turbidity currents. Apart from resorting to complex numerical …

Seismic profiles, sidescan sonar data, bottom photography and sampling proved for the first
time that there are giant carbonate mounds (bioherms) in the Rockall Trough. The Pelagia …

Cascading is a specific type of buoyancy‐driven current in which dense water formed by
cooling, evaporation, or freezing in the surface layer over the continental shelf descends …
