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 …

There has been much research interest in the use of submarine canyons by cetaceans,
particularly beaked whales (family Ziphiidae), which appear to be especially attracted to …

Ocean processes are generally large scale on the US Pacific Northwest coast; this is true of
both seasonal variations and event-scale upwelling-downwelling fluctuations., which are …

Transport of relatively warm, nutrient-rich Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto continental
shelves around Antarctica has important effects on physical and biological processes …

Although scientists have long believed that, in an eastern boundary current system,
alongcoast wind stress is responsible for the upwelling of deep nutrients that initiates …

Short, shelf-break canyons are shown to have a substantial influence on local water

Abstract The Pacific Northwest (PNW) shelf is the most biologically productive region in the
California Current System. A coupled physical‐biogeochemical model is used to investigate …

The response over a submarine canyon to a several day upwelling event can be separated
into three phases: an initial transient response; a later, much longer,“steady” advection …
