| Summary | It was a widely held opinion that submarine canyons were cut during the glacial stages of low sea level and now are essentially dormant features, disturbed only on rare occasions by high-speed turbidity currents of torrential proportions. Published in 1979 after a 10-year study, this volume contradicts this concept of the canyons, with years of measurements of currents in the axes of canyons and in other types of sea valleys. |
