Sandwave migration in Monterey Submarine Canyon, Central California
Repeated high-resolution multibeam bathymetric surveys from 2002 through 2006 at the head of theMonterey Submarine Canyon reveal a sandwave field along the canyon axis between 20 and 250 m water depth. These sandwaves range in wavelength from 20 to 70 m and 1 to 3 m in height. A quantitative measure was devised to determine the direction of sandwave migration based on the asymmetry of their pro...
متن کاملSwept Away: Protein Mobility in the Phloem.
Transport of macromolecules through the phloemhas received increasing interest since thediscovery thatFLOWERINGLOCUST(FT) moves from leaves to the shoot apical meristem, where it induces flowering (Corbesier et al., 2007), indicating thatmacromolecules such as proteins andRNAcan act asmobile regulators of gene expression in distant tissues. Indeed,Molnaretal. (2010)usedgrafting between Arabidop...
متن کاملNewly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons
Seabed-hugging flows called turbidity currents are the volumetrically most important process transporting sediment across our planet and form its largest sediment accumulations. We seek to understand the internal structure and behavior of turbidity currents by reanalyzing the most detailed direct measurements yet of velocities and densities within oceanic turbidity currents, obtained from weekl...
متن کاملIdentification of Temporal Shifting Trends of Submarine Indus Canyon, Pakistan
Indus Canyon is one of the most prominent sub-aqueous features of the Indus Delta. Indus River, originating from the Manasarovour Lake, hosting at the foot of high Himalayan Mountains Glaciers, forms a huge delta after travelling more than 300 km at the north eastern coastline of the Arabian Sea. In view to assess the temporal geomorphic change associated with the Indus Canyon, a study has been...
متن کاملMixing and phytoplankton dynamics in a submarine canyon in the West Antarctic Peninsula
Bathymetric depressions (canyons) exist along the West Antarctic Peninsula shelf and have been linked with increased phytoplankton biomass and sustained penguin colonies. However, the physical mechanisms driving this enhanced biomass are not well understood. Using a Slocum glider data set with over 25,000 water column profiles, we evaluate the relationship between mixed layer depth (MLD, estima...
