Canyon Head Processes

Canyon Head Processes is a geological process model that describes the mechanisms of sediment erosion, transport, and deposition occurring at the upstream terminus of submarine canyons, distinguishing it from processes in canyon flanks or deep-sea fan regions by focusing on headward extension and slope instability dynamics.
