The slope of the sea floor down from the north side of St. Croix Island to the Virgin Island Basin, with an average declivity of 50%, is among the steepest scarps that have been surveyed to date. Apparently the north side of the island is cut off by

Currents in the heads of two canyons off the north shore of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands are characterized by slow velocity with high-frequency alternations of direction and occasional periods of relatively strong downcanyon flows; the latter occur

In the past there has been little attempt made to describe and explain the various types of sea arches that are found along the coasts of the world. Since we have some good examples of arches, shown in old photographs around the Point La Jolla area i

Dives in Lockheed's submarine “Deep Quest” followed the floor of the fan valley and outer gorge of Coronado Canyon, southwest of the California—Baja California border. Both the fan valley and outer gorge have meandering courses. Basin depressio

Earlier work indicated that currents move alternately up and down the floors of submarine canyons with greater average speeds and longer duration downcanyon. Now we find there are roughly synchronous movements up to at least 34 m above the canyon flo

A 45-km belt of large symmetrical sediment waves extends along the west coast of Mexico west of Manzanillo between depths of 320 and 770 m. They are thought to be the result of a strong subsurface current that changes seasonally from southeast to nor

Alternating up- and downcanyon currents in the heads of submarine canyons have high-frequency reversals, and, in general, the time interval between alternations increases with depth of the canyon axis until it approximates the period of semidiurnal t

Alternating up- and downcanyon currents with velocities up to 50 cm/sec are found in submarine canyons. These alternations have patterns that usually can be matched between adjacent stations in the same canyon, even where separated by as much as 16 k

At the shallow heads of canyons and seavalleys (shoaler than about 250 m), currentmeter records have shown high frequency of up- and downvalley alternation, but in the seavalley off the Fraser Delta at an axial depth as shallow as 85 m, the alternati
