   Sammanfattning : Submarine canyons are major geomorphic features, transporting large quantities of sediments from land to the deep sea. These sediments contain nutrients, enabling life in the deep sea and potentially forming hydrocarbon reservoirs. LÄS MER

3. 2. Upper slope sedimentation environments in the Gaoping river-sea system of SW Taiwan

   Kandidat-uppsats, Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

   Författare :Lina Hansson; [2013]
   Nyckelord :Marine geology; sediment; Pb210; Grain size; Taiwan; hyperpycnal;

   Sammanfattning : The Gaoping Slope, off the south west coast of Taiwan, is a tectonically active sedimentation environment attaining most of its sediment from the Gaoping River. This study examines sediment cores from two localities at 375 m and 495 m water depth by using X-radiography, Grain size- and 210Pb analysis, with the purpose of comparing the sedimentation environment at the two sites and examine how they were both affected by high sediment delivery during typhoon Morakot.
