Submarine canyons are a ubiquitous feature of continental margins worldwide and their complex geomorphology controls several physical processes that intensify the exchange of water masses, nutrients and carbon across the shelf break – from shallow shelf seas to the deep open ocean, and vice versa. In this seminar, I will illustrate three important shelf break exchange processes that are strongly controlled by submarine canyon geomorphology and discuss their interdisciplinary impacts. I will then highlight some previous and current research into these processes, applied to an exemplar submarine canyon close to the UK, and introduce two exciting upcoming projects that will further elucidate our understanding.
