Cretaceous to Cenozoic controls on the genesis of the shelf-incising Perth Canyon
Channel: GeoscienceAustralia
Date: 2022-03-24

Perth Canyon is Australia's second largest submarine canyon, and its elongate and continental shelf-incising morphology contrasts with Australia’s more prolific slope-confined canyons. This seminar will describe the application of a new, internationally-collaborative mapping approach to capture the complexity of the canyon and to link its modern morphology to subsurface data and thereby reconstruct its geological evolution.
