Depositional canyon heads at the edge of narrow and tectonically steepened continental shelves: Comparing geomorphic elements, processes and facies in modern and outcrop examples

Our work shows how the nature of the infill and the depositional processes at the canyon heads are dependent on the shelf width and can give hints on the degree of evolution of the canyon itself. In addition, our work shows how the location and character of river entry points is important in dictating lateral facies variations within canyon heads.
