Understanding sediment dynamics of two large submarine valleys from seafloor data: Blanes and La Fonera canyons, northwestern Mediterranean Sea

A comprehensive model of the sedimentary functioning of the canyoned north Catalan margin that integrates seafloor information and background data on dynamic processes is presented, which could be of application to other continental margins worldwide. Such an integrative view is eased by the enormous, unprecedented multidisciplinary research effort carried out in the study area over the last three decades.
