Controls of Submarine Canyons Connected to Shore during the LGM Sea-Level Rise: Examples from Taiwan
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) (~20,000 years ago), the sea level was lower than that during the present day by 120 m and the heads of most submarine canyons were close or connected to the coastline or shore, with enhanced terrestrial sediment input due to direct connections with river mouths...
