Canyon and Channels Eos article
Looks like I am going crazy with
title capitalization. Oh well. This is the first entry in the
Science category. This is for anything non-Mars specific
and hopefully lots of information relevant to my thesis! Here is
another interesting Eos article:
Cap Timiris Canyon: A Newly Discovered Channel System offshore of
Mauritania
S. Krastel el al
Eos Transactions, 85-42, 19-Oct-2004, P 417,423
For starters, I did not know where Mauritania is situated. It is
off the west coast of Africa, south of the Canary Islands. These
authors mapped parts of a huge channel system that has no large
present day river system at its head. They show a core and a small
seismic line through the area. I have not read the article in
detail to comment, but it looks promising. Could use a more in
depth journal article with more and larger seismic lines and a much
bigger multibeam figure!
