Abstract
New mapping by Geoscience Australia has identified 713 submarine canyons on the Australian margin and an additional 40 within external territorial seas. Ninety-five canyons are classified as shelf-incising and the remainders are located on the continental slope and classed as blind canyons. A range of metrics were derived to describe canyon form and distribution and used to identify morphologically unique canyons. This poster illustrates this dataset in the context of the national network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves.
