Submarine canyon-channel systems play a critical role as potential conduits for warm-water upwelling around Antarctica, potentially influencing ice-sheet stability. Integrating multibeam bathymetry, seismic profiles, and morphometric analysis, this study identifies 29 canyon-channel systems along the Adélie Land margin and reveals clear morphological contrasts between the Adélie Depression and the Adélie Bank. Systems in the Depression are elongated, slightly sinuous, and dendritic, with downstream increases in width-to-depth ratio, whereas those on the Bank are shorter, isolated, and single-branched, with irregular along-thalweg variations. Mann-Whitney U tests show significant differences in sinuosity and thalweg gradient (p < 0.01). These contrasts reflect the combined effects of shelf-slope topography, sediment supply, and ice-sheet dynamics. In the Depression, steep slopes, focused glacial sediment input from the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, and associated progradational wedges and mass transport deposits promote mass failures and turbidity-current incision. Strong correlations among canyon-channel length, width, and depth indicate coherent scaling under concentrated sediment supply. In contrast, gentler slopes and lower sediment input on the Bank produce simpler systems. These results highlight how glaciated-margin canyon morphology records coupled sedimentary and ice-sheet–ocean processes. |
