Recent sediment transport and deposition in the Lisbon-Setubal and Cascais submarine canyons, Portuguese continental margin, were investigated on the basis of water column profiles of suspended particulate matter, records of near-bottom currents and settling fluxes of particulate matter obtained with benthic landers, and analysis of surface sediments. The results show that fine-grained predominantly lithogenic sediment derived from adjacent shelf areas accumulates in the upper reaches of the canyons. Sediment deposited further down in the middle and lower reaches of the canyons is essentially similar to the hemipelagic sediment found on the adjacent continental slope, indicating that down-canyon transport of sediment from the upper to the l...
