Description: This dataset was created utilizing an objective system to inventory locations and names of large submarine canyons on the United States OCS in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The objective system utilized bathymetric data for average and maximum width, length and average and maximum depth of canyons to select ‘large’ submarine canyons for inclusion in this study. For the purposes of this study, submarine canyons were defined as “steep-walled, sinuous valleys with V-shaped cross sections, axes sloping outwards as continuously as river-cut land canyons and relief comparable to even the largest of land canyons”. One of the challenging portions of the selection process was the identification of individual canyons. While some canyons are spatially isolated from others and visually distinctive using various bathymetric data sources, others are more difficult to distinguish individually because of their proximity and overlapping or nearly overlapping dendritic patterning, especially in their shallower extents. Fortunately, a recent paper (Harris et al. 2014[1]) provided an authoritative description of many of these major canyons and was the starting point for development of the methods used in this study to determine the canyon boundaries. However, to develop a more objective methodology for this study, the basis for choosing the boundaries was based on defensible, accepted methods. In summary, the methods included: 1) examination of bathymetric datasets across all regions; 2) utilization of a series of tools within the Esri hydrology analysis Basin toolkit to extract the approximate Harris thalweg to define stream orders from the resulting flow accumulation output; 3) association of seafloor slope with canyons by examining the bathymetric raster for its cumulative frequency distribution of the slope values in SAS (2016) using PROC UNIVARIATE to sequentially eliminate the flatter slopes; 4) establishment of buffer spatial extents utilizing the 4.6th(2 Standard Deviations [SD]) percentile to determine the steepest slopes.
