	abstract = {The Poverty margin was sampled in 2005 and 2006 as part of an international initiative to examine the terrestrial and marine sedimentary response to natural and human impacts on dispersal systems at mud-dominated coasts: the NSF MARGINS Source-to-Sink Initiative. Pb-210 accumulation rates generally decrease from similar to 1 g/cm(2) y in the mid-shelf depocenter on the outer shelf to similar to 0.1 g/cm2 y on the mid-slope plateau (range 0.04-2.53 g/cm(2) y). Higher accumulation rates are observed all along the outer Poverty shelf, extending over the shelf break onto the upper Poverty slope in canyons and gullies. Rates are fast in gullies that incise into the shelf edge (0.75-1 g/cm(2) y), particularly in the area between Waipaoa Canyon and Poverty Canyon, and in the axis of Poverty Canyon (1.29-1.89 g/cm(2) y). Below similar to 1200 m water depth, rates in the axis of Poverty Canyon are no more rapid than those found at open slope cores in similar water depths (0.12-0.15 g/cm(2) y). Excess Pb-210 profiles generally exhibit steady state characteristics, except in the axis of Poverty Canyon, where non-steady-state Pb-210 profiles are observed. Cs-137 was not found above minimum detection limits or above statistical background levels in any cores from the Poverty margin. Be-7 was found distributed widely along and across the margin during both summer and winter periods, observed to depths of up to 4cm. Widespread presence of Be-7 on the margin in both winter and summer suggests that terrestrially derived sediment is reaching the outer shelf and upper slope throughout the year. A sediment budget based on Pb-210 accumulation rate data shows that approximately 13-18\% of the Waipaoa annual discharge is accumulating on the outer Poverty margin as a whole, and approximately 11-15\% of the annual discharge is accumulating on the continental slope alone. Notably, approximately 28\% of the sediment annually accumulating in the outer margin is being sequestered in slope gullies and canyons, although they represent only 6\% of the area of the outer margin.

	abstract = {Submarine canyons are major geomorphologic features on the Earth{\textquoteright}s surface. Their formation has received considerable debate, but their demise has received less attention. Research of modern canyons with cores and moorings has documented active sediment transport and deposition, but extrapolation of these local observations over larger areas is precluded by complex canyon geomorphology. High-resolution multibeam and chirp data presented here provide convincing evidence of an infilling canyon head on the Waipaoa River margin of New Zealand. Tens of meters of Holocene sediment have accumulated on the outer shelf and in Lachlan canyon as a result of off-shelf sediment transport. Regardless of the ultimate fate of this system over geological time scales, this research demonstrates highstand sedimentation as a possible mechanism for canyon burial and cause of canyon demise, which has important implications for the evolution of canyons globally.},

	abstract = {A key marker for examining the latest Pleistocene history of the New Jersey margin is the high-amplitude, long-recognized R-horizon reflector. This time-transgressive surface was formed 4733 ka and represents the integrated topographic and bathymetric surface developed during the complicated sea-level oscillation associated with the regression that preceded the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). From landward to seaward across the outer shelf, the R reflector changes from subhorizontal, in most locations < 9 m beneath the modern seafloor, to seaward dipping, forming the base of two of flapping sediment wedges: the previously described outer-shelf wedge and a deep-shelf wedge seaward of it. This transition occurs across two inflection zones, where the dip of the R reflector steepens seaward, that can be traced for tens of kilometers along strike and mark the landward limits of these wedges. These inflection zones are possibly former wave-dominated shorefaces; these represent the primary topographic elements present during the last regression. We speculate that these inflections dictated both the locations for deposition of the two prograding, of flapping wedges that developed during the complex sea-level fall prior to the LGM and their successive erosion before and after the LGM. We suggest that such inflection zones and their associated wedges are important markers of regression in clastic-dominated outer-shelf settings along passive margins.},
