This session will explore the geological processes that shape submarine canyons and their implications for benthic habitats. Presentations will focus on canyon formation, sediment transport, and the resulting impact on marine ecosystems.

This track will examine the diversity of benthic species found in deep-sea environments, highlighting the ecological roles they play. Research on species interactions, adaptations, and responses to environmental changes will be discussed.

This session will address the complex sedimentary processes occurring within submarine canyons and their influence on benthic habitats. Studies will focus on sediment transport mechanisms, deposition patterns, and their ecological consequences.

This track will present innovative methodologies for mapping and assessing benthic habitats in submarine canyons. Emphasis will be placed on remote sensing technologies, GIS applications, and field survey techniques.

This session will focus on the importance of ecological monitoring in understanding the health and dynamics of deep-ocean habitats. Presentations will cover monitoring techniques, data analysis, and case studies from various submarine canyons.

This track will explore the rich biodiversity found in submarine canyons and the conservation strategies necessary to protect these unique ecosystems. Discussions will include threats to biodiversity and effective management practices.
