The particles collected in a sediment trap in the Gaoping Submarine Canyon provided a high resolution PAH profile that traces typhoon (Kalmaegi) induced particle movement. Results provide further evidence that submarine canyons are an effective conduit for transporting terrestrial contaminants such as PAHs, particularly as typhoon-related hyperpycnal plumes at river mouths and ensuing turbidity currents in the submarine canyon. Observations here show that two typhoon-triggered turbidity currents passed the sediment trap. The beginnings of the two turbidity currents showed strong pyrogenic signatures suggesting coal and biomass burning sources. These turbidity currents carried enormous amounts of particulate PAHs (510 kg in 12.5 h), which accounted for 42% of the annual PAH flux from the Gaoping River. The PAH signature allowed the typhoon effect to be broken into five stages: (I) period before the typhoon effect (marine sources), (II) typhoon induced currents (resuspended sediments), (III) down-canyon flow (pyrogenic particles from northwestern shelf), (IV) river plume impact with two turbidity currents (arrival of terrestrial particles), and (V) end of typhoon discharge of anthropogenic PAHs to the canyon head.
