Submarine channels of the Orinoco River were analyzed using high-quality, dense- coverage bathymetric and seismic data provided by a recent marine survey on the southern Barbados prism.

Slope analysis of the major channels was performed. From their headwaters to domains of little or no active tectonics, the channels display
