GEBCO: associated meeting, proposer and year of proposal (en): Associated meeting: SCUFN-33. Proposer: Ph.E. O’Brien, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia; and L. Armand, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. History: 2018. |

GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Australian research vessel "Investigator". Year of discovery: 2017. History: Manang means “pool of water” in the language of the Noongar people who are the indigenous people of the part of Australia that was adjacent to the Sabrina Coast before continental break up and drift. The name was chosen because canyons in the area have sections of reverse gradient known as scour pools which would form pools of water in a river. |
