Abstract The East China Seas (ECS) is one of the world's largest continental shelf seas.
Based on the combination of global sea level change and sequence stratigraphy, we …

Transgressive deposits accumulate with rising relative sea level during the landward
migration of a coastline. Particularly at short time scales (eg, 4th-to 6th-order cycles) …

Numerous cores and dating show the Yangtze River has accumulated about 1.16× 1012 t
sediment in its delta plain and proximal subaqueous delta during Holocene. High-resolution …

The sediment load delivered from the Huanghe (Yellow River) to the sea has decreased
sharply to 0.15× 109 metric tons per year (0.15 Gt/yr) between 2000 and 2005, and now …

Deltas are discrete shoreline protuberances formed where a river enters a standing body of
water and supplies sediments more rapidly than they can be redistributed by basinal …

High-resolution seismic profiles from the North Yellow Sea reveal a 20–40-m-thick
subaqueous clinoform delta that wraps around the eastern end of the Shandong Peninsula …

Despite the historical assumption that the bulk of marine “shelf” mud is deposited by gradual
fallout from suspension in quiet water, recent studies of modern muddy shelves and their …

The five largest rivers in East and Southeast Asia (Yellow, Yangtze, Pearl, Red and Mekong)
are important contributors of terrigenous sediment to the western Pacific Ocean. Although …

Newly acquired high-resolution Chirp sonar profiles reveal a unique Yellow River-derived,
alongshore distributed, bidirectional (landward and seaward) across-shelf transported …

The Gargano subaqueous delta formed on the eastern and southeastern sides of the
Gargano promontory, in the western Adriatic. This subaqueous deposit represents the …
