Although detailed age models exist for some marine sediment records of the last glacial
cycle (0–150 ka), age models for many cores rely on the stratigraphic correlation of benthic …

While the benthic δ 18 O records from many South China Sea sites mimic the
SPECMAP/LR04 standard, their paired planktic δ 18 O curves differ by comparable values at …

Studies on modern sediment transport and deposition, especially studies analyzing settling
particles collected with sediment traps, have rarely been carried out in the northern South …

This study examines how multiscale oceanographic processes interact with the seafloor to
influence the development of contourite features in northern part of the South China Sea …

Abstract The South China Sea (SCS) has become one of the foci in paleoceanographic
research and hydrocarbon explorations over the last 20 years. Over the period, at least 16 …

Deep ocean circulation is widely considered as one of the important factors for increasing
CO2 concentration and decreasing radiocarbon activity (Δ14C) of the atmosphere during the …

We analyzed the terrigenous fraction of a sediment core from the northern slope of the South
China Sea, to better understand the depositional history of the region since the Last Glacial …

Glacial-to-interglacial variations in East Asian summer and winter monsoon are widely
ascribed to orbital and/or global ice-sheet forcing. However, the relative impact of orbital and …

Reconstructing the role of provenance and transport mechanism of sediments deposited in
deep-water environments is often complex because of myriad of factors such as variability in …

Deep water bottom current (DWBC) plays a central role in global climate. Relative to the
Atlantic, due to poor preservation of marine carbonate in the Pacific sediments, the evolution …
