Abstract Changes in riverine suspended and riverbed sediments have environmental,
ecological and social implications. Here, we provide a holistic review of water and sediment …

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 …

Abstract The Yangtze (Changjiang) mega-delta, China, has a high risk of coastal erosion
owing to the recent high rate of relative sea-level rise and reduced sediment supply. The …

A regional ocean circulation model (ROMS) is used to simulate the Chinese land‐derived
sediment transport in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea (BYECS). The model …

Abstract The Changjiang (Yangtze) delta in eastern China is one of the largest tide-
dominated deltas in the world. To obtain a more detailed information on its initiation, we …

Densely populated coasts are vulnerable to storm damage. Episodic storm-induced
redistribution of coastal sediment is known to have major geological and ecological …

The grain size of river sediments changes systematically downstream from source to sink,
and is influenced by catchment lithology, geomorphology, hydrology, oceanography and, in …

Isotopic compositions of coeval sulfide and sulfate have been widely employed to
reconstruct the seawater chemistry evolution over geologic time; however, these signals can …

Two sedimentary cores in the Minjiang River estuary (SE China) are documented for grain
size, clay minerals, heavy metals, magnetic parameters and Pb isotopes to investigate the …

Marginal seas are estimated to account for up to 90% of organic carbon (OC) burial in
marine sediments, and thus play an important role in global carbon cycle. However …
