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 …

Extensive research into the changing sediment load throughout the Yangtze River
(Changjiang) basin has been completed over recent years, and it provides an ongoing …

Elucidating the mechanisms governing microplastic transport and spatial distribution in
offshore waters is essential to microplastic control. However, current research on …

Clay mineralogy of surface samples throughout the northeastern South China Sea (SCS)
and surrounding fluvial drainage basins has been investigated to reveal source and …

Self-organizing map (SOM) was used to explore the spatial characteristics of water quality in
the middle and southern Fujian coastal area. Nineteen water quality variables (temperature …

Surficial grain-size and down-core clay mineralogical data show that sediment along the
inner-most part of the continental shelf in East China Sea is mainly derived from the Yangtze …

The water discharge and sediment load of rivers are changing substantially under the
impacts of climate change and human activities, becoming a hot issue in hydro …

Trend of precipitation and runoff in major Chinese rivers was calculated and compared in
order to better quantify the hydrological processes and evaluate the role of human activities …

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 …

Recent studies show that the global flux of river-derived sediment reaching the coasts and
oceans is about 15-19 x 109 tons per year. New sediment budgets for the major Asian river …
