Clinoforms are inclined and normally basinward-dip** horizons developed over a range
of spatial and temporal scales in both siliciclastic and carbonatic systems. The study of …

Clinoforms are ubiquitous deltaic, shallow-marine and continental-margin depositional
morphologies, occurring over a range of spatial scales (1–10 4 m in height). Up to four types …

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 …

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 …

A predominant sigmoidal clinoform deposit extends from the Yangtze River mouth
southwards 800km along the Chinese coast. This clinoform is thickest (∼ 40m) between the …

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 …

Shoreline and shelf‐edge trajectories describe the migration through time of sedimentary
systems, using geomorphological breaks‐in‐slope that are associated with key changes in …

Holocene and slightly pre-Holocene submarine landslide are found both in high-latitude
glacial-dominated margins and in lower latitude, river-dominated margins. This paper …

The present knowledge of Holocene continental shelf deposits in relation to the processes
for their formation, from the prospective of marine sediment dynamics, is examined. Over the …
