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 …

Dating methodologies for Quaternary marine sediments play increasingly important roles in
the reconstruction of paleoenvironments and paleoclimate in (paleo) oceanography …

The sediment-water interface in the coastal ocean is a highly dynamic zone controlling
biogeochemical fluxes of greenhouse gases, nutrients, and metals. Processes in the …

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 …

Hydrographic observations, suspended-sediment measurements, and historical data
indicate transport paths and sinks for sediment within the Changjiang estuary and adjacent …

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

Within the benthic boundary layer (BBL) and seabed of river-dominated ocean margins
(RiOMars), the timing, kinetics and extent of important biogeochemical processes are greatly …

Radiochemical measurements of 234 Th (t 1/2= 24days), 137 Cs (bomb-produced), and 210
Pb (t 1/2= 22y) have been used to characterize rates of mixing, deposition, and …

Stratigraphy is defined as the study of layered rocks. In the context of sedimentary geology in
general, and of this book in particular, stratigraphy is the discipline that pulls everything …

Tremendous progress has been made in the geological understanding of the Korean seas
with the advances in sophisticated exploration techniques, specifically in the areas of marine …
