The distributions, sources, annual sedimentation and atmospheric deposition flux of heavy
metals in surface sediments of the North Yellow Sea (NYS) were investigated. Higher …

Geochemical compositions and sedimentation rates of surface and core sediments in the
central south Yellow Sea were analyzed for the identification of sediment origins. The …

In order to interpret the marine clastic record preserved in the sedimentary basins of the East

loads derived from the Yellow River (Huanghe) and the Yangtze River (Changjiang) …

The Jiang harbor-centered radial sand ranges (RSRs) off the Jiangsu coast are the largest
in the Yellow Sea. However, the provenance of the RSRs remains controversial. In this …

Abstract The North Jiangsu radial sand ridges (NJRSR) are typical sedimentary bodies
distributed along the continental margin of China. Historically, the Yellow and Changjiang …
