TL;DR: Based on the combination of global sea level change and sequence stratigraphy, the authors systematically investigated the evolution of sedimentary system in the East China Seas (ECS) since the last glacial maximum (LGM).
205 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined sediment deposition and suspended sediment dispersal off the modern Yellow River mouth from the data of topographic maps, suspension and bed sediments, current and salinity, which were measured in the field.
103 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a 44-year data record measured by Lijin Hydraulic Station on the Yellow River shows that sediment concentration has been increasing while river discharge has been decreasing into the delta since the 1970s.

TL;DR: Based on monthly averaged current, temperature, and salinity, this paper analyzed the changes of suspended sediment concentration and the relationship with the warm current, coastal current, and cold water mass (CWM) in the East China Seas (ECSs).
Abstract: Based on monthly averaged current, temperature, and salinity, we analyzed the changes of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and the relationship with the warm current, coastal current, and cold water mass (CWM) in the East China Seas (ECSs). The result shows that the coastal current and surface diluted water are the route for transporting suspended sediment. The Kuroshio and its derived warm current branches play the important role of the continental shelf circulation system and control the diffusion of suspended sediment. High SSC has been mainly concentrated in coastal current and CWM. Two sedimentary dynamic patterns have been identified. The winter-half-year pattern lasts almost 7 months. The coastal currents off the Shandong Peninsula, northern Jiangsu, Zhejiang-Fujian coast are the main routes for diffusion and deposition of the suspended sediment from the Yellow River and Changjiang River. The summer-half-year pattern is characterized by the well-developed CWM. All CWMs have a unique function to trap suspended sediment under the thermocline due to weakening tidal current and residual current there. These CWMs in the Yellow Sea (YS) and north ECS are connected together. The layer above the thermocline is characterized by diluted water with low salinity, high temperature. Suspended sediment can be transported into the Okinawa Trough and the South Korea coast during this period. A strong eddy always occur nearby the Kuroshio bend at northeast Taiwan, which has promoted the exchange between the ECS shelf and Okinawa Trough, and the development of the shelf edge current and Taiwan warm current (TWC).

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation and formation mechanism of the mud deposit in the central South Yellow Sea of China during the last 40kyr are studied based on the analysis of particle size, sediment density, chemical features, magnetic properties and AMS 14 C ages of a new core YS01A together with other available core data.

TL;DR: A 23-year database of calibrated and validated satellite altimeter measurements is used to investigate global changes in oceanic wind speed and wave height over this period and finds a general global trend of increasing values of windspeed and, to a lesser degree, wave height.
Abstract: Wind speeds over the world’s oceans have increased over the past two decades, as have wave heights. Studies of climate change typically consider measurements or predictions of temperature over extended periods of time. Climate, however, is much more than temperature. Over the oceans, changes in wind speed and the surface gravity waves generated by such winds play an important role. We used a 23-year database of calibrated and validated satellite altimeter measurements to investigate global changes in oceanic wind speed and wave height over this period. We find a general global trend of increasing values of wind speed and, to a lesser degree, wave height, over this period. The rate of increase is greater for extreme events as compared to the mean condition.

TL;DR: 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 influenced by large riverine inputs of dissolved and particulate terrestrial materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a book that can be recommended for new readers is dynamics and modelling of ocean waves, which is not kind of difficult book to read and can be read and understand by the new readers.
Abstract: Preparing the books to read every day is enjoyable for many people. However, there are still many people who also don't like reading. This is a problem. But, when you can support others to start reading, it will be better. One of the books that can be recommended for new readers is dynamics and modelling of ocean waves. This book is not kind of difficult book to read. It can be read and understand by the new readers.

TL;DR: Sediment fingerprinting is a technique that is increasingly being used to improve the understanding of sediment dynamics within river basins as mentioned in this paper, however, one of the main limitations of the technique is the ability to link sediment back to their sources due to the non-conservative nature of many of the sediment properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the changing pattern of accretion and erosion of the modern Yellow River subaerial delta with GIS tools from 1976 to 2000, totaling twenty scenes, and found that the maximum erosion occurred at the head of the last two abandoned promontories, where the coastline retreated landward over − −7 and − 4.5 km, respectively, with mean net erosion rates of − 0.29 and −0.19 km/a, respectively.
