TL;DR: In this paper, the histories of chemical weathering in the drainage basins of the Changjiang and Huanghe based on the chemical compositions of the river sediments are reconstructed, and the similarity of chemical compositions between upper continental crust and the Huanghe sediments as well as the low degree of Chemical Weathering in Huanghe Basin imply that the river sediment can be considered to be the representative of UCC and are suitable for studying the evolution of continental crust.

TL;DR: In this paper, rare earth elements (REEs) of 91 fine-grained bottom sediment samples from five major rivers in Korea (the Han, Keum, and Yeongsan) and China (the Changjiang and Huanghe) were studied to investigate their potential as source indicator for Yellow Sea shelf sediments, this being the first synthetic report on REE trends for bottom sediments of these rivers.

TL;DR: In this article, rare earth elements (REEs) of bulk sediments and heavy mineral samples of core sediments from the South Sea shelf, Korea, were analyzed to determine the constraints on REE concentrations and distribution patterns as well as to investigate their potential applicability for discriminating sediment provenance.

TL;DR: The overall marine pollution mainly by the world-class steel industrial complex in this semi-enclosed bay area studied does not currently pose a serious threat, but the countermeasures to implement the sediments concentrated with heavy metals, especially at the old port with no seawater circulation, are still warranted for this coastal water environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new high-resolution mercury (Hg) record from the Okinawa Trough sediments is presented, which provides robust evidence for the glacial-interglacial variabilities of the Kuroshio Current (KC) inflow.
