TLDR
In this paper, a high-resolution study of clay mineralogy and major element geochemistry has been conducted on high sedimentation rate cores (MD01-2393 and MD97-2150) collected off the Mekong River mouth in the southwestern South China Sea in order to reconstruct the erosional and weathering history of Mekong Basin.

Development of the East Asian monsoon: Mineralogical and sedimentologic records in the northern South China Sea since 20 Ma

TL;DR: In this paper, the past change of the East Asian monsoon since 20 Ma using samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1146 in the northern South China Sea based on a multi-proxy approach including a monomineralic quartz isolation procedure, identification of clay minerals by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and grain-size analysis of isolated terrigenous materials.

Climatic and tectonic controls on weathering in south China and Indochina Peninsula: Clay mineralogical and geochemical investigations from the Pearl, Red, and Mekong drainage basins

TL;DR: The results of clay mineralogy, major element geochemistry, and Sr and Nd isotopes in 93 argillaceous samples collected from drainage basins of the Pearl, Red, and Mekong rivers reveal different degrees of chemical weathering in Southeast Asia despite similar climate conditions across these regions as mentioned in this paper.

World-Wide Delivery of River Sediment to the Oceans

TL;DR: The authors showed that rivers with large sediment loads (annual discharges greater than about $15 \times 10^{6}$ tons) contribute about $7 −times 10 −9$ tons of suspended sediment to the ocean yearly.

Age dating and the orbital theory of the ice ages: Development of a high-resolution 0 to 300,000-year chronostratigraphy

TL;DR: Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.

Geomorphic/Tectonic Control of Sediment Discharge to the Ocean: The Importance of Small Mountainous Rivers

TL;DR: In this paper, data from 280 rivers discharging to the ocean indicates that sediment loads/yields are a log-linear function of basin area and maximum elevation of the river basin.

The atmospheric input of trace species to the world ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess current data in this area, develop global scale estimates of the atmospheric fluxes of trace elements, mineral aerosol, nitrogen species, and synthetic organic compounds to the ocean; and compare the atmospheric input rates of these substances to their input via rivers.
