Modern sedimentation in the N.W. Aegean Sea
TLDR
In this paper, the surface sediments have been classified into four major Provinces, as follows: (1) Province 1 ( shelf muds; (2) Province 2 ( muddy sands; (3) Province 3 (outer margin muds); and (4) Province 4 (outer shelf/shelf break).About:

The paleoclimatic interpretation of clay minerals in sediments — a review
TL;DR: In this article, the application of paleoclimatic interpretation to clay minerals from continental and marine sediments is reviewed and the advantages of this method are indicated; however, the limitations imposed on the interpretation of clay minerals in sediments are discussed on the basis of examples.

Holocene evolution in weathering and erosion patterns in the Pearl River delta
Dengke Hu,Dengke Hu,Peter D. Clift,Peter D. Clift,Philipp Böning,Robyn Hannigan,Stephen Hillier,Stephen Hillier,Jerzy S. Blusztajn,Shiming Wan,Dorian Q. Fuller +10 more
TL;DR: Sediments in the Pearl River delta have the potential to record the weathering response of this river basin to climate change since 9.5 ka, most notably weakening of the Asian monsoon since the Early Holocene (approximate to 8 ka) as mentioned in this paper.

Thermaikos Gulf Coastal System, NW Aegean Sea: an overview of water/sediment fluxes in relation to air–land–ocean interactions and human activities
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the Holocene formation and evolution of the coastal system of Thermaikos Gulf (NW Aegean Sea) is presented, which is divided into the terrestrial sub-system and the oceanic sub-System; the former represents 90% of the total area, while the latter includes only 10% of total area.

Geochemistry and mineralogy of the NW Aegean Sea surface sediments: implications for river runoff and anthropogenic impact
TL;DR: In this article, surface sediments of the NW Aegean Sea were analyzed for clay mineral composition (94 samples), organic C and carbonate content, and major and minor elements (112 samples).

Late Quaternary tectonic and sedimentary history of outer Izmir and Candarli bays, western Turkey
TL;DR: In this article, air-gun and 3.5-kHz seismic profiles from the eastern Aegean Sea off Turkey show that the continental shelf of outer Izmir and Candarli bays is formed by several superimposed deltaic sequences during times of lowered sea level associated with late Quaternary glaciations, deltas prograded seaward more than 60 km from their present positions.

The Black Sea--Geology, Chemistry, and Biology

TL;DR: The study of marginal seas has been a long-term interdisciplinary study area, and the Black Sea, being the largest anoxic basin in the world, is intriguing both chemically and geologically.

Relict Sediments on Continental Shelves: A Reconsideration
TL;DR: In this article, a spectrum of modern shelf regimes and the resulting deposits is considered, and the modification may be simulated by means of a stochastic process model, which can be found in the literature.

Sediment yield studies of headwater catchments in Sussex, S.E. England
TL;DR: In this paper, the transport of sediment from six small (0.2 to 17.6 km2) headwater catchments was described, where the catchments were located in relation to predominant lithological deposits within the Cretaceous rock succession; two of the areas were underlain by (Weald) clay, two by sandstone, and two by chalk.
