“…Sand ridge occurrence indicated by erosion risk Tidal sand ridges may develop if the tidal currents meet the criteria favorable for sand ridge formation ( Yang, 1989;Uehara et al, 2002) . Liu et al (1998) suggested a critical tidal current speed of 150 cm / s for the accretion of shallow ridges and coast tidal flats.…”

“…More and more coastal engineering projects like offshore construction or seabed pipeline routing request to estimate the potential of erosion on the seafloor bottom surface, to investigate the occurrence of special bottom morphology, e. g. tidal sand ridge distribution and development along Chinese coasts ( Liu et al, 1998;Swift, 1975;Wang et al, 2012;Yang, 1989) . Considering the variety of bottom sediment types and specific sediment distribution patterns, a methodology of assessing and quantifying the status of bottom dynamics is required, studying the natural dynamics of surface sediment and its interaction with human activities.…”

The Shallow-Marine Architecture Knowledge Store (SMAKS) is a relational database devised for the storage of hard and soft data on the sedimentary architecture of ancient shallow-marine and paralic siliciclastic successions, and on the geomorphological organization of corresponding modern environments. The database allows incorporation of data from the published literature, which are uploaded to a common standard to ensure consistency in data definition. The database incorporates data on geological entities of varied nature and scale (i.e., surfaces, depositional tracts, architectural elements, sequence stratigraphic units, facies units, geomorphic elements), including attributes that characterize their type, geometry, spatial relations, hierarchical relations, and temporal significance. Furthermore, geological entities are assigned to depositional systems, or to parts thereof, that can be classified on multiple parameters (e.g., shelf width, delta catchment area) tied to metadata (e.g., data types, data sources).The SMAKS permits the quantitative characterization of modern and ancient shallow-marine and paralic clastic depositional systems. It aims to serves as a repository of analogue information for hydrocarbon-bearing successions, and as a research tool, applicable to aid the development of facies models or to assess the sensitivity of depositional systems to particular controlling factors, for example.To demonstrate the wide applicability of the database in fields of both fundamental and applied research, example database output is presented that (i) includes data from wave-, tide-, and fluvial-dominated shallow seas and sedimentary successions, and (ii) covers a wide depositional spectrum, from backshore to shelf-edge settings. The examples include information on the facies organization of different types of paralic sub-environments, on the hierarchical arrangement of architectural elements that form deltaic constructional units in Quaternary deltas, on the morphometry of modern and Quaternary tidal sand ridges, and on the geometry of parasequence-scale nearshore sandstone belts from the Upper Cretaceous of the Western Interior Seaway in Utah (USA).

Based on multi-beam echo soundings and highresolution single-channel seismic profiles, linear sand ridges in U14 and U2 on the East China Sea (ECS) shelf are identified and compared in detail. Linear sand ridges in U14 are buried sand ridges, which are 90 m below the seafloor. It is presumed that these buried sand ridges belong to the transgressive systems tract (TST) formed 320-200 ka ago and that their top interface is the maximal flooding surface (MFS). Linear sand ridges in U2 are regressive sand ridges. It is presumed that these buried sand ridges belong to the TST of the last glacial maximum (LGM) and that their top interface is the MFS of the LGM. Four sub-stage sand ridges of U2 are discerned from the high-resolution single-channel seismic profile and four strikes of regressive sand ridges are distinguished from the submarine topographic map based on the multi-beam echo soundings. These multi-stage and multi-strike linear sand ridges are the response of, and evidence for, the evolution of submarine topography with respect to sea-level fluctuations since the LGM. Although the difference in the age of formation between U14 and U2 is 200 ka and their sequences are 90 m apart, the general strikes of the sand ridges are similar. This indicates that the basic configuration of tidal waves on the ECS shelf has been stable for the last 200 ka. A basic evolutionary model of the strata of the ECS shelf is proposed, in which sea-level change is the controlling factor. During the sea-level change of about 100 ka, five to six strata are developed and the sand ridges develop in the TST. A similar story of the evolution of paleotopography on the ECS shelf has been repeated during the last 300 ka.
