“…(1999). The same strata have been alternatively attributed to the Mio‐Pliocene (Xiao et al., 2021), though this alternative correlation provides unrealistic changes of depositional rates and is incompatible with thermoluminescence dating of the uppermost part of the section (S. B. Wang et al., 1999). It should be noted that our sampling site belongs to the same geological unit as S. B. Wang et al.…”

“…The Yellow River is one of the largest rivers in the world (Qin et al, 1990), and has attracted significant scientific interest due to its ecological and economic importance. Numerous studies have investigated the evolution of the Yellow River (e.g., Clark et al, 2004; Liu and Sun, 2007; Kong et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2019; Xiao et al, 2020, 2021). Nevertheless, the precise age of the final emergence of the Yellow River to the ocean, and its effect on the marginal sea are unclear.…”

Increased discharge of Yellow River sediments into the western Bohai Sea since 0.71 Ma

The Yellow River originates on the Tibetan Plateau and transports vast amounts of terrestrial sediment to the ocean. However, previous studies have not reached a consensus as to when and how the Yellow River first began to flow into the sea. Here we present Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data and a high-resolution clay mineral record of a 200-m-long sediment core recovered from the modern Yellow River delta. The changes in Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions and clay minerals at 0.71 Ma suggest that a larger proportion of sediment was derived from the Yellow River after this time. We propose that the Yellow River has influenced the Bohai Sea since 1.9 Ma (or even earlier), which provides important evidence for an older Yellow River than 1.2 Ma. A significant increase in discharge of Yellow River sediments since 0.71 Ma is due to continuing subsidence of the eastern China coast, the large amplitude of Quaternary sea-level changes, and increased supply of eroded loess during the last 1.0 Ma. After this time, the contribution of local rivers surrounding the Bohai Sea became negligible due to dilution by the huge amounts of Yellow River sediments. These results provide improved constraints on the evolution of the Yellow River and subsequent land-sea fluxes.
