“…Sandy silt in Unit 1 and 2 corresponding to a transparent sonic character at 65 m below sea level might represent a transgressive systems tract (TST) formed before sea level reached its highstand. The AMS 14 C age of 10325 BP of Unit 1 suggests this unit was deposited under a water depth of 27 m, considering the sea level during this period (Liu, et al, 2004), which made this unit more sandy than Unit 2. The fining-upward succession from Unit 1 to 2 could be interpreted as a transition from the nearshore shelf with tidal influence to the nearshore subtidal environment in response to the postglacial sea-level rise.…”

“…The sediment sequence in the Yangtze estuary and mud belt areas (Christie Blick and Driscoll, 1995;Chen et al, 2003, Liu and Milliman, 2004 after the MWP-1B transgression at 11500 BP, as the rate of relative sea-level rise increased, and distal parts of the shelf became sediment starved because the depocenter of sedimentation moved landward (Liu, 2004;Liu et al, 2007). Historically, the Yangtze-derived sediment began to be transported southward after the middle Holocene sea-level highstand, before 7000 BP as estimated from the 14 C dating of the bottom of HST (Li et al, 1986;Liu et al, 2007).…”

The response of the monsoon climate on the inner shelf of the East China Sea (ECS) to abrupt climate changes events within the monsoonal Yangtze River drainage is contentious. Repositioning of the monsoon front is thought to have been responsible for the changes in hydroclimate over the Yangtze River drainage, which has exerted great impact on the sedimentation of the inner shelf of the ECS during the Holocene. Here, we present high-resolution analyses of grain size and provenance of the sediments from core MD06-3040 recovered from the inner shelf of the ECS during MD155-Marco Polo II-IMAGES XIV cruise. Significant variability occurred in the core MD06-3040 with notable decrease in East Asian Summer Monsoon precipitation (presumably drought events) at 6000 BP, 5300 BP, 4500 BP, 3700-3300 BP, 2200 BP, 1400-1300 BP, and 800-600 BP, which coincide with the 18 O w record in the northern ECS and stalagmite 18 O sp records from southern China. Similar patterns of these temporal variations suggest that the Yangtze River discharge associated with EASM precipitation has been a dominant control on the sedimentation on the inner shelf of ECS.

To understand the transport pathways of muddy sediment of the Kunsan basin in Yellow Sea, grain sizes and clay mineral of 32 surface sediments and a sediment core were analyzed. In the study area, illite is predominant (63.4~71.9%), followed by chlorite (15.1~20.2%), kaolinite (10.3~17.2%) and smectite (2~6.9%), According to the spatial distribution of the clay minerals, illite, kaolinite+chlorite and smectite show relatively higher contents in the center of the north, northeast, and the south of the study area, respectively. Considering the spatial distribution of clay mineral contents the sand ridge alignments and tidal current pathways, the smectite particles were probably derived from the south of the study area, but kaolinite and/or chlorite particles were mainly transported from the Korean coastal zone. Meanwhile, down-core variation in the contents of clay minerals of the core revealed a distinct change in fine-grained muddy sediment provenance: muddy sediment input from the Korean coastal areas has increased while the input from China has decreased since the last 5,000 year ago, by showing the amount decrease of smectite and the increase of kaolinite+chlorite at the top layer of the late Holocene muddy sediment unit of the core.

ITCZ and ENSO pacing on East Asian winter monsoon variation during the Holocene: Sedimentological evidence from the Okinawa Trough

Deep-sea fan sediments provide an excellent geological archive for paleoenvironment reconstruction. Grain size, clay mineral and elemental (Ti, Fe, Ca) compositions were measured for a core retrieved from a submarine fan in the Okinawa Trough. Varimax-rotated Principal Component Analysis (V-PCA) on time-evolution of grain size spectrum reveals that, since the Holocene, sediment was transported mainly by the benthic nepheloid layer (33%) and upper layers (33%) which is driven by the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM). The intensification of the Kuroshio Current during the Holocene, masks the fluvial signal of the summer monsoon and obstructs clay minerals derived from the Yellow River, a major contributor prior to 12 ka BP. A new grain size index (GSI), which represents the EAWM well, exhibits a negative correlation with the d 18 O record in Dongge Cave, China during the Holocene when sea level was relatively steady. This anticorrelation suggests the southward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The consistency among our records and rainfall records in Peru, Ti counts in the Cariaco Basin, monsoon records in Oman and the averaged summer insolation pattern at 30 N further support the ITCZ's impact on monsoon systems globally. Cross-Correlation Analyses for GSI and log(Ti/Ca) against d 18 O record in Dongge Cave reveal a decoupling between the East Asian winter and summer monsoon during 5500-2500 cal yr BP, with greater complexity in the last 2500 years. This can be attributed to exacerbated ENSO mode fluctuations and possibly anthropogenic interference superimposed on insolation and ITCZ forcing.
