| 1992年5月–1993年10月期间，在南黄海及东海北部海域，利用大洋50型表层取样器、重力活塞取样器及底栖拖网等方法，对海底沉积物进行了深入的调查。通过对所获样品的粒度、矿物含量、生物组合及年代地层学等多学科综合性的分析研究表明，南黄海及东海北部陆架的沉积环境十分复杂。在南黄海高能侵蚀区海底广泛出露砂质沉积物，其分布范围与强潮夕及风暴潮的活动区相一致，在这些水动力的长期作用下，细粒物质逐渐被悬浮、搬运、减少，原有沉积物被粗化，形成粗粒的砂质沉积物，其实质是高能环境中海底侵蚀与改造作用的结果。与低能沉积区相反，形成了全新世海侵以来南黄海陆架的另一重要沉积模式。 |

| Abstract: |
| Around 300 bottom samples were collected from the southern Yellow Sea (SYS) and the northern East China Sea (ECS) in May, 1992 to Oct, 1993 using an Ocean-50 grab sampler, a piston core and a benthonic trawl. Analyses were conducted on the grain-size, mineral and biological assemblages and stratum chronology. The results using sediment grain-size parameters show that the depositional environment on the continental shelves of the SYS and the northern ECS were very complex. Sandy sediments and Tertiary sandstone and/ or gravels occurred extensively on the SYS shelf. It is found that the sandy sediment contain the Tertiary sporopollen and glaucanite, without marine facies dinoflagellates. These characteristics reveal that the sandy sediment has a close relationship with the Tertiary sandstone and/ or gravel containing glaucanite. The area of sandy sediment distribution is associated with strong tidal currents and storm. Under the influence of these hydrodynamical elements fine sediments should be suspended and removed from the area gradual, coarsening of original sediment occurs. The findings were as follows: l) the sandy sediment were formed in response to erosion and reworking of previous sediments in high energy environments; 2) the presence of the Tertiary sporopollen and glaucanite suggests that the sandy sediment is related to the Tertiary sandstone and gravel; the sandy sediments are derived from the weathering of the old deposit; 3) the sandy sediment containing late Pleistocene shell and antler reveals this deposit was formed before the Holocene transgression. Therefore, the sandy sediment is an important part of the strata, with significance in the study on sediment dynamics in the southern Yellow Sea shelf. |
