Grain size of Quaternary sediments in the continental shelf-margin: implications for paleo-environment in the Northwestern South China Sea

IntroductionThe quantitative distribution of grain size of sediments could imply the hydrodynamic conditions as well as terrestrial material composition; and thus, it is indicative of sea-level fluctuations, regional sources and climate changes. The environmentally sensitive components extracted fro...
