The sedimentation processes, sedimentary environment and paleoclimate variations since 12937 a B. P. have been discussed, based on grain size, mineral composition and micropaleontological data, etc.. The climate variation occurred at 10 ha, which expressed that there were increased inputs of terrigenous clastics. The climate change once again but temporarily took place at late Holocene.展开更多

Based on the above data,together with the shipboard investigation, the 753 cm long core sediments reveal the last 112.5 ha deposits of the study area under the glacial-marine environment. The sediments includes biogenic silica deposit,volcanic debris deposit and turbidity current deposit.Among them,the biogenic silica deposit is dominative not only in the highstand water/interglacial stage, but also in the lowstand water/glacial stage.The difference of sedimentation between the two stages was that the terrigenous debris content and the sedimentation rate were lower in the lowstand water/glacial stage.展开更多
