摘要

Abstract

The waters offshore the Shandong Peninsula separate the North Yellow Sea from the South Yellow Sea

and receive a large amount of terrestrial material from Chinese and Korean rivers

making it an ideal area for studying land-sea interactions. However

little attention has been given to measuring sediment transportation in most previous studies. Based on an analysis in composition of major and trace elements and particle size characteristics from 62 surface sediment samples from the northeastern region off Shandong Peninsula

the type

element composition

and controlling factors of the surface sediments were investigated. In addition

the transportation of sediments from source to sink was described from measured thermohaline data. The results show two types of surface sediments: sandy silt and silt. The sediments were mainly terrestrial; and marine carbonate had little effect on sediment composition. Shown on a binary diagram of Rb/Sc to Co/Sc

the Huanghe (Yellow) and Changjiang (Yangtze) rivers are the main sources of surface sediments in the study area. The component mixing model showed that the relative contribution of sediment from the Huanghe River was up to 92%

followed by the Changjiang River (8%). The Yellow Sea Warm Current and the North Shandong Peninsula Coastal Current met at ~37.7°N in the study area

and were the main forces carrying sediment from the two main river sources. However

there was a deficit of transported material into the study area in summer. The secondary distribution of sediment from the two river sources was controlled by tidal currents and waves.
