Magnetic susceptibility variations and provenance of surface sediments in the South China Sea

Influence of the Kuroshio current intrusion on depositional environment in the Northern South China Sea: Evidence from surface sediment records

“…Liu et al, 2010). Magnetic susceptibility also confirmed the impact of the Kuroshio intrusion on sediment transport west of Luzon Island (Liu et al, 2010b). However there is a lack of direct evidence in the form of planktonic foraminiferal data (Lin and Hsieh, 2007) and geochemical elemental evidence for truly tracing sediment sources (Shao et al, 2001(Shao et al, , 2009).…”

“…Liu et al, 2008Liu et al, , 2010. After entering the sea, sediments from these sources are normally distributed in the corresponding sea areas of the northern SCS (Liu et al, 2010b). During the processes of transportation and deposition, these sediments are probably affected by the Kuroshio Current intrusion based on evidence from copepod (Hwang et al, 2007), diatom (Jiang et al, 2004(Jiang et al, , 2006, clay mineral assemblages (Z.…”

Liu et al, 2008Liu et al, , 2010, and magnetic susceptibility distribution (Liu et al, 2010b) of surface sediments in the northern SCS. Whilst there are many articles dealing with paleoceanographic environment based on cores from the northern SCS, there are few that have undertaken extensive surface sediment analysis.…”

Sensitivity of Sediment Magnetic Records to Climate Change during Holocene for the Northern South China Sea

“…Weathering materials around the study area can be transported by runoff to deposit in the sampling station. Meanwhile, eolian dusts as well as fly ash can be transported by wind to the waters (Liu et al, 2007(Liu et al, , 2008(Liu et al, , 2010Wei et al, 2012). Therefore, the PSD and SP detrital magnetite should be from river input and north Asian eolian particles.…”

Magnetic properties of sediments from major rivers, aeolian dust, loess soil and desert in China

“…But detailed comparative study on environmental magnetism of the sediments from river, loess-paleosol and aeolian dust, however, has seldom been carried out yet. Furthermore, whether magnetic proxy can be established to identify the sediment origins in marine environments remain enigmatic (Liu et al, 2010a;Wang et al, 2010;Zheng et al, 2010;Horng and Huh, 2011).…”
