Modern (<100 years) sedimentation in the Taiwan Strait: Rates and source-to-sink pathways elucidated from radionuclides and particle size distribution

Source-to-sink transport processes of fluvial sediments in the South China Sea

“…et al, 2010), and 836 samples are presented here for the first time. These new seafloor samples are located mainly in the Taiwan Strait (266 samples, Huh et al, 2011), the Gulf of Tonkin (62 samples, Wiesner et al, 2012), the Gulf of Thailand (202 samples), and the southwestern SCS (~160 samples, Stattegger et al, 1997;Wiesner et al, 1999; (Fig. 4).…”

Major sources of MeO/OH-BDEs in the East China Sea elucidated from their records and phytoplankton biomarkers

“…More details on the g-spectrometry method, including the standard materials used to calibrate the detectors and QA/QC of the data, can be found elsewhere (Huh et al, 2011).…”

Assessment of the impacts of trace metals on benthic foraminifera in surface sediments from the northwestern Taiwan Strait

“…Sediments in the Taiwan Strait are mainly delivered from western Taiwan and southeast China by rivers that flow into the strait. Sediment properties (e.g., mineralogical analysis, magnetic properties, and radionuclides) have been used as traces to the sources, pathways and accumulation rates of sediments in the Taiwan Strait, establishing sediment source-to-sink dispersal systems that are closely related to hydrodynamics in this strait (Xu et al, 2009;Horng and Huh, 2011;Huh et al, 2011). The Taiwan Strait is primarily influenced by two different hydrodynamic systems: the China Coast Current (CCC) and Taiwan Warm Current (TWC) (Fig.…”
