“…Previously published offshore and mid-shelf seismic and core data were also evaluated to reconstruct the transgressive depositional history. For mid-and innershelf data, the reader is referred to Lee and Yoon (1997), Jin and Chough (1998) and Jin et al (2002).…”

“…4a). According to core data from the mid-shelf and nearshore, this unit is comprised of semi-consolidated homogeneous yellowish-brown (10YR 6/8) clayey silt with rare sandy laminae and is rich in fossilized plant roots (KORDI, 1994;Kim et al, 1999;Chang and Choi, 2001;Jin et al, 2002). Marine fossils are absent.…”

“…55 m. During the last glacial maximum, the entire area was exposed and was then flooded during the post-glacial transgression (Lee and Yoon, 1997;Jin et al, 2002). As the shelf was inundated, changing bathymetry and coastal configuration gave rise to changes in depositional regime, resulting in the modern shelf that contains a variety of depositional units, including muddy submarine deltas, sand ridges, and a transgressive sand sheet (Lee and Marine Geology 235 (2006) 35 -48 www.elsevier.com/locate/margeo Yoon, 1997;Jin and Chough, 1998).…”

“…Studies from different geological settings around the world provide examples of sedimentary architecture of Plio-Quaternary continental shelf systems related to the interplay among several factors such as the amplitude and frequency of glacioeustatic oscillations, variable rates of sediment supply and prevailing tectonic regime (e. g. FOYLE; OERTEL, 1997;CORREGGIARI, 2000TESSON et al, 2000HERNANDEZ-MOLINA et al, 2000;RIDENTE;TRINCARDI, 2002;JIN et al, 2002;LOFI et al, 2003;RABINEAU et al, 2005;GROSSMAN et al, 2006;TEZCAN;OKYAR, 2006;LIQUETE et al, 2008;TRIPSANAS;PIPER, 2008). During the Plio-Quaternary, high-frequency and highamplitude sea-level oscillations stand as one of the major elements inducing base level variations that control the morphological and stratigraphic evolution of prograding continental shelves.…”

A B S T R A C TSeismic analysis of sparker lines of GEOMAR cruises allowed us to address a first stratigraphic scenario for the shallow sedimentary record (~300 msec) of the continental shelf off Rio de Janeiro State, northern Santos basin. Two sets of seismic sequences were identified and interpreted as a succession of depositional sequences induced by repeated glacioeustatic cycles. Depositional sequences composing Set I (SqA-SqC) are dominantly sigmoidal, reflecting periods of increasing accommodation space that favoured the preservation of both aggradational and progradational units; sequences of Set II (Sq1-Sq5) are essentially seaward-thickening stacks of forced-regression wedges, implying periods of declining accommodation space. Comparison between seismic lines and chronostratigraphic data allowed the mapped sequences to be placed within the Plio-Quaternary. Correlations also suggest that most of Set I (SqA and lower portion of SqB) was deposited during the Pliocene (undifferentiated Pliocene), while the upper portion of sequence SqC and sequences of Set II (Sq1-Sq5) have been placed within the Quaternary. Correlation of chronostratigraphic data with δ 18 O isotopic "sea level curves" also supports the hypothesis that sequences Sq1-Sq4 are fourth-order forced-regression sequences that record 100-120 kyr glacioeustatic cycles for the last 440-500 kyr, while sedimentary units labeled Sq5 would represent the transgressive and highstand deposition during the Holocene. R E S U M OA análise sísmica de dados sparker das Operações GEOMAR permitiu a elaboração de um primeiro arcabouço estratigráfico da seção rasa (~300 msec) da plataforma continental do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, norte da bacia de Santos. Dois conjuntos de seqüências sísmicas foram interpretados como seqüências deposicionais induzidas por oscilações glacio-eustáticas. O Conjunto I (SqA-SqC), composto por seqüências dominantemente sigmoidais, reflete condições de geração de espaço de acomodação sedimentar capaz de preservar seus componentes agradacionais-progradacionais; o Conjunto II (Sq1-Sq5), composto principalmente por prismas de regressão forçada, indica diminuição relativa de espaço de acomodação. Dados cronoestratigráficos de poços permitiram posicionar a seção sísmica investigada na janela plio-quaternária: à maior parte do Conjunto I (SqA e parte inferior da SqB) foi atribuída uma idade Plioceno (indiferenciado); à seção estratigráfica que se estende da porção superior da SqC até o Conjunto II foi atribuída uma idade quaternária. A correlação entre a base de dados e curvas globais de variações isotópicas de δ 18 O permitiu ainda sugerir que as seqüências Sq1-Sq4 registram sequências regressivas de quarta ordem (ciclos glacio-eustáticos de cerca de 100-120 ka) durante os últimos 440-500 ka. A sequência Sq5 representaria a deposição holocênica, constituída por depósitos transgressivos e de sistemas de mar alto.
