Stratigraphic and chronological characteristics of Shidao Island within the Xisha Islands, South China Sea, and its response to sea‐level changes since the Late Pleistocene
Abstract:Sedimentological and chronological analyses of coastal dunes can determine their sedimentation processes and yield information that can reflect changes in local marine environments (e.g., information on climate, biology, and sea-level changes in tectonically stable areas). In this study, Late Quaternary deposits on Shidao Island, one of the Xisha Islands, South China Sea, were analysed using techniques such as U/Th dating to obtain the following results: (1) Four lithofacies associations and two unconformities… Show more
