Persistent effects of the Yellow River on the Chinese marginal seas began at least ~880 ka ago

Abstract The Yellow River (or Huanghe and also known as China’s Sorrow in ancient times), with the highest sediment load in the world, provides a key link between continental erosion and sediment accumulation in the western Pacific Ocean. However, the exact age of its influence on the marginal sea i...
