Abstract

The lithology and stratigraphy of Holocene fine-grained sediments were studied in buried paleovalleys on the coastal shelf of the East Korean Bay. The typical natural setting of recent nepheloid near-continental sedimentation in the near-mouth area is defined. It is established that the silting apron and transit-linear settings are untypical of recent sedimentation. Their formation was determined by paleoclimatic changes during the Holocene.
