TRANSGRESSIONS AND REGRESSIONS IN THE EASTERN CHINA SINCE THE LATE PLEISTOCENE EPOCH

The littoral plain in the eastern China and its neighbouring shallow-sea continental shelf area is the zone where the coastlines moved back and forth during the Quaternary Period.In order to get detailed information about the changes of its limits and its repeating processes, it is necessary to compare with sea level change models of the worldwide typical areas according to the paleo-littoral-line sediments and the residual geomorphological topography, as well as on the basis of sedimental sequence and chronology.Through study we have got information on glacial sea level changes and the effect of sea level changes on the eastern China.
