Sea Levels of the Last Glacial in the East China Sea Continental Shelf

東シナ海における最終氷期の海水準を明らかにするため,今までに報告されている350を超える放射性炭素年代値と最近の音波探査などの報告を検討した.この結果,50,000～25,000yrs BPについては,黄海や東シナ海において三角州の発達が認められ,当時の海水準は黄海で-80±10m,東シナ海で-90±10mと推定された.また最終氷期最盛期については,海成層と陸成層の分布深度や海底地形などから,最低位海水準は-120±10mと推定された.これらの値は従来報告されている値よりも浅い.
