Buried paleo-channel system and records of sea level changes on the continental shelf in Yingge Sea Basin

High resolution geophysical instruments were used to locate many buried paleo-channels, paleo-lakes, and river mouth paleo-deltas formed during low sea level at the end of Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. Some paleo-rivers flowed southward into the paleo-lake and others southeastward into the Paleo-South China Sea. It may be inferred from data on buried paleo-channels that sea level remained for some time at the −50m (longest time here), −100m, and −130 to −140 m (lowest level) water depths, and that corresponding paleo-coastlines were formed at the respective depths.
