Contrasting sediment source-to-sink processes in East Asia:large rivers versus small mountainous rivers
East Asia is featured by active tectonics and monsoon climatic change during the Cenozoic,which thus fostered two major types of terrigenous sediment routing systems:one being represented by mega-rivers in Eurasian continent,e.g.the Changjiang(Yangtze) River,and the other by small mountainous rivers in Taiwan Island,e.g.the Choshui River.Both river systems exert significant impacts on the surface landscape evolution,land-sea interaction and material cycling in East Asia continental margin.Here,we attempt to investigate and compare the sediment source-to-sink processes in these two river systems by multiple sedimentological and geochemical approaches,and particularly the weathering mechanisms and environmental signal propagation in these two sediment routing systems across timescales will be discussed.
