It has been Sedimentary evolution formed via the accumulation of sediment discharged by four rivers in the Liaohe Plain that enter Liaodong Bay.

Our Liaohe Delta results revealed that the sedimentary environments have evolved from fluvial, tidal flat/estuarine, to neritic and finally to a deltaic environment since the Late Pleistocene. The Holocene transgression arrived at the present coastline at ∼8500 cal a BP and flooded the maximum area of land at ∼7000 cal a BP. A deltaic environment prevailed in this area after 7000 cal a BP. Bounded by the modern Liaohe River mouth, the present deltaic sedimentary system can be divided into the eastern and western components. The rate of seaward progradation of the eastern paleocoastline was estimated to be ∼8.6 m/a since 7000 cal a BP; the eastern cores in the present coastline began receiving the deltaic sediments at ∼5000 cal a BP. The rate of seaward progradation of the western paleocoastline was estimated to be only ∼2.8 m/a since 7000 cal a BP. The coastline on the western side began accumulating deltaic sediments about 2000 years later than the eastern coastline. Depocenter shifting was hypothesized to be the reason for the spatial differences in the sedimentary processes. However, the change of sediment fluxes of the western rivers due to climate changes and ancient human impacts might be the reason for the differences of the temporal evolution of the eastern and western sedimentary systems in the Liaohe Delta. 1. Introduction (Penland et al., 1985; Xue, 1993), and (3) the morphologies of deltaic coastal plains and coast processes(Tanabe et al., 2006; Tamura et al., During the last several decades, a number of studies have focused on 2012). The deltas noted above, however, are associated with a single the geological history of the mega deltas of the world, including the river. Nile Delta (Coutellier and Stanley, 1987; Stanley and Warne, 1993), A few studies have concerned major deltas formed by multiple Mississippi River Delta (Penland et al., 1985; Penland and Suter, 1989), rivers, such as the Ganges–Brahmaputra Delta (Goodbred and Kuehl, Yangtze River Delta (Li and Wang, 1998; Li et al., 2000a; Hori et al., 2000; Allison et al., 2003; Sarkar et al., 2009), Pearl River Delta (Li 2001, 2002), Yellow River Delta (Xue, 1993; Cheng and Xue, 1997; et al., 1991; Zong et al., 2009), Chao Phraya Delta (Tanabe et al., 2003), Saito et al., 2000) and Mekong River Delta (Nguyen et al., 2000; Ta and Rhine-Meuse Delta (Bos and Stouthamer, 2011). These studies have et al., 2002; Tamura et al., 2009).

River system characteristics The four rivers that discharge into the northern Liaodong Bay 53 L. He et al. Journal of Asian Earth Sciences 152 (2018) 52–68 include the Xiaoling River, Daling River, Liaohe River, and Daliao River (joined by the Hunhe River and Taizi River) from west to east, re- spectively (Fig. 1c). The runoff and sediments are mainly derived from the Liaohe River, Daliao River, and Daling River in the Liaohe Delta. Of these, the Daliao River is the largest contributor to runoff, whereas the Wang and He (1993) Wu et al. (2005) Wang and He (1993) Zhang et al. (1995) Daling River is the largest contributor to sediment discharge (Table 1). The Liaohe River and Daliao River have not been isolated throughout their history. According to historical records, the Liaohe River and Daliao River entered the sea through the same channel from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE to 24 A.D.) to 1861 CE (Pan, 2005). They partially separated after a crevasse formed in the right bank of the 1979 1993 1979 1987 – – – – Liaohe River in 1861.

Because of the increasing problems, man has begun to realize that he can no longer follow a "use and discard" philosophy ~ either with water resources or any other natural resources. Asa result, the need for a consistent policy of rational management of water resources has become evident. Rational water management, however, should be founded upon a thorough understanding of water availability and movement. Thus, as a contribution to the solution of the worlds water problems, Unesco, in 1965, began the first world-wide programme of studies of the hydrological cycle - the International Hydrological Decade (IHD).

This paper combines the data from the national groundwater monitoring stations and the groundwater depth data collected locally to statistics and analysis of groundwater overexploitation across the country. Especially in key plains, through the water level variation method. The research results are compared and verified with national authoritative data such as Groundwater Dynamics Monthly Report and predecessors' records in the literature, revealing the current key areas of groundwater overexploitation, and clarifying the importance and urgency of groundwater governance in the future. This study also put forward some suggestions of groundwater overexploitation. groundwater monitoring data recorded in the China 1 Introduction Geological Environment Monitoring Groundwater Yearbook (hereinafter referred to as the yearbook) in 2006 Groundwater resources play an indispensable role in and 2016[6].

Site maps of 25 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, published in the series ‘Atlas of Chinese Cultural Relics’, were used to extract, digitalise and correlate its archaeological data. The data were, in turn, entered into a database using a self-developed mapping software that makes the data, in a dynamic way, analysable as a contribution to various scientific questions, such as population growth and migrations, spread of agriculture and changes in subsistence strategies. The results clearly show asynchronous patterns of changes between the northern and southern parts of China (i.e. north and south of the Yangtze River, respectively) but also within these macro-regions. In the northern part of China (i.e. along the Yellow River and its tributaries and in the Xiliao River basin), the first noticeable increase in the concentration of Neolithic sites occurred between c. 5000 and 4000 BC; however, highest site concentrations were reached between c.

Introduction In the narrow sense, production only refers to human's agricultural production activities, while in the broad sense, it refers to the combination of activities formed by human's acquisition of survival materials, including gathering, fishing and hunting, agricultural planting and livestock raising. This paper takes the broad concept as the criterion. From the perspective of historical geography, the first thing to be clear is the evolution of prehistoric production in China. The evolution of the prehistoric industry in China is a comprehensive expression of chronology and regionalism, which profoundly reflects the spatiotemporal characteristics of the prehistoric industry and the phased expression of the human-earth relationship.

Groundwater depletion in this region is becoming a critical issue. Here, we used the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data and in situ well observations to estimate groundwater storage (GWS) variations and discussed the driving factors of GWS changes in the WLRB. GRACE detects a GWS decline rate of −0.92 ± 0.49 km3/yr in the WLRB during 2005–2011, consistent with the estimate from in situ observations (−0.96 ± 0.19 km3/yr). This long-term GWS depletion is attributed to reduced precipitation and extensive groundwater overexploitation in the 2000s. Long-term groundwater level observations and reconstructed total water storage variations since 1980 show favorable agreement with precipitation anomalies at interannual timescales, both of which are significantly influenced by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
