The correlation between the amount of organic carbon (OC) and sulfur (S) in sediments has been widely used as a paleosalinity indicator to distinguish between marine and freshwater environments. However, whether the ratio of total OC to total S (TOC/TS) can be used to identify unsteady or dynamic marine environments across sedimentary strata is still contended. An HZW1907 sediment core of 80 m in length was successfully collec...

The bay area is a crucial land–sea junction zone containing essential urban clusters while receiving extremely complex internal and external disturbances that challenge more on its resilience management. However, a sound management tool based on the bay area’s resilience is widely lacking due to the difficulty of unifying resilience indicators and quantifying resilience relationships between regions. This paper tries to establ...
