Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The source-to-sink (S2S) system is one of the most important sedimentary routes, which extends from the mountain, across the continental margins, and to the deep sea. In the S2S system, tremendous sediments have been eroded, transported and deposited in the sedimentary basin. These are regarded as ideal documents for better understanding the global-regional environmental and climatological changes.
We welcome you to submit a paper to this Special Issue “From Source to Sink: Sedimentary Archives and Its Palaeo-Environmental Implications During Quaternary”. This Special Issue seeks to investigate all aspects of the Quaternary clastic sedimentary process and the environmental significance in the source-to-sink systems in different regions and timescales. Studies in the coastal and deep-sea areas are especially welcome.
Dr. Yan Li
Guest Editor
