  • The Bohai Sea (BS) is a semi-enclosed sea connected to the North Yellow Sea only via the Bohai Strait. Its stratigraphic evolution during the Late Quaternary has been complex and unresolved. Moreover, the timing of Late Quaternary transgression has been a matter of controversy. In order to study the stratigraphic sequence in the western BS during the Late Quaternary, high-resolution seismic reflection data in conjunction with depositional stratigraphy of typical cores were analyzed. The results indicate that high-resolution seismic profiles from the study area were subdivided into seven seismic units (U5, U4-2, U4-1, U3, U2, U1-2, U1-1 in ascending order), which were clearly correLated with the depositional units of core TJC-1.These units constitute three distinctive sequences (SQ3, SQ2, SQ1 from bottom to up) bounded by two sequence boundaries (R5, R3) with obvious depositional hiatus, correLated with sea-level lowstands of MIS4 and MIS2, respectively. SQ3 consists of the lower transgressive systems tract (TST) and highstand systems tract (HST) (U5, interactive deposits of littoral and neritic facies in MIS5), and the upper regressive systems tract (RST) (U4-2, littoral facies in early MIS4). SQ2 is composed of lowstand systems tract (LST) (U4-1, fluvial and lacustrine facies in middle-Late MIS4 correlating with the Huanghe River and Luanhe River) and TST (U3, littoral facies during the early-middle MIS3) from the bottom up. SQ1 comprises LST (U2, fluvial and lacustrine during Last Glacial Maximum correlating with Luanhe River), TST (U1-2, littoral facies during the early-middle Holocene) and HST (U1-1, neritic facies since the sea-level highstand of Holocene). Stratigraphy development in the study area during the Late Quaternary was governed mainly by sea-level changes, provenance, the Bohai Strait topography and the active faults.
