Abstract
GDGT proxies were used to analyze sediment provenance and mean annual temperature in the Shaleitian salient in the Bohai Sea. The results showed that the provenance of sediment in Shaleitian salient was partly terrigenous and partly from the ocean itself. In addition, the terrestrial inputs were mainly from the Huanghe River, and the marine organic matter was mainly from phytoplankton. The mean sea surface temperature gradually increased from the far coast to the near coast, and the mean annual air temperature showed a similar trend to SST. Our study suggests that the GDGT proxies can be used for understanding the provenance of sediment in semi-enclosed seas.
