Abstract
The discovery of useful brine resources in the embayed coastal zone of Qingdao is an important achievement in research on potential underground brine resources stored in Quaternary littoral facies in the North China coast. The Holocene transgression in this area provided the ancient seawater sources for forming brine. In spite of the unfavorable geological conditions (narrow littoral plain, shallow and thin Quaternary sedimentary strata) Qingdao's embayed coast has deposition basins with bay-in-bay and weir dam ideal for gathering brine. The geologic structure of the littoral Quaternary deposition basin and hydrologic condition (deficient runoff) comprise favorable environment for the formation and abundance of underground brine.
