 Oxygen and carbon stable isotope records (with an average time resolution of 228 a) were obtained from Core MD052904 (19°27.32’, 116°15.15’, water depth 2 066 m), using the mixed-layer dwelling planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides rubber (white). The 45 m core spans from end of MIS 8 to the Holocene, representing the sediment record of the last 257 a. Sedimentation rates increased to 65~70 cm/ka in LGM, indicating more sediments when the site location was closer to the river mouth during glacial at lower sea level.
