Up to now, there is no study on large-scale continental shelf system response to global sea level change.In this paper, seafloor sediments in the oft-com:office:smarttags" />East China Sea broad continental shelf have been researched in detail by mapping in the past five years.The results show that there is a good response relationship between distribution of modern sedimentary environment in the East China shelf and sea level change since LGM.The seafloor is covered by three sedimentary systems in modern East China shelf, which are ancient onshore zone at the phase of low sea level, transgressive system during the Last Deglaciation and eddy and offshore sedimentary system in the period of high sea level.
