Key Laboratory of Marginal Sea Geology, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510301, China; 2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100049, China Abstract: A total of 224 surface sediment samples collected from the northern South China Sea were studied in terms of grain size and carbonate content, to understand the sediment transport patterns and the corresponding depositional environments in the region. Results revealed that sediments in the study area could be divided into the following types: gravelly sand, coarse sand, medium sand, fine sand, silty sand, sandy silt, sand-silt-clay, clayey silt, silty clay, and clay. The abyssal-bathyal sediments could be divided into eight types, namely, siliceous clay, calcareous clay, calcareous and siliceous clay, foraminifer ooze, calcareous clayey silt, calcareous sand-silt-clay, and siliceous clayey silt. Among them, the silty clay, clayey silt, sand, sandy silt, and clay are the major types, accounting for more than 80% of the area total. Factor analysis of grain size parameters and carbonate content was used to discriminate different depositional environments. Results showed that the above parameters may be divided into three types and the study area could then be divided into four subareas. The factor 1 acts on subareas Ⅰand Ⅱ. Clayey sediments are distributed in subarea Ⅰ, which is mainly located in the
