Holocene Coastal Evolution, Sea-Level Fluctuations, Terrigenous Sedimentation and Sediment Dynamics on the Continental Shelf between the Mekong Delta and Nha Trang, SE-Vietnam

在德国-越南联合项目中的海岸和海洋地质领域的调查旨在重建全新世期间越南东南部迄今为止鲜为人知的海岸演变。主要任务是：㈠记录和分析主要沉积体和沉积面，以揭示㈡沉积模式和地层结构; ㈢沿海和大陆架区的主要水动力和沉积动力过程; ㈣评价和平衡陆源沉积物输入; ㈤调查短期和长期海平面波动和海岸线迁移的幅度和影响。结果预计将提供主要的地质历史和演化的东南部-Vienamese海岸带在过去的10000年。此外，这些成果应有助于在可持续发展方面制定沿海区综合管理的规划战略。应提及沿海区潜在使用者之间的利益竞争，例如旅游业、渔业、矿产资源开发。

Investigations in the field of coastal and marine geology within the joint German-Vietnamese project aim at the spatial-temporal reconstruction of the hitherto only sparsely known coastal evolution in SE-Vietnam during the Holocene period. Main tasks are (i) recording and analysing major sediment-bodies and sediment surfaces to reveal (ii) depositional patterns and stratigraphic architecture; and (iii) the principal hydrodynamic and sediment-dynamic processes in the coastal and shelf zone; (iv) evaluating and balancing the terrigenous sediment input; and (v) investigating the magnitude and influence of short and longer term sea-level fluctuations and coastline migration. The results are expected to provide principal knowledge of the geologic history and evolution of the SE-Vienamese coastal zone over the last 10000 years. In addition, these results should support planning strategies for integrated coastal zone management with respect to sustainable development. Reference should be given to competing interests between potential users of the coastal zone e.g. tourism, fisheries, exploitation of mineral resources.
