GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Chinese research vessel "Xiang Yang Hong 01". Year of discovery: 2021. History: Named after Qin Yunshan (1933-2015), a Chinese marine geologist and one of the founders of marine sedimentology research and investigation techniques in China. He was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1995.He was the first to introduce and establish the sedimentation model of the Chinese continental shelf, pioneering the field of marine sedimentology research. In the 1960s, he applied a large amount of measured data to compile the first distribution map of sediment types on the Chinese continental shelf and established the sedimentation model. He was the first in China to carry out research on the transport and dispersion of fine-grained materials, breaking through the traditional concept and confirming the influence, range and intensity of materials entering the sea from rivers such as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. He proposed a "four-stage" model for the environmental evolution of Chinese continental shelf since the Late Pleistocene. He was the first to discover and study submarine loess and oceanic "loess-like" deposits, and promoted the study of eolian deposits in the ocean. |
