Abstract: Through testing the geochemical elements S, Sr and Ba in the strata from the Late Pliocene to Quaternary in the Core CSDP-1 in the west shelf of South Yellow Sea, combined with the published lithological, magnetic stratigraphic and paleontological data, the authors found that the distribution and variation characteristics of these elements S, Sr, Ba and their ratio Sr/Ba in different sedimentary facies are closely related to the sedimentary environment changes in the study area, which reflects the pro-marine feature of S and Sr/Ba ratio. The high value of S element mainly occurs in marine sedimentary environment, corresponding to the transgressions since 3.50 Ma in this area, which indicates the sea and land environment of the core site. The high value of Sr/Ba ratio in U2 sedimentary unit (1.66-0.83 Ma) is not related to transgression, but is mainly controlled by the change of material source, which leads to the changes of the sedimentary mineral composition; while in the U1 sedimentary units (since 0.83 Ma),the Sr/Ba ratio indicates the change of the sea-land environment, showing that transgression has become the main control factor of the Sr/Ba ratio since 0.83 Ma.

Key words: geochemical elements, transgression, South Yellow Sea, Quaternary
