Abstract

The TV1 boring site is a typical section at coastal part of the Mekong River Delta (MRD) and has 20.8m in thickness of the Holocene deltaic sediments. Holocene marine transgressive deposit is not found here. Holocene deltaic sediments unconformably covered late Pleistocene sediments and characterized by 20,8 m in thickness of the coarsening-upward succession including pro-delta, delta front, sub- to intertidal flat and beach ridge sediments. This typical section has been dated since 3 ky. BP. It is a typical tide- and wave- dominated delta succession of the MRD.
