bathymetric data, we systematically evaluated the morphology, architecture, sedimentology,
and evolution of erosional mud ridges within the inner East China Sea (ECS) shelf. We
identified 20 mud ridges, ie, seismic reflection profile crossings of exposed or buried mud
ridges, which are 3.0–30.1 km in width and 2.5–17.3 m in height. The mud ridges are
composed predominantly of gray clayey silt, and on seismic profiles contain parallel to …
