The Taiwan Strait, a dynamic shallow-marine environment influenced by strong ocean currents, provides an ideal natural laboratory to investigate the processes and products of ocean-current dominated straits. This study aims to elucidate the complex interplay between hydrodynamic forcing (tides, waves and large-scale ocean circulation), sediment supply, and sea-level changes that shape the evolution of muddy depositional systems in the Strait. By integrating high-resolution seismic data, sediment cores, and hydrodynamic analysis, this study will provide new insights into the formation and evolution of muddy depositional systems in shallow-water straits. Taiwan Strait serves as a starting point for developing a facies model for ocean-current-dominated straits.
