Research topics from publications: The age of Yellow River water in the Bohai Sea. Representative work: To quantitatively understand the transport timescales of dissolved material discharged from large rivers into a semienclosed sea, the age of Yellow River water in the Bohai Sea was calculated with the constituent‐oriented age and residence time theory (CART) and particle‐tracking method. Yellow River water has a mean age of 3.0 years for the entire Bohai Sea. The spatial variation of the water age is significant: 1.2 years near the Yellow River estuary but 3.9 years in the Liaodong Bay. However, the temporal variation in water age is insignificant. The water particles released at the river mouth need only several days to reach the estuary area. The great water age (1.2 years) near the Yellow
