%X This anthology reflects the research achievements in the geology, geomorphology, petrography and lithofacies dynamics of continental shelf and continental slope in recent years. The characteristics of Contemporary Continental Shelf geology research are the comprehensiveness of methods, the extensive regionality of problem solving and the paleogeographic orientation of research. The last point is very important, because only through the analysis of paleogeography can it be possible to reconstruct the main stages of the Mesozoic Cenozoic geological history of the continental shelf.Geological mapping is of great significance in the research and development of the continental shelf. At the beginning of the collection, MI en aleksyev, Pu a Kaplin and m a spiridonov discussed how to most effectively carry out the methodological general principles of continental shelf geological mapping, which is undoubtedly of practical significance for the planning and deployment of the census and exploration of various minerals. It should be emphasized that paleogeography plays a decisive role in the geological mapping of the continental shelf, because it can distinguish the Paleoenvironment that best characterizes the development stages of the continental shelf.The study of the formation and deposition of modern landforms on the continental shelf in different natural zones of the world's oceans convincingly proves that there is a climate zonality in the performance of morphological genetic processes in the coastal continental shelf region. This zonal climate perspective is embodied in the anthology by selecting relevant materials from the humid tropical zone, temperate zone and polar zone. In this regard, the article written by A. S. yonin, M. g. ulkovic and Qing Feng is particularly noteworthy. This article integrates the materials on the continental shelf of Vietnam, where the transportation of huge amounts of clay materials from land plays a major role in the morphological genesis,
