Abstract

On top of several peaks of Seoraksan National Park. many extensive blockfields are found. After initial report was made in year 2000, further field work and analysis of satellite image have been made. Blockfields on top of mountain peaks exhibit evidence of chemical weathering including gnammas and grooves. Also, several lichen colonies larger than 80 cm in diameter have been found on the surface of many blocks. High resolution IKONOS image has been used to delineate the boundary of blockfields which are hard to access during the field trip. Blockfields of Mt. Seoraksan lack fine material necessary for age dating and clay mineral analysis because they experienced long period of wash and erosion during the Holocene. The ages of blockfields seem to be pre-Holocene on the basis of size of lichen colony and weathering pits.

설악산 아고산대 지역에 분포하는 암괴원은 2000년에 보고 된 후. 아직 그 규모에 비해 많은 논의가 이루어지지 못하였다. 고산지형학과 주빙하 지형학 분야에서의 새로운 논의들을 소개하고 현지답사를 통해 확인한 새로운 논의점들을 소개하고자 한다. 항공사진에서 확인하기 어려운 분포지역과 관련된 정보는 IKONOS 위성영상을 통해 일부지역에서 확인할 수 있으며. 분포범위를 확정할 수 있었다. 현지조사의 결과 지의류의 성장이 암괴의 화학적 풍화를 유발하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었고, 심층풍화와 관련된 절리구조가 아직도 중요한 것으로 파악된다. 외국의 대부분의 산정형 암해와는 달리 미립물질이 대부분 세탈되어 버리고 암괴만 남아. 화학적 풍화의 산물인 점토광물 등을 확인하기 어렵다는 점과 지의류의 성장속도와 풍화혈의 발달정도로 보아, 홀로세이전에 형성된 암괴원이 현재 기후하에서 생물학적 풍화를 받아 변형되는 것이라고 판단된다.
