Abstract

Molluscan shells were sampled from the continental shelf of South Sea: 19 stations in the southeast continental shelf and 5 in the southwest sea, in order to understand characteristics of sea level changes and time-averaging since the last glacial age. Radiocarbon dates were made on 42 dominant and specific species which were sampled from 24 stations. Time-averaging was observed and showed to be 11,939 years in age difference. The sea-level ranged from 150 to 160 m below sea level during the LGM (about 15,000 yrs B.P). The sea-level significantly rose to 60 m at around 9,000 yrs B.P. and became stable at 50 to 60 m between periods between 4,000 and 5,000 yrs B.P. Between 3,000 and 4,000 yrs B.P, the sea-level rapidly rose to a depth of $10\~20m$ below today’s present sea level.

한국 남해해역의 최종빙하기 이후 해수면변화 및 시간평균화 현상을 파악하기 위하여 남동대륙붕 19개 정점, 서남해역 5개 정점에서 산출하는 패류유해 중 우점종 및 특징종 42개체에 대해 $^{14}C$연대측정을 행하였다. 측정결과 동일 정점 내에서 시간평균화(Time-averaging) 현상이 나타나며 최대 11,939년까지 연대차이가 있었다. 그리고 최종빙하기 이후 남해해역에서의 해수면은 약 15,000년 전 최종빙하기시 해수면이 현재 해수면보다 약 $150\~160 m$ 하강하였으며, 이후 약 9,000년까지 해수면이 약 60m로 급격히 상승하였다. 그리고 이후 약 $4,000\~5,000$년까지 수심 약 $50\~60 m$에서 안정적이었으며, $3,000\~4,000$년 사이 또 한번의 급한 해수면 상승으로 수심이 현재 해수면보다$10\~20 m$ 낮아졌으며, 이후 현재에 이르는 것으로 생각된다.
