Abstract
Since the suggestions on the paleo-glacial landforms in and around the northern high mountains of Korean Peninsula by some western and Japanese scientists in the early 1900s, the likelihood of the glacier existence in the Baekdusan over the Quaternary glacial period has been had in common among most of the Korean geomorphologists. In the other meaning, some have cast doubt on the likelihood the paleo-glacier in the Baekdusan because there has been no unequivocal evidences for the glacier such as striation, moraines, except morphologic characteristic landforms possibly related to glacier. Here we show some evidences for the existence of the glacier in the Baekdusan and their cosmogenic
백두산의 현재 지형은 반복적인 화산활동과 함께 신생대 제4기 기후변화로 추동된 빙하 활동의 결과물이다. 그러나 여전히 백두산 빙하지형의 존재에 대한 의문들은 해소되지 못해왔다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 야외조사를 통하여, 빙하지형에 관련된 지형들을 제시하고, 이의 연대측정을 실시하였으며, 제4기 화산 활동과의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 가속기 질량 분석기를 이용하여 빙하의 후퇴 이후 지표면에 노출되었을 백두산 천지 서사면의 빙하 기반암 지형 면에 대하여, 우주선 유발 동위원소
