The paleoseismological importance of the Yangsan fault zone was examined by historical earthquake data, aerial photograph, and trench survey of the area. Occurrences of great earthquakes during the historical time indicate that the Yangsan and/or Ulsan fault have been active during the late Quaternary and generated historical events. Geomorphological evidences of the recent fault activity are clearly shown both in the northern segment (Yugye-ri, Tosung-ri and Naengsu-ri areas) and in the southern segment (Eonyang to Tongdosa areas) of the Yangsan fault. The main Yangsan fault is characterized by fault gouges and NNE-SSW lineaments. The reverse faulting in the Yugye-ri area generated about three-mater displacement of the lower terrace deposits. On the other hand, a major strike-slip movement with a minor component of 5-12 m vertical displacement was identified by the offset of the higher terrace surface in the Eonyang area.

This review gives an information on the oxygen isotopic composition of car-bonate and utility of paleotemperature equations to reconstruct the paleoenvironment in the late Quaternary paleoclimatic studies. The introduc-tion of various paleotemperature equations is described with respect to the de-velopment and usefulness. In addition the calculation of paleotemperature in the paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic research is constrained to provide more precise and correct approach in the interpretation of paleotemperature.

한국 남동해역 대륙붕에서 취득된 고해상 탄성파 탐사자료와 퇴적물 시료의 분석에 의하면 후 제4기 퇴적층은 마지막 빙하기 이후의 해수면 변화에 의해 조절되는 저해수면계열, 해침계열, 고해수면계열로 구성된다. 시퀀스 경계면 위의 저해수면계열(층서단위 I)은 마지막 빙하기 동안 퇴적된 니질사 혹은 사질니 퇴적물로 구성되며 대륙붕단과 해곡의 외해역에 분포한다. 해침면과 최대 해침면 사이에 위치하는 해침계열(층서단위 II)은 지난 15,000-6,000년 사이에 퇴적되었으며 주로 사질퇴적물로 구성된다. 해침계열은 연구해역 전반에 걸쳐 넓게 분포하지만 저해수면계열과 고해수면계열에 비해 박층으로 분포한다. 이러한 해침계열은 분포특성에 따라 3개의 소퇴적단위로 세분된다. 즉, 대륙붕단의 초기해침계열(Unit IIa), 중간대륙붕의 중기해침계열(Unit IIb), 내대륙붕의 후기해침계열(Unit IIc)등으로 이들은 후배열층서의 특성을 가진다. 최대해침면 상부에 놓이는 고해수면계열(층서단위 III)은 해수면이 현 수준에 도달한 지난 약 6,000년 이후에 퇴적된 현생 니질 퇴적물로 구성되며 내대륙붕의 연안을 따라 제한적으로 분포한다.

Two piston cores, obtained from the southwestern Ulleung Basin in East Sea, were analyzed to study the geochemical characteristics of the late Quaternary sediments and to detect any changes in sedimentary environment. The results show that the capacity of Total Organic Carbon is remarkably higher (average 1.8%) than that known from general open-sea. According to tephrochronology from known eruption ages, the sedimentation rates are high, ranging from 12.1 to 14.9 cm/kyr. The ratios of nitrogen and TOC (average 6.18-7.42) imply that the organic matter in the study area would be of oceanic origin. The correlation between sedimentation rates and sulfur contents suggests that the study area may be on the whole anoxic and somewhat high in primary productivity. During the Termination 1, inflows of organic matters were high. The sedimentary environments are characterized by rapid rates of sedimentation, and high anoxic values were compatible with accumulation of organic matters.

Analysis on high-resolution seismic and core data reveals that the sedimentary strata in Gyeonggi Bay consists of four sedimentary units (Unit I-IV, from top to bottom) formed during the late Quaternary period. Unit I is interpreted as sediments of tidal flat and channel-fill deposits, formed during the Holocene transgression. Unit II is divided into shallow-marine facies unit in offshore area and channelized fluvial to estuarine facies unit in nearshore sand ridge and tidal flat. Unit III is considered as tidal flat deposits with the uppermost severely weathered and oxydized layers. This unit is composed of shallow marine sedimentary successions formed during the MIS-5 highstand. The lowermost Unit IV rests on Mesozoic basement rocks, considered as the shallow marine and shelf deposits formed before the MIS-5 lowstand.
