The most common method for estimating the uplifting rate is to measure the height of the coastal terraces. Coastal terraces are basically formed at the sea level position. During the Holocene age, both the height of the sea level and the coastal terrace are uncertain. The purpose of this paper is to clarify that the uplifting rate of the Korean Peninsula varies depending on the region, based on the height of sea level, the height of coastal terraces, and GPS observations. Gangwon-do and Jeolla-do provinces seem to have been stabilized at least since the beginning of the Holocene period. Overall distribution pattern of the uplifting rates on the Korean peninsula is likely to be related to the massifs. Of course, the boundaries of the massifs are faults, so the role of faults would be great. Essentially however, it is reasonable to consider that the difference in local uplift rates depends on the characteristics of the massif itself. The characteristics may include differences in response to stresses from tectonic movements, differences in crustal thicknesses, and so on.

The Holocene marine surficial sediments and submarine morphology of the continental shelf of the Korea South Sea have been investigated to understand the evolutionary history of tile continental shelf sedimentation in relation to Holocelle sea level fluctuations. It is considered that along 120m $\pm$ $\alpha$ water depth of so-called Pusan Trough between the Tsushima Island and Pusan, Korea the lowest stand of Holocene sea level seems to be existed.

To study stratigraphy of tidal basin deposits, related unconformity and source of late Holocene tidal sediments in Namyang Bay, west coast of Korea, total 8 vibracore sediments have been analyzed. The uppermost stratigraphic sequence of the late Holocene Namyang intertidal deposit overlies three different stratigraphic sequences (1) oxidized reddish brown muddy deposit (Yongduri Member), (2) oxidized yellow deposit (Kanweoldo Formation) and (3) the pre-Cambrian gneiss complex unconformably. Accordingly, three unconformities between those different sequences are recognized. The Namyang tidal deposits (late Holocene) with several meter thickness are mostly coarsening upward sequence suggesting transgressive phase during a continuous rise of sea level. The tidal deposit vibracored down to 4.5 m in depth contains clastic glauconite sands (2% in average) from 2.5 m to the vibracore bottom. These glauconite sands are considered to be transported to the site of Namyang Bay tidal sedimentation from offshore continental shelf of the Yellow Sea along the course of late Holocene sea-level rise.

Detailed interdisciplinary investigations demonstrate that the Yeongsan River estuarine-filled sediments clearly record important paleoenvironmental changes during the Last Glacial and Holocene. The sediments from 18.9 m(20.5∼l.6m in depth) long core MW-1 are differentiated by changes in sedimentary textures and palynomorph assemblages. Chronology was provided by AMS$^{14}$C dating and regional pollen correlation. Three paleoenvironrnental phases are recognized: (1) The Last Glacial deposits consist mainly of fluvial sediments and paleosols, experienced deposition alternating with pedogenesis. The appearance of the paleosols suggests that the paleoclimate might be cold and humid. (2) The early and middle Holocene phase started abruptly in response to the rapid global climatic warming. and is characterized by abundant marine palynomorphs. (3) The late Holocene is marked by more cool conditions. The paleoenvironmental changes recorded in the sediments coincide not only with local but also with broad-scale, probably global climate changes.

The stratigraphy of the Gomso-Bay tidal flat consists of basement, preHolocene oxidized unit, and Holocene tidal sequence in ascending order. The oxidized unit is a yellowish brown stiff mud of the last stadial (or subglacial) stage before 12,000 yr B.P. This yellowish brown preHolocene unit does not contain any marine fossils, but contains plant roots, plant fragments, and also vertical and horizontal microfractures indicating soil-formation when exposed. It is regarded as interfluve deposits. The Holocene tidal sequence is composed of lower mud facies (upper-flat muds), upper sand and muddy sand facies (middle to lower-flat sands). This coarsening-upward and retrograding pattern of Holocene tidal deposits reflects a Holocene sea-level rise. The plots of $\^$14/C-age versus depth of dated samples (peats and shells) show that the sea level of 7,000 yr B.P. was located about 6.5 m below the present mean sea level, and the sea levels of 4,000 yr B.P. and 2,000 yr B.P. were also situated about 3 m and 2.5 m below the present mean sea level, respectively.

Pyrite ($FeS_2$) content in brackish and salt marsh sediments is relatively higher than the amount in freshwater marsh sediments. Different values of pyrite sulfur ($FeS_2$-S) content in sediments from the Hiroshima Delta indicate that poorly drained salt marsh had developed between 27.0m and 28.0m below mean sea-level and palaeo-sea-level was constant for several hundreds of years in the same depth during the early Holocene Epoch.
