본 연구에서는 추가령 열곡의 경기도 연천군 전곡리에서 발견된 현무암층 하부 고하성층 노두의 층서 및 퇴적물 특성을 분석하였다. 야외 조사 및 입도 분석 결과, 현무암층 하부의 자갈층과 모래층은 용암대지가 형성되기 이전에 한탄강에 의해 운반 퇴적된 하성 퇴적물로 판단된다. 주원소 분석 결과, 화학적 풍화도의 측면에서 현무암 풍화층인 JG2-3이 다른 5개 시료들과는 다른 이질적인 특성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 희토류 원소 분석결과, 최하부에 위치한 자갈층은 현무암과 관계가 없는 한탄강 상류의 원 기반암에서 유래한 물질일 가능성이 높으며, 나머지 모든 층의 물질은 현무암층과 관련성이 매우 높다. OSL 연대 측정 결과, 전곡리 노두 일대에서는 약 4만 년 전까지 한탄강에 의한 하성 퇴적작용이 진행되었고, 이후 현무암 용암대지가 형성된 것으로 판단된다.

진천분지 하안단구면 상부에 퇴적되어 있는 뢰스-고토양 연속층인 진천단면을 대상으로 형성시기 및 입도조성과 기후변화 등 퇴적환경을 밝혔다. 진천단면은 상부에서 하부로 표층, 뢰스-고토양 연속층, 점이층 I, 점이층 II 그리고 하안단구 자갈층으로 이루어져 있다. OSL 연대측정 결과 뢰스-고토양 연속층은 MIS 6~4에 퇴적된 것으로 판단된다. 연속층은 대자율 변화에 기초하여 4개의 층준으로 구분된다. 입도분석 결과, 진천단면 뢰스-고토양 연속층은 지금까지 한국에서 보고된 뢰스 퇴적층과 입도조성이 유사하다. 특히 Y값은 중국 뢰스고원의 뢰스 및 고토양 층준보다는 작고, Red Clay 또는 양쯔강 하류의 Xiashu 뢰스와 유사하다. 이는 원거리 기원 또는 퇴적 이후 한반도에서 강한 풍화작용을 경험한데 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

The Okjukdong dune in Daecheong Island attracts national attention because of its unique landscape that is not covered by vegetation. However, there has been little knowledge on the timing of the dune formation, associated wind regime, and conservational strategies. In this study, we used OSL dating and grain size analyses to reveal the history of the dune development. In addition, we analyzed the wind regime in the dunefield which is surrounded by artificial coastal forest. The fine sand at Okjukdong underlain by a colluvial gravel layer indicates that the dune has been developed since at least 5 ka. Aeolian sands were found to be deposited around 700 years ago. The dunefield appears to have been severely eroded 30~60 years ago. The dune landscape has been destroyed after constructing a windbreak forest around the dunefield. The sand seems to be moving south and north with the season.

이 논문에서는 K-장석 $pIR-IRSL_{290}$ 연대측정법의 한반도 해안-하안단구 퇴적층의 연대측정 적용가능성을 알아보기 위하여, 다양한 환경(해성, 하성, 풍성)에서 형성된 한반도 해안-하안단구 시료들의 K-장석 $pIR-IRSL_{290}$, $IRSL_{50}$, 석영 OSL 신호특성을 살펴보고, 경북 울진군 노음리 하안단구 퇴적층과 구산단층 퇴적물에 대한 연대측정을 실시하였다. 연구에 사용된 27개의 시료들에 대한 K-장석 $pIR-IRSL_{290}$ 신호의 $2D_0$ 값은 평균적으로 약 700 Gy로, $IRSL_{50}$ 신호의 $2D_0$ 값과 유사하였으며, 석영 OSL 신호의 $2D_0$ 값(약 250 Gy) 보다는 3배 정도 높았다. 일부 시료에 대한 K-장석 $pIR-IRSL_{290}$, $IRSL_{50}$, 석영 OSL 연대측정 결과, K-장석 $pIR-IRSL_{290}$ 연대는, $IRSL_{50}$ 및 석영 OSL 연대보다 상당히 높았다. 이는 퇴적과정동안 장시간 햇빛에 노출되어도 제거되지 않는(unbleachable) $pIR-IRSL_{290}$ 신호에서 기인했을 가능성이 있다. 경북 울진군 노음리의 하안단구 퇴적층과 구산단층 퇴적층에서 분리한 K-장석 $pIR-IRSL_{290}$ 신호와 석영 OSL 신호도 모두 방사선포화상태에 있어, 정확한 퇴적연대를 측정하는데 한계가 있었다. 하지만, 각 신호의 성장곡선으로부터 얻은 $2D_0$ 값은 노음리 하안단구 퇴적층은 109-140 ka 이전, 구산단층에 의해 절단된 퇴적층은 적어도 100-105 ka 이전에 형성되었을 가능성을 강력히 시사한다. 이 결과는, 기존 ~40-50 ka의 석영 OSL 신호를 기반으로 한 구산단층 퇴적층의 연대가 방사선포화현상에 의해 과소평가된 연대임을 의미한다.

This study tries to analyze topographic distribution and characteristics of as well as formative age and incision rate of fluvial terraces in Danyang River on western side and Geum River on eastern side of the northern Sobaek Mountains and to estimate geomorphic development during the late Quaternary in the mountains regarded as one of the uplift axes in the Korean Peninsula. OSL age dating shows that the fluvial terrace I with an altitude above riverbed of approximately 7~13 m in Danyang River has a formative age of approximately 18 ka (MIS 2) and incision rate in the river is approximately 0.156~0.194 m/ka based on the age. Altitudes above riverbed of the fluvial terrace I in Geum River range from approximately 7 to 14 m and the terrace is thought to be older than 70 ka based on age result from aeolian sediments above the terrace deposits, suggestive of an incision rate less than approximately 0.10 m/ka. These results indicate lower uplift rate in the northern Sobaek Mountains than in the Taebaek Mountains. Moreover, it can be suggested that the northern Sobaek Mountains has experienced asymmetric uplift during the late Quaternary, because the river on western side of the northern Sobaek Mountains shows greater uplift rate than the eastern side river does. Low incision rate in Geum River can be attributed to low altitude of the river basin with little difference in altitude from the base level as well as to gentle river slope due to influence of Nakdong River.

Samples from two boreholes of coastal dune field at Jangho-ri coast, Gochang was studied. These were analyzed by grain size analysis geochemical analysis, and the application of OSL dating method to understand the development during the Holocene. The boreholes SB8 and SB9 were classified into three different sedimentary layers by their mean grain size and geochemical characteristics. The results revealed that the upper sand layer is equivalent to the present coastal dune layer, which developed since 1,200 years ago; the silt layer in the middle to the dune slack or lagoon sedimentation layer, which developed between 1,200 and 6,000 years ago; and the sand layer at the bottom to the paleo coastal dune that developed between 6,000 and 7,000 years ago. It was proposed that the forming material of current coastal dune was supplied from the sandy flat in coastal area, while the middle silt layer was supplied from the weathered soil of a bed rock by the comparison with material of surrounding area. In the case of coastal dune, concentrated layer of sands were identified which were buried about 300 and 1,200 years ago, which is identified as the little ice age. This study confirmed the development of Jangho-ri coastal dunes after Holocene Climate Optimum period, and it is likely to assist in the understanding of coastal dunes development.

This study tried to reveal incision rate distribution of streams on the northern part of the Sobaek Mountain Range with OSL age dating and geomorphic analysis, and factors influencing on the distribution were also discussed. With results from the previous studies, a total of 10 sites from 7 streams in the study area showed the rates ranging from 0.220 m/ka to 0.297 m/ka. Namhan-gang and Geum-cheon indicated the highest and lowest rates, respectively. Both sides in the northern section in the study area showed similar rates, while the western side in the middle section and the eastern side in the southern section showed higher rates than the other sides. Higher rates were also found from the eastern and northern sides where the Range runs N-S and E-W directions, respectively. Certain relationships with altitude and distance from the divide can be recognized from the rates and may be attributed to active incision with altitude and location of the uplift axis near the present divide. The rates on granite and sedimentary rock were higher than those on metamorphic rock, indicating that bedrock type is one of the important factors influencing on stream incision. Tectonic movement seemed to play some roles in the rates, because areas with lineaments showed lower rates. This study suggests that incision rate distribution of streams on the northern part of the Sobaek Mountain Range reflects various local geomorphic and geologic conditions.

Timing of terrace formation is a key information for understanding the evolution of fluvial systems. In particular, dating strath terrace (i.e. timing of terrace abandonment) is more difficult than depositional terrace that is conventionally constrained by radiocarbon, OSL and other dating methods targeting samples within terrace deposit. Surface exposure dating utilizing cosmogenic ¹⁰Be provides more reliability because it can be applied directly to the surface of a fluvial terrace. Thus, this method has been increasingly used for alluvial deposits. As well as other geomorphic surfaces over the last decades. Some inherent conditions, however, such as post-depositional ¹⁰Be concentration (i.e. inheritance), surface erosion rate, and density change challenge the application of cosmogenic ¹⁰Be to depositional terrace surface against simple bedrock surface. Here we present the first application of ¹⁰Be depth profile dating to a thin-gravel covered strath terrace in Korea. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) helped us in better constraining the timing of abandonment of the strath terrace, since which its surface stochastically denuded with time, causing unexpected change of ¹⁰Be production with depth. The age of the strath terrace estimated by MCS was 109 ka, ~4% older than the one (104 ka) calculated by simple depth profile dating, which yielded the best-fit surface erosion rate of 2.1 mm/ka. Our study demonstrates that the application of ¹⁰Be depth profile dating of strath terrace using MCS is more robust and reliable because it considers post-depositional change of initial conditions such as erosion rate.

The Cheolwon-Pyeonggang Lava Plateau on the Chugaryeong tectonic valley is one of the most extensive volcanic areas in central Korea. However, formative age and process of the plateau still remains a controversial issue. This study presented OSL ages on the upper and lower sedimentary layers of basalt from four sites in the Cheolwon and Yeoncheon areas and estimated age and process of plateau formation based on sedimentary- and chrono-stratigraphy and topographic analysis. The results suggested that most of the initial topography of the plateau on the Cheolwon and Yeoncheon areas had been almost completed before approximately 90 ka. However, the last lava flow around Jangheung-ri, Cheolwon, seemed to occur until 20-30 ka and had led to complete the present plateau, while the last lava flow in the Jeongok area, Yeoncheon, was estimated to occur at approximately 40 ka.
