This study restores onshore paleo-shoreline records and establishes the nature and strain rate of neotectonism by investigating the existence and formative age of paleo-coastal sediments emerged around Sacheon-si in the Southern part of the Korean peninsula. As a result, paleo-sand bars representing 5m of the paleo-shoreline from high tide level are formed in Sacheon-si, and the formation age of these is confirmed as MIS 5c at approximately 100,000 year BP through rock surface luminescence dating to rounded gravels in paleo-sand bars. Although it is difficult to establish the uplift rate of crust precisely due to incomplete restoration of sea level records during the last interglacial stage, the uplift rate along the Southern coast of the peninsula was assumed approximately 0.72 lower than the Eastern coast during the late Quaternary in comparison to the 1st marine terrace along the Eastern coast.

As a multidisciplinary study encompassing oceanography and history, we have attempted to reanalyze the course of a historical navel battle, Myungryang Naval Battle(September 16th, 1597 according to the lunar calendar) through hindcasting the paleo-tidal currents and -tides(PTC). Firstly, we conducted harmonic analysis using 6-month current data observed at Uldolmok and 1-year elevation data provided by Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute in order to understand their characteristics and to hindcast the PTC. Observation results show that Uldolmok, ~300m wide, relatively narrow channel, is characterized by a flood-dominant mixed mainly semidiurnal tidal regime induced by relatively-strong shallow water constituents, showing closely a standing wave type of tidal current. Further, we hindcasted PTC on the day of Myungryang Naval Battle. Our results were compared and discussed with results(time and speeds of maximum(flood and ebb) currents and high and low water times) of the previous studies estimated from different methods. Lastly, we reconstruct the course of the event of Myungryang Naval Battle recorded in the Admiral Sun-Sin Yi's War Diary(Nangjung Iigi in Korean) based on our hindcasting results.

In this study, geomorphological and geological research has been carried out to estimate the possibility of ancient port location near Hwaseong Dangseong. Geomorphological characteristics around Eunsupo were analyzed through comparison of past and present topographic maps and field survey. Grain size, age dating, and geochemical analysis on surface sediments and borehole sediments were performed. Through the geomorphological characteristics analysis, it was interpreted that Eunsupo area was submerged in seawater especially at high tide in the past, and that ships could approach to the inside of the area through the tidal channel which were developed in the area. It is also assumed that ships were anchored at a low elevation point in the area. The paleo-environmental change in the area was analyzed based on the classification of sedimentary environment using grain size distribution of surface and borehole sediments and geochemical analysis. It was confirmed that the geomorphological interpretation for the possibility of ancient port location coincided well with the paleo-environmental change interpreted through sediment analysis. This study is a basic study for estimating ancient port location, and it is expected that more accurate paleo-environmental changes will be restored through detailed geomorphological survey and additional borehole analysis in the future research.

This study documents the level of paleo-shoreline and the timing of formation of the lowest marine terrace (1st terrace) distributed in Dadaepo, Busan, South Korea. In the study area, the elevation of paleo-shoreline of the 1st terrace is clearly identified as 5 meters above mean high tide based on the elevation of wave-cut platforms and the elevation of boundary between marine and terrestial sediments. This is well consistent with the fact that are found along the Southern coast of the Korean Peninsula including Daepo-dong, Sacheon-si. The timing of formation of the 1st terrace in Dadaepo is confirmed to have been deposited around 70,000~80,000 years BP (MIS 5a) according to OSL and IRSL dating ages. However, because the formation age of the 1st terrace in Sacheon-si Daepo-dong (Southerm coast) and Pohang-si Umok-ri (Eastern coast) previously identified as about 90,000~100,000 years BP (MIS 5c), further discussion of what is needed. Possibly, it can be interpreted that the sub-interglacial (MIS 5a and 5c) sea-level records during the last interglacial period are likely to be selective on land depending on regions.

지난 최대빙하기 이후 형성된 대륙붕 퇴적체의 퇴적환경 변화를 연구하기 위해 동중국해 북부(북동중국해) 대륙붕에서 채취된 코아 퇴적물에 대한 탄소동위원소(AMS $^{14}C$) 연대측정과 함께 저서유공충 군집 변화를 분석하였다. 코아퇴적물은 최하부에서 약 16,000yr B.P.이며, 최상부 30cm에서는 약 3,000yr B.P.로 지난 최대빙하기에서 최근까지 순차적으로 발달한 퇴적충으로 구성된다. 코아 퇴적물에서 산출되는 저서유공충 분석 결과, 군집조성, 종수(S) 그리고 종다양도(H(S)) 등이 약 240cm를 기준으로 상부와 하부에서 뚜렷하게 구분된다. 퇴적물 깊이 240cm 이하의 하부 퇴적층(Zone I)에서는 Ammonia beccarii와 Elphidium clavatum (s.l.)이 우세하게 출현하며, 부유성 유공충 산출율(P/T ratio, 평균 22%)과 종수(평균 44), 다양도(평균 2.9) 등이 상대적으로 낮다. 이러한 저서유공층 군집 특성과 연대측정에 근거할 때 Zone I은 최대빙하기 이후 초기 해수면 상승 동안(16${\sim}$10ka) 수심 약 20${\sim}$30m 내외의 염하구 환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 한편 상부의 Zons II 퇴적층은 Eilohedra nipponica와 Bolivina robusta가 우점하며, 부유성 유공층 산출율(>40%)과 종수(>60) 둥이 크게 증가하는 경향을 보인다. Zone II는 유공충 군집 구성 특성에 따라 두 개의 구간(Zone IIa와 IIb)으로 세분되며, Zone IIa는 약 9,000 yr B.P. 이후 해수면이 빠르게 상승하는 현세 해침 동안 연구해역에 형성된 내-중대륙붕 환경에서, 그리고 Zone IIb는 약 6,000 yr B.P. 이후 해수면이 현재와 같은 수심 80m 내외의 외대륙붕 환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 결론적으로 코아 퇴적물의 저서유공충 군집 변화 특성은 최대빙하기 이후해수면 상승과 함께 형성된 대륙붕 퇴적체의 퇴적환경 변화를 잘 반영한다.
