Abstract
The latest Pleistocene-Holocene deposits on the Korea Strait shelf form a high-frequency sequence which consists of three systems tracts: the lowstand, transgressive and highstand systems tract. The lowstand systems tract is distributed on the shelf margin and trough region, whereas the highstand systems tract is confined only to the inner shelf. Although the transgressive systems tract between the lowstand systems tract and the highstand systems tract was identified over a wide area of the shelf, it is either very thin (a few meters thick) or absent.
