Abstract
Optical dating, using infrared stimulation of K-feldspar grains, was undertaken to determine the sedimentation rate of a recently deposited tidal flat on the western coast of Korea. Very low luminescence of the natural surface sample confirms that the materials we investigated were well bleached at deposition. The five IRSL ages obtained show a reasonable stratigraphic correlation with the expected sedimentation rate of approximately 50cm/100yr. In addition the recuperation effect due to thermal transfer was discussed. We conclude that the optical dating used here shows a great promise to determine the sedimentation rates of tidal flats.
