  • This study aims to estimate the similarities of lacustrine deposits of lava-dammed Yeoncheon paleo-lake by geochemical analysis such as XRF, ICP-AES, and 14C and OSL age datings in Chugaryeong Rift Valley of Central Korea. OSL age of the lacustrine coastal deposit(YC1) is estimated as 0.11-0.13 Ma. It indicates that paleo-deposits may have remained during at least 20,000 years from 0.13 Ma The origin analysis of deposits were carried out by comparison between lacustrine mud layers($YC1{\sim}2$) and various geomorphic materials of vicinity As a result, the similarity of the origin is highest between the paleo-coastal alluvial deposit of Chatan River(YC8), and surface clay deposit of Jeongok lava plateau(YC9) Next higher similarity is between paleo-lacustrine bottom deposit(YC2) and west valley-side mountain slope colluvial materials(YC5). Another high similarities are among present Chatan River channel sediment(YC7), acustrine coastal deposit(YC1) and east valley-side mountain slope colluvial materials(YC4).

  • In the Yeongpyeong River, one of the branches of Hantan River, there 4 fluvial terraces are identified. During the Quaternary, lava flow from Hantan River had gone 4.5km into upstream Part of the Yeongpyeong River and damed its entrance, and resultantly its lower basin had become a lava-damed paleolake. This study deals with fluvial terrace surface classification, stratigraphic analysis, deposits analysis, and OSL age dating in from Gungpyeongri to Seongdongri in lower reach of Yeongpyeong River, in order to identify Seomorphological Process of the terrace landforms relating to duration of lava-damed paleolake. Terrace surface T4, named Baekeuiri Formation, has been located under Jeongok lava layer to indicate pre-lava river bed. Terrace surfaces T3 and T2 are supposed to be formed during paleolake time, based on $3{\~}4m$ thick sand deposits including pebble and cobble layers, and clay and silt layers intersected with sand ones in nearly horizontal bedding. Terrace T1 is estimated to be formed as post-lake fluvial terrace after dissection of lava dam, based on the more fresh phase of deposits and very low height from present riverbed. The results of the OSL age dating for the T3 deposit layers indicate approximately $33{\~}40ka$, and still lake phase at that time.

  • The formation of the lava dam of the paleo lake blocked the entrance to the Chatancheon River on the Jeongok lava plateau and it suddenly transformed the terrestrial ecosystem into the aquatic one by the overflow. The spiders in the lava dam adapted in the wetland and evolved into water spiders that could survive by forming bubble houses. Since then, the lava dam was connected to the present Hantangang River due to the dissection and the lake became a terrestrial environment, a small area of marsh composed of primarily clay soil layer. Change in water level of the habitat and thus the extension of the terrestrial area made the species a endangered now. This study carried out frequency of occurrence, degree of wetness and plant habitats of the vascular plant in the water spider habitat. As a result of this study, total 180taxa are of 55 (30.6%) wetland plant groups and of 113 (62.8%) upland plant groups except facultative plant groups. Among the wetland plant groups, the Isachne globosa community occupied the largest area, where the water spiders were most observed. The result of this study, the classification and the types of vascular plant species, would provide useful information for the sustaining healthy wetland ecosystem and the restoration of the habitat for the water spiders.
