Loading time and loading environment of the Dokdo seamounts were studied from flexure model and VGP(Virtual Geomagnetic Pole) determined by gravity and magnetic data. In spite of their similarity in size. a large difference about 50 mGal between gravity anomaly peaks of Dokdo and the Isabu Tablemount suggests different compensation degrees. Flexural modeling results show that the flexural rigidity(effective elastic thickness) of lithosphere for Dokdo is stronger(thicker) than that for the Isabu Tablemount. Also, it implies that the age of lithosphere at the time of loading of the Isabu Tablemount may be younger than that of Dokdo. Magnetic anomalies occur complicated over the Dokdo seamounts. Paleomagnetism was studied from VGP estimated by the least square and the seminorm magnetization methods with 1500 m upward continued magnetic anomalies. Age dating of Dokdo from previous study, flexural modeling, VGP, and geomagnetic polarity time scale suggest that after the cease of spreading in the Ulleung Basin, the Isabu Tablemount was formed first in normal polarity interval and followed by Dokdo. Also, they indicate that the fist large eruption of Dokdo was in normal polarity interval and the second large eruption in reversed polarity interval. The Simheungtaek Tablemount was formed in normal polarity interval between the formations of the Isabu Tablemount and Dokdo. These loading times for the Dokdo seamounts show a good coherence with the compressive stress period after the end of the opening of the East Sea. The Dokdo seamounts probably was caused by volcanism associated with the compressive stress.

At present, 3 names about undersea features in the East Sea - Korean Plateau, Tsushima Basin, Syun-yo Bank - are listed on Gazetteer Any explanations are not given for registration of these names. Just it seems that the names written on International marine chart(INT 511) were recorded to Gazetteer. Furthermore Tsushima Basin and Syun-yo Bank have no oceanographic, geologic reason and geographical relevance, and the names should be replaced by Ulleung Basin and Isabu Tablemount, respectively, that is deeply related to geographical relevance and genetic origin.

울릉분지 북동쪽 독도 주변 해역은 해수면 위의 작은 섬들과 해저에 큰 화산체로 구성된 독도와 해수면 아래 큰 규모의 해산 두 개(심흥택해산, 이사부해산)가 위치하고 있으며 그 중 해수면위로는 독도만 솟아 있다. 정밀해저면영상기(MS-1000)를 이용하여 큰 규모의 조사선으로 접근이 어려웠던 동도-서도 주변 연안에 대한 정밀해저면영상 조사를 2010년 1월에 소형조사선을 이용하여 수행하였다. 부두 동쪽 해안은 동도와 근접하고 있어 큰 규모의 돌출 암반이 많이 분포하고 있으며 부두 북쪽으로는 모래층의 연흔구조가 많이 나타나며 소규모의 암반 및 자갈들이 많이 분포하는 것으로 판단된다. 동도와 서도사이의 해저면영상을 분석해보면 동도 선착장부근으로는 모래퇴적물의 연흔구조가 많이 나타나고 동도와 서도 중앙부로 가면서 모래보다는 작은 자갈들이 많이 분포하며 서도쪽으로 가면서는 모래 및 자갈퇴적물이 암반구조로 이루어져있는 것으로 판단된다. 정밀해저면영상기(MS-1000)는 고정밀한 해저면영상을 획득할 수 있으며 불규칙한 지형으로 기존 장비가 접근하없어지며기 어려운 해저지형에도 사용하기 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 향후 항구 및 해안구조물 등과 같은 고정밀해저면영상이 필요한 분야에 활용성이 높을 것으로 생각되고 또한 유지/보수가 필요한 수중 군시설 및 부두시설에 대한 정밀조사를 통하여 효율적 관리 정보제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper focuses on introducing the concept of the multi-scale study on the Ulleungdo-Dokdo Volcanic Group in the East Sea and recent new findings from it. Multi-channel seismic reflection data reveals that the major volcanic activities of the Ulleungdo-Dokdo Volcanic Group took place between 5 and 2.5 Ma, which were propagated from Isabu Tablemount on the eastern end to the Ulleung Island on the western end. The terrestrial Ulleung Island was built via 5 stages, which eventually formed a 3 km-wide caldera, named Nari Caldera, and a volcanic dome, named Albong, within the caldera. The Albong and the unit N-1, the earliest phreatomagmatic explosive phase of the Albong volcano, were generated from a new magma injected into the existing phonolitic body. The generally trachyandesitic bulk rock composition of the pumice in unit N-1 and Albong is attributed to the contamination of the new magma by mafic cumulates at the base of the existing phonolitic chamber. The lines of evidence of a new magma injection point toward that Ulleung Island is an active volcano with a live subvolcanic magma plumbing system.
