For the understanding the locus of the Quinling-Dabie-Sulu continental collision’s boundary and the underground structure of the sedimentray basin in the Yellow Sea, three dimensional density modelling is carrid out by using gravity dataset (Free Air Anomaly), which is measured by Tamhae 2, GIGAM in a period 2000-2002. The measured gravity anomaly in the investigations area is mainly responsed by depth distribution of the sedimentary basin. After comparing the sea-measured gravity data to CHAMP-GRACE satellite gravity data, I suggested that the high density model bodies extend mainly from the southern part of China to the middle-western part of the Korean Peninsula, which might be emplaced along the continental collision’s boundary. The total volume of very low density bodies modified by modelling might be about 20 000 km3.

In this study, 31 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2011 to 2021 were taken as the research objects, and the super-SBM model was used to measure the regional eco-efficiency with capital, labor, land and resource input as input variables, GDP and green coverage as the desirable outputs, and wastewater, waste gas and solid waste emissions as the undesired outputs. Tobit regression was used to analyze the effects of external environmental factors on eco-efficiency. The results showed that the average level of eco-efficiency in China was low, and the eco-efficiency in the eastern region was higher than that in other regions, and there were great differences in the western, northeast and central regions.

최근 동아시아의 발원지에서부터 편서풍을 따라 이동해 오는 황사는 중국의 북동부 공업지대에서 방출되는 중금속 오염물질까지 함께 섞여 수송되므로 그 피해는 훨씬 심각하다. 지난 20년 동안 황사에 대한 많은 연구가 발원지의 기원, 수송 및 침적 메카니즘, 그리고 황사의 광학적 특성과 물리적 특성의 정성분석을 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 이들 연구는 주로 위성, 라이다. 원격탐사 그리고 기타 지표관측 자료를 이용하여 황사의 광학적 두께 및 화학성분 분석, 일기도를 이용한 기상장 분석, 그리고 중규모 기상 모델과 황사의 장거리 수송에 집중되어 있었다(정관영과 박순웅, 1997; Murayama et al., 2001).

진도의 거리에 따른 감쇠양상은 두가치 측면에서 중요하다. 첫째는 역사지진의 크기를 평가하는데 사용되고 둘째는 역사지진자료를 이용하여 지진위험도를 평가하는데 이용된다. 한반도의 경우 대부분의 지진활동 자료가 역사지진이므로 이지진들의 크기를 결정하고 이들을 이용하여 지진위험도를 평가하기 위하여 합리적인 진도감쇠양상의 결정은 매우 중요한 과제라 할수 있다 진도의 감쇠양상은 진앙진도와 진앙거리 등 두요소에 같이 의존함이 알려져 있으므로 한반도에서 MMI VIII만의 지진자료를 이용하여 결정된 Lee의 기존의 감쇠공식은 그 사용범위에 한계가 불가피하므로 상기 두 가지 요소를 함께 고려한 새로운 감쇠공식의 유도가 요구되어진다. 지체구조적으로 Sino-Korean 지괴라고 불리우는 중국 북동부와 한반도에서 발생한 MMI VIII-X 지진들의 자료를 이용하여 한반도에서 발생하는 MMI VIII-X의 강진들에 대한 새로운 진도감쇠양상을 결정하였다.

We studied petrological and geochemical characteristics of the Mesozoic volcanic rocks in the Da Hinggan Ling area northeast China, and discussed tectonic settings and origin of the Mesozoic volcanic rocks in northeast Asia. Volcanic rocks in Da Hinggan Ling area are composed of alkaline to subalkaline basalt-basaltic andesite-andesite-dacite-rhyolite, showing typical BAR(basalt-andesite-rhyolite) association. However, most of the volcanic rocks are basaltic and rhyolitic in composition, and andesitic rocks are relatively rare, which shows bimodal characteristics. Rb, Ba, Th and other incompatible element contents in the volcanic rocks are enriched, but the contents decrease with increasing the compatibility. REEs are fractionated and REE patterns of volcanic rocks are characterized by a high LILE/HFSE. On the tectonomagmatic discriminant diagram of Hf-Th-Nb, they fall into the fields for subduction-related destructive plate margin basalts and its differentiates. We suggest that the tectonomagmatic setting of Da Hinggan Ling area was located at the continental margin arc related with subduction environment during the Mesozoic time or may be derived from mantle plume contaminated geochemically from subducting slabs, although it is, at present within the Asia continent.

The tectonic evolution of the Central Ogcheon Belt has been newly analyzed in this paper from the detailed geological maps by lithofacies classification, the development processes of geological structures, microstructures, and the time-relationship between deformation and metamorphism in the Ogcheon, Cheongsan, Mungyeong Buunnyeong, Busan areas, Korea and the fossil and radiometric age data of the Ogcheon Supergroup(OSG). The 1st tectonic phase($D^*$) is marked by the rifting of the original Gyeonggi Massif into North Gyeonggi Massif(present Gyeonggi Massif) and South Gyeonggi Massif (Bakdallyeong and Busan gneiss complexes). The Joseon Supergroup(JSG) and the lower unit(quartzose psammitic, pelitic, calcareous and basic rocks) of OSG were deposited in the Ogcheon rift basin during Early Paleozoic time, and the Pyeongan Supergroup(PSG) and its upper unit(conglomerate and pelitic rocks and acidic rocks) appeared in Late Paleozoic time. The 2nd tectonic phase(Ogcheon-Cheongsan phase/Songnim orogeny: D1), which occurred during Late Permian-Middle Triassic age, is characterized by the closing of Ogcheon rift basin(= the coupling of the North and South Gyeonggi Massifs) in the earlier phase(Ogcheon subphase: D1a), and by the coupling of South China block(Gyeonggi Massif and Ogcheon Zone) and North China block(Yeongnam Massif and Taebaksan Zone) in the later phase(Cheongsan subphase: D1b). At the earlier stage of D1a occurred the M1 medium-pressure type metamorphism of OSG related to the growth of coarse biotites, garnets, staurolites. At its later stage, the medium-pressure type metamorphic rocks were exhumed as some nappes with SE-vergence, and the giant-scale sheath fold, regional foliation, stretching lineation were formed in the OSG. At the D1b subphase which occurs under (N)NE-(S)SW compression, the thrusts with NNE- or/and SSW-vergence were formed in the front and rear parts of couple, and the NNE-trending Cheongsan shear zone of dextral strike-slip and the NNE-trending upright folds of the JSG and PSG were also formed in its flank part, and Daedong basin was built in Korean Peninsula. After that, Daedong Group(DG) of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic was deposited. The 3rd tectonic phase(Honam phase/Daebo orogeny: D2) occurred by the transpression tectonics of NNE-trending Honam dextral strike-slip shearing in Early~Late Jurassic time, and formed the asymmetric crenulated fold in the OSG and the NNE-trending recumbent folds in the JSG and PSG and the thrust faults with ESE-vergence in which pre-Late Triassic Supergroups override DG. The M2 contact metamorphism of andalusite-sillimanite type by the intrusion of Daebo granitoids occurred at the D2 intertectonic phase of Middle Jurassic age. The 4th tectonic phase(Cheongmari phase: D3) occurred under the N-S compression at Early Cretaceous time, and formed the pull-apart Cretaceous sedimentary basins accompanying the NNE-trending sinistral strike-slip shearing. The M3 retrograde metamorphism of OSG associated with the crystallization of chlorite porphyroblasts mainly occurred after the D2. After the D3, the sinistral displacement(Geumgang phase: D4) occurred along the Geumgang fault accompanied with the giant-scale Geumgang drag fold with its parasitic kink folds in the Ogcheon area. These folds are intruded by acidic dykes of Late Cretaceous age.

Benthic foraminiferal assemblage and AMS radiocarbon dating of core sediments from the northern shelf of the East China Sea were analyzed in order to understand the paleoenvironment and sedimentary environmental changes around the Korean marginal seas since the last glacial maximum (LGM). The core sediments, containing continuous records of the last 16,000 years, reveal a series of well-defined vertical changes in number of species (S), P/T ratio and species diversity (H) as well as foraminiferal assemblage. Such down-core variations display a sharp change at a core depth of approximately 240 cm, which corresponds to ca. 10,000 year B.P. The sediments of the lower part of the core (240${\sim}$560 cm, Zone I), including the well-developed tide-influenced sedimentary structures, are characterized by high abundances of Ammonia beccarii and Elphidium clavatum (s.l.) and low values in number of species, P/T ratio and diversity. These tide-influenced signatures and foraminiferal assemblage characters suggest that the sediments of Zone I were deposited in a coastal environment (water depths of 20${\sim}$30 m) such as tidal estuary with an influence of the paleo-rivers (e.g., old-Huanghe and Yangtze rivers) during the early phase of the sea-level rise (ca. 16,000 to 10,000 years) since the LGM. In contrast, the upper core sediments (0${\sim}$240 cm, Zone II) are characterized by abundant Eilohedra nipponica and Bolivina robusta with a minor contribution of A. ketienziensis angulata and B. marginata. and high values in number of species, P/T ratio and diversity. Based on relative abundance of these assemblage, Zone II can be divided into two subzones (IIa and IIb). Zone IIa is interpreted to be deposited under the inner-to-middle shelf environment during the marine transgression in the early Holocene (after ca. 9,000 yr B.P.) when sea level rapidly increased. The sediments of zone IIb most likely deposited after 6,000 yr B.P. under the outer shelf environment (80${\sim}$100 m water depth), which is similar to modem depositional environments. The muddy sediments of zone IIb were probably transported from the old-Huanghe and Yangtze Rivers during the late Holocene. We suggest that the present-day oceanographic conditions over the Yellow and the East China Seas have been established after ca. 7,000${\sim}$6,000 yr B.P. when the Kuroshio Current began to influence this area.

In and around the Korean Peninsula, 9 intraplate earthquake mechanisms since 1936 were analyzed to understand the regional stress orientation and tectonics. These earthquakes are largest ones in this century and may represent the characteristics of earthquake in this region. Focal mechanism of these earthquakes show predominant strike-slip faulting with small amount of thrust components. The average P-axis is almost horizontal ENE-WSW. This indicate that not only the subducting Pacific Plate but also the indenting Indian Plate controls earthquake mechanism in the far east of the Eurasian Plate.

호남전단대는 옥천대 남서부지역에 북동 내지 북북동 방향으로 발달하는 일련의 우수향 연성전단대로 한반도를 포함하는 동북아 지역의 중생대 부가작용과 관련하여 매우 중요한 조구조적 요소이며, 특히 북중국 대륙과 남중국 대륙이 유라시아 대륙에 부가되는 과정과 관련하여 동북아 지역의 중생대 지체구조 발달사를 설정하는데 매우 중요하게 생각되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 조구조적 중요성에도 불구하고 호남전단대의 정확한 운동 시기는 아직 밝혀지지 않고 있다. 이번 연구는 전주전단대가 지나가는 김제 금산사 지역과 무안 지역에 분포하는 화강암류를 대상으로 SHRIMP U-Pb 저어콘 연대 측정을 실시하여 전단운동시기를 밝혔다. 금산사 지역은 엽리상 각섬석-흑운모 화강섬록암이 흑운모 화강암에 포획된 명확한 지질학적 증거를 보이고 있는 곳으로 화강섬록암의 U-Pb 저어콘 연대는 172.7 $\pm$ 1.4 Ma이며 화강암의 연대는 169.6 $\pm$ 1.8 Ma과 167.5 $\pm$ 2.4 Ma로 구해졌다. 따라서 전주전단대의 전단운동은 약 173 - 170 Ma 기간에 일어났다. 특히 화강암 내에 포획된 화강섬록암 내에는 전반적인 우수향 전단운동 후기에 관입한 다수의 석영질 맥이 좌수향의 전단운동을 받은 증거가 관찰되는데 이러한 사실은 우수향의 전단운동 이후 화강암의 관입 이전에 좌수향의 전단 운동이 있었음을 지시한다. 무안 지역은 전주전단대의 끝 부분에 해당하는 곳으로 각섬석화강섬록암과 이를 관입한 각섬석화강암이 모두 우수향의 전단운동을 받았다. 화강섬록암의 U-Pb 저어콘 연대는 176.3 $\pm$ 1.7 Ma이며 화강암의 연대는 165.8 $\pm$ 2.0 Ma로 구해졌으며, 따라서 최종 우수향 전단운동의 시기는 166 Ma 이후로 생각된다. 무안 지역에 분포하는 화강섬록암과 화강암의 관입시기는 금산사 지역의 화강섬록암과 화강암과 각각 조화적이다. 호남전단대의 운동 시기를 밝히기 위해 전주전단대에 해당하는 금산사 지역과 무안 지역에 분포하는 화강암류에 대한 U-Pb 저어콘 연대 측정을 실시한 결과 호남전단대의 특징적인 우수향 전단운동은 적어도 2회에 걸쳐 일어났음을 알 수 있다. 즉 첫 번째 광역적인 전단운동은 약 173 - 170 Ma 시기에 일어났으며, 두 번째 전단운동은 166 Ma 이후에 일어났음을 알 수 있다. 한편 전기의 우수향 전단운동은 후기 화강암 관입 이전에 좌수향 전단 운동에 의해 부분적으로 재활성 되었으며, 후기 화강암의 관입 이후에 재차 우수향 전단운동으로 활성화 되었음을 알 수 있다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 호남전단대는 쥬라기 중기에 발생한 광역적인 우수향의 연성전단운동이나, 운동 특성은 연속적이기 보다는 단속적으로 일어난 것으로 생각된다.

To understand the distribution and formation mechanism of benthic foraminiferal assemblages, grain size analysis, ¹⁴C radiocarbon dating, and benthic foraminifera analysis were conducted on thirty-two surface sediments collected from the continental shelf of the northern East China Sea, respectively. Surface sediment was composed of sandy mud~muddy sand facies with an average of 52.04% of sand, 13.72% of silt, and 34.20% of clay. These sedimentary facies are palimpsest sediment. Benthic foraminifera was classified into a total of 48 genera and 104 species, including agglutinated foraminifera, calcareous-hyaline, and calcareous-porcelaneous foraminifera. The production rate of agglutinated foraminifera increased toward the Yangtze River area while that of planktonic foraminifera increased toward Jeju Island. Dominant species are Ammonia ketienziensis, Bolivina robusta, Eggella advena, Eilohedra nipponica, Pseudorotalia gamardii, Pseudoparrella naraensis. ¹⁴C radiocarbon datings of Bolivina robusta and Pseudorotalia gamardii with the highest production rate were 2,360±40 yr B.P. and 2,450±40 yr B.P., respectively. In the result of cluster analysis, three assemblages composed of P. gaimardii, B. robusta, and A. ketienziensis-P. naraensis were classified broadly. P. gaimardii assemblage is thought to be formed from about 2.5 yr B.P. at the sea area of the Yangtze River to 50 m in water depth affected by fresh water. B. robusta assemblage is thought to be formed from about 2.4 yr B.P. at the sea area of Jeju Island to 50~100 m affected by offshore water. And then, A. ketienziensisP. naraensis assemblage was formed in the northwest sea area (Central Yellow Sea Mud). These distributions and composition of benthic foraminiferal assemblages formed from about 2.5 yr B.P. in the northern East China Sea are thought to be due to the change of benthic ecology environment that occurred by the sea level increase during the late Holocene.
