유성구 장대동 지역의 홀로세 하성퇴적층에서 보존 상태가 양호한 화분, 포자가 풍 부하게 산출되었다. 이들 미화석산출을 근거로하여 두 개의 화부대가 설정되었다. 제 I 화분 대는 낙엽성활엽수의 목본화분이 풍부하게 산출괴며 반면에 초본화분은 상대적으로 빈약한 상태로 산출되는 것이 특징이다. 제 II화분대는 초본화분 중 벼과(재배종)화분이 우점으로 산출되며 소나무속도 비교적 풍부하게 산출되는 반면 낙엽성활엽수의 목본화분은 빈약하게 산출되는 것이 특징이다. 시대설정은 인접한 지역에서 화분분석과 함께 절대연령측정이 수 행된 기존의 연구자료와 비교하여 이루어졌다. 따라서 제 I화분대는 1,500 year B.P 이전 제 II화분대는 1,500 year B.P∼현재를 나타낸다. 제 I화분대에서는 인간간섭의 영향을 받기 전 인 자연식생관계를 나타내지만 제 II화분대에서는 농경과 벌목이 본격적으로 시작된 시기로 나타났다, 기후조건은 제 I화분대 동안은 온난한 온대의 습한 환경이었고, 제 Ii화분대 동안 은 현재와 비슷한 한랭한 온대의 습한 환경이었던 것으로 판단된다, 인간의 정착과 농경생 활의 시기에 대한 해석에 있어서 화분분석자료와 고고학자료가 서로 잘 일치하는 것으로 본 연구에서는 나타났다.

This study analyzed pollen compositions in archaeological site on alluvial plain of Taehwa River, Taehwa-dong, Ulsan-si vegetational and environmental change during 6,200~3,000 yr BP. The results consist upward of Pollen Zone I (Inner Bay environment), Pollen Zone II (Quercus-Alnus stage) and Pollen Zone III (Alnus stage). The pollen grains of Fagopyrum and reddish gray silty horizon including artifacts of the Bronze Age suggest that there was cultivation on dry-field around the study site, although it is not sure that there was paddy-field cultivation.

Gaemok, the place name of Uihang-ri, Sowon-myeon, Taean-gun, Chungnam, indicates a tombolo. This study estimated the Holocene sea level change and development process of the coastal landforms of the Gaemok and Hwanyeong Tombolos in the Uihang coast. The tombolos seemed to form at approximately 3.4 ka and the average sea level at that time was estimated to be higher than that of the present by ca. 1 m. The Gaemok area was a separated island from the Taean peninsula during the Holocene Climatic Optimum. At approximately 3.4 ka when the sea level rose again after the fall, the Gaemok area was tied to the land by formation of the Gaemok and Hwanyeong Tombolos. The falling or fluctuating sea levels after 3.4 ka have shaped the present coastal landforms.

과학기술문명은 윤리성 여부를 떠나 생태계 속성에 맞춰 발달시켜야 한다는 기본상식을 잊어서는 안됩니다. 자연생태계와 공존을 염두에 두어야함 '호모사피엔스'라는 생물종의 미래를 약속할 수 있습니다.

Understanding the variability of the monsoon system requires information about the changes in the past. We revealed the Mid- and Late-Holocene paleo-climate changes and Asian monsoon variations in Korea by the speleothem records from Pyeongchang. To this, we used thicknesses of growth laminae, stable-isotope analysis (carbon, oxygen), and radio-carbon age dating. The speleothem grew between ~4580 yr BP to ~660 yr BP and we identified several weak AM(Asian monsoon) events, such as Middle Bronze Age Cold Epoch, Iron Age Cold Epoch, and Dark Age Cold Period. These events might have occurred relatively early compared to those of other studies.

Coastal terrace was developed at 7.2m height near Shinchon village in Geoje Island. It is located on the east side of southern coast in Korean Peninsula, where sea-level changes caused by ebb and flow of the tide, embayment are relatively low. Due to the breccia layer by mass-movement, dark grayish clayey formation, marine origin's rounded gravel are deposited sequentially in a cross-section of coastal terrace, so it provides a good example which understand Holocene sea level changes to determine the effect on the various sedimentary environments. For the purpose of identifying the morphogenetic process, Grain size, Roundness, XRD, AMS dating analysis was attempted. As a result, after last glacial age, Holocene sea level rise to +5.6m(4,740±100yrs BP). At that time, various geomorphological features are considered to be formed.

This paper has identified the Quaternary Environmental research trend of the Korea that has become the center of physical geographers and analyzed its performance by topic. As a result, we could see that most studies are accepted as research topics of restoring topography-climate-vegetation-sea level-soil environment during 'Last Interglacial ~Holocene' targeting the Korean Peninsula and the surrounded area. However, the situation is that it is difficult to restore the Quaternary Environment of the Korea in general only with their study performance. In the future, I hope the Quaternary Environmental research of the Korea would play more leading role than the researchers of other field by selecting more wide ranged and in-depth study topics in terms of the Quaternary Environmental research to furthermore introduce a new analytic technique.

In this paper, we review previous studies on the relative sea-level changes in the Yellow Sea during the Holocene to comprehensive understand the various research results. Currently, it is reported two theories : 1) the Holocene sea-level has never been higher than the present-day level; and 2) sea-level have reached highstand during mid-Holocene, followed by slow lowering to that of the present. The first theory yields a curve that is similar to a climate-change-related eustatic sea-level curve. However, in reality, most of the relative sea-level fluctuation resulted from land uplift or subsidence. The second theory yields a curve that is fairly coincident with a relative sea-level curve indicative of continental margins being located away from the ice sheets(i.e., far-field), and is considered as an effect of GIA(Glacio Isostatic Adjustment) and gravitational attraction. Based on detailed review of previous researches, we realized that they sourced the same papers, but obtained different results because they selectively chose and added the data. The data used to derive the second theory pertain to the northern Gunsan region, which is located within the western area of the Chugaryeong fault. Thus, we believe that the sea-level curve for the second theory is only representative of the area north of Gunsan, which is subject to GIA and tectonic deformation. Although the relative sea-level curve for the west coastal area is comparable to that for the far-field continental margin region, it is necessary to evaluate local tectonic activities as suggested by active seismicity in the west coastal area and the more than 400 faults currently existing in on the Korean Peninsula.
