There have been growing concerns for the sea level rise due to global warming in recent years. Sea level rise is a serious problem to densely populated coastal areas, because it may affect the coastal landforms to be damaged. Especially coastal sand deposits like coastal dunes are more sensitive than the other coastal landforms. In this paper, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating method were used to identify the Holocene geomorphic changes of coastal dune field in Shinduri located at the western coast. The main results in this study that are the dunefield in the study area may have begun to form at around 6.8 ka and it has grown seaward thereafter. Then, dunefield appears to have extensively developed since 3.7 ka. This result, together with previous works on the sea level and climatic changes in the western coast of Korea suggest that the dunefield has been affected by the sea level regression since the Holocene high stand in the Holocene at around 6 ka and climatic change from warm and humid to cold and dry conditions occurred at 4.5 ka.

낙동강 하구 제4기 홀로세 퇴적층에 대한 연구의 하나로 김해평야에 분포하는 점토퇴적층 (부산점토)을 대상으로 지구물리탐사를 실시하였다. 연구는 제한적인 몇 개의 지역에 대해 예비연구로 시행되었다. 그 결과 수직탐사에 의한 누적 전기비저항이 지층의 특성을 가장 잘 반영해 주었다. 점토층은 2.0~3.0$\Omega$ㆍm 이하의 전기비저항을 가지며 낙동강에 인접할수록 비저항의 크기는 다소 증가하였다. 이러한 방법은 상대적인 지층의 대비에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것이며 객관성을 가지기 위해서는 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

본 논문에서는 고속으로 홀로그램을 생성하기 위해 새로운 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램(computer-generated hologram, CGH) 수식을 제안하고, 셀 기반의 VLSI(very large scale integrated circuit) 구조를 제안하였다. 기본 CGH 수식에서 가로 또는 세로 방향의 연산 규칙을 찾아낸 후 가로 또는 세로 방향의 홀로그램 화소를 병렬적으로 구할 수 있는 수식을 유도하였다. 제안한 수식을 바탕으로 초기 파라미터 연산기(initial parameter calculator)와 업데이트-위상 연산기(update-phase calculator)로 구성된 CGH 셀의 구조를 제안하고 하드웨어로 구현하였다. 수식의 변형을 통해서 하드웨어를 간략화 시킬 수 있었고, CGH의 확장을 통해 가로 방향으로 병렬화시킬 수 있는 하드웨어 구조도 보였다. 실험에서는 하드웨어에 사용된 자원을 분석하였다. CGH 커널과 프로세서의 구조는 이전 연구에서 사용된 플랫폼을 그대로 사용하였다.

This study examined the Holocene environmental changes by OSL dating and magnetic susceptibility (MS) in 12 sediment cores from estuarine tidal flat, Mosan Bay Estuary, west coast of Korea. For the complexity of the geomorphic characteristics of estuaries, it is difficult to obtain a series of data. The following significant results were derived using relatively simple methods. First, MS data shows sensitive changes in pattern according to the precipitation change during mid to late Holocene. Second, MS data show periodicity of 250 yr. when they were wavelet transformed. This periodicity is related with the intensifying of solar intensity, the East Asian Summer Monsoon and ENSO. Thus, MS data from estuarine sediments are valuable data which can explain mechanism of climate change in East Asia and worthy as proxy data.

To find out the buried age of the relict dune sediments, a luminescence dating bas conducted for a relict dune from the Sindu dunefield on the Taean Peninsula. It shows that the deposition of the dune sands at 3m depth began about 690$\sim$730 years ago. From 3m to l.5m depth, the lower part of the dune bas remained stable, but a relict dune deposit appear at 1.3m depth. This part yields an age of about 68 years. The two samples that were collected from the lower part of the dune at depths of the 1.5 m and 3.0 m below the surface show a net accumulation rate of around 0.75 cm/y which is relatively slow for a coastal dune. The chronology obtained in this study demonstrates that a significant amount of sediments has been replaced or remobilized in the area over the past 1000 years, and there was at least a soil formation process during the same time period. These suggest that a new approach is necessary to identify the formation age of the so-called paleo-dune at the Sind dunefield.

This paper concerns the Holocene environmental change with vegetational history and sea-level fluctuation at Ilsan area by the analytical data of pollen, sedimentary facies and $C^14$-dating. The hypothetic palaeogeographic maps of the vegetation cover have been reconstructed with the reference to the periods of pollen zone. The environmental characteristics from the pollen zonation have been summerized as follows. 1)Pollenzone I(3.75~5.75m) showed the period of Alnus-and EMW-dominance. The study area was very humid under the influence of the transgression spreading widely from the rapid sea-level rise during the period(8,000~4,200y.BP). 2)Pollen zone II(5.75~6.35m) has been influenced by the fall of the sea-level and ground water surface. This zone(4,200~2,300y.BP) represented the period of spore~ and NAP-dominance with the increase of Pinus. 3) Pollen zone III(6.35~6.55m) has reflected the influence of the transgression and human interferences together. This zone(2,300~1,800y.BP) represented the period of NAP-dominance. The boundary between Subzone Ilb and Pollen zone III represents the same characteristics as what Weber says Grenzhorizont.

The environmental change during the upper Holocene was restored at Kimpo alluvial plain on the left bank of Han-river near the Yellow Sea according to the results of pollen analysis and carbon dating, based on the sea-level change from Ilsan area. Pollenzone I (5.8~7.0 m.a.s.l.) was the period of AP-dominance, including mostly Alnus. Study area was under the lagoon or swamp environment influenced by Flandrian transgression during 5,000~3,200 BP. Pollenzone II (7.0~7.4 m.a.s.l.) was the period of Spore & NAP-dominance. It represents that the vegetational environment was changed to drier condition by falling underwater surface caused by sea-level regression, and influenced by human activity during 3,200~2,300 BP. Subzone I a represented the characteristics of the climax of transgression. During subzone I b, herbs with the dominant Alnus were increased gradually, and it was correlated to the stagnation of high sea-level. Subzone II a was the dominant period of Spore by the gradual falling of sea-level. After that, the study area in swamp was emerged to the lowland by the fallen sea-level and herbs, especially Gramineae increased suddenly during Subzone II b. The sudden increase of NAP such as Artemisia, Chenopodiaceae and Umbelliferae with Gramineae during this period indicates the beginning of agriculture at this study area.

The aims of this study are to clarify the geomorphological development of a alluvial plain and discuss the vegetation environments and agriculture activities in the Wangpo-River alluvial plain at Neungsan-ri, Buyeo by analyzing geomorphological classification, sedimentary facies and age datings. The alluvial plain at Wangpo-River was formed by the influences of Geum-River with the sea-level rising during the Holocene. The basin of Wangpo-River consists of natural levees, back marsh-type alluvial plains, valley plains and hills. The natural levees by Geum-River largely distributes at the area where Wangpo-River flows to Geum-River and the alluvial plains at the middle and lower reach are the back marsh areas of Geum-River. Moreover, the area along Wangpo-River show higher contents of coarse materials and thinner peat sediments than the back marsh. The lower sandy deposits in the alluvium of Wangpo-River was formed with the influences of human in the Bronze Age during the sea level falling and the peaty deposits was formed due to the water level rising of Wangpo-River during the sea level rising in the early Iron Age.

Using a Quaternary sediment sampled from the Gwnahju-cheon various organic carbon analysis have been accomplished. The result helped us to figure out how climate environment has changed through at that time. The analysis outcome, except the analysis of upper section(range of 0 to 50 cm depth), showed that the climate was generally warm and humid at that time. However, even in this result, the climate environment was slight differences, it can be divided into four periods. Period I is from $3,880{\pm}30yr\;BP$ to $3,030{\pm}70yr\;BP$, in which the climate was relatively warm and humid/dry slightly. Period II is from $3,030{\pm}70yr\;BP$ to $2,970{\pm}70yr\;BP$, in which the climate was relatively warmer than period I and the most humid among all period. Period III is from $2,970{\pm}30yr\;BP$ to $2,270{\pm}70yr\;BP$ and refers to the warmest among all periods and also relatively drier/more humid than period I. Period IV which is from $2,270{\pm}70yr\;BP$ to $2,170{\pm}110yr\;BP$ represents the coolest and driest climate compare to other periods, although there is a high possibility of disturbance caused by cultivation activities.
