Quaternary faults found around the Ulsan Fault System can be divided into 4 types based on the fault outcrop features : Type I fault cuts basements and Quaternary deposits of which remain on both hangwall and footwall. Type II fault is developed only in Quaternary deposit. Type III fault has inclined unconformity after Quaternary faulting. Type IV fault is common type around the Ulsan fault system and has horizontal unconformity surface after cutting earlier Quaternary deposit. After erosion, later Quaternary deposit overlays on both old deposit and basement. The Ulsan Fault System consists of three segments at large scale from north to south based on the lineament rank and shape, Quaternary fault location, and slip rate. The segment boundaries are identified by the existence of the two intervals which show no lineaments and Quaternary faults. But, if detail fault parameters could be obtained and used in segmentation, it can be divided into more than three segments.

Dissected erosional surfaces are widely distributed in the western part of Korea (e.g. Icheon, Chungju, Jecheon, Seosan). The deposits with thickness of less than 2m occur on the smooth bedrock surface are composed of poorly sorted subangular gravels with less than 20cm diameter. However, only weathered mantle of granites without the gravel layer are observed at some outcrops. The results of grain size analysis of deposits of Icheon district revealed that the characteristic of the gain size distribution is very similar with the results of sheetflood deposits presented by Blair (1999) in the Death Valley. Loess layer with buried soil layers of MIS7 covers the sheetflood deposits. The loess layer implies that the sheetflood deposits occurred before MIS7 based on the typical Loess sequences presented by Naruse et al.(2003). On the other hand, the climate of Korean Peninsula in MIS2 was very dry and cold (Yoon and Hwnag, 2003) by pollen analysis. This is because Yellow Sea was completely emerged during the MIS2(e.g. Sau\ito, 1998). So, it is thought that the climate in Korean Peninsula of not only MIS2 but also other glacial ages such as MIS8 was similar with present Mongolian climates. Tanaka et al.(2005) pointed out that Hortonian overlandflow occurs in grass vegetated granite basin in Mongolia. Therefore, dissected piedmont gentle slopes in the western Korea were possibly formed by sheetflood erosion during probably MIS8 as pediment widely distributed in Mongolia.

한반도의 제4기 지층을 암층서 및 단구층서를 기준으로 전기, 증기 및 후기 플라이 스토신 지층(Ear-ly Middle late Pleistocene Deposits)으로구분할 수 있다. 제 3기와 제4기 의 경계는 고지자기층서 해석에 의하여 한반도에서는 Gauss와 Matuyama chron 경계인 약 2.6Ma를 기준으로 설정할수 있다. 전기 플라이스토신 지층(Early Pleistocene Deposits)은 지형고도상 조구조 운동이 배제된 지역에서는 80m 이하에서의 계곡 사이에서 나타난다. 증 기 플라이스토신 지층(Middle Pleistocene Deposits)은 약0.8Ma부터 약 125ka까지이다. 중기 플라이스토신은 제4기 초깁터 발달하기 시작하였던 주요 계곡들이 현재와 비슷한 형태로 넓 고 깊어지기 시작했던 시기이다. 하천과 해안에는 일련의 단구지형을 잘발달시키지 시작했 고 단구이 형성은 현재보다 해수면이 더 높았던 마지막간빙기까지 계속되었다. 후기 플라이 스토신 지층(late Pleistocene Deposits)은 약 125Ka부터 10Ka까지이며 마지막 간빙기(Last Inter-glacial)와 마지막빙하기(Last Glacial)가 포함된다, 마지막간빙기 동안에는 제 2 하안 및 제 2 해안단구역층이 잘 발달하여 있다 마지막 빙하기 동안에는 해수면의 하강이 극심했 으며 특히 산사면에서 지형경사면을 따라 하부이동된 사면붕적층이 한반도의 전역에 널리 발달했던 시기였다.

서해 경기만 조석사주에서 획득한 고해상도 탄성파 탐사자료와 해상시추코어 분석에 의하면 연구지역의 제 4기 후기에 형성된 퇴적층은 총 4개의 퇴적단위(상부층부터 Unit I에서 Unit IV)로 구성된다. 퇴적단위 I은 조간대 및 조수로-충진 퇴적체로서, 홀로세 고해수면 시기동안 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 퇴적단위 II는 천해 퇴적상이 나타나는 외해역과 하천과 연계된 하성 퇴적상이 나타나는 조간대에서 조석사주 근접부로 나누어진다. 퇴적단위 III은 조석작용에 의한 조간대 퇴적환경 및 상부의 풍화된 퇴적층으로 각각 구분되며, 퇴적층은 산소동위원소 시기5동안 퇴적된 것으로 판단된다. 퇴적단위 IV는 조석사주 퇴적층의 최하부층으로 중생대 기반암 또는 산소동위원소 시기 5 이전에 퇴적된 층으로 해석된다.

동해 울릉분지에서 취득된 2차원 다중채널 탄성파 탐사자료의 해석에 의하면, 연구지역에 분포하는 제 4기 퇴적층은 침식부정합면에 의해 4개의 층서단위로 구분된다. 각 층서단위는 서로 다른 특징을 갖는 18개의 질량류 퇴적체로 구성된다. 탄성파 단면상에서 질량류 퇴적체는 캐오틱 혹은 투명한 음향상 특징을 보이며, 쐐기 혹은 렌즈상의 외부형태를 가진다. 질량류 퇴적체는 주로 울릉분지 남쪽사면 일대에 중첩되어 분포하며, 분지중앙으로 향하면서 층후가 얇아지는 경향을 보인다. 시간구조도에 의하면 연구지역의 중앙에는 주변보다 융기된 지형과 북서 및 북동방향의 저지대가 발달한다. 등시층후도에 의하면 연구지역의 남쪽으로부터 기원한 질량류 퇴적체는 사면을 따라 분지중앙으로 유입되었으며, 지구조운동으로 형성된 융기지형에 의해 두 방향으로 분리되어 발달하였다. 결과적으로 울릉분지에 분포하는 제 4기 질량류 퇴적체의 발달은 다량의 퇴적물 공급, 저해수면시기 동안의 가스하이드레이트 해리, 중앙부에 위치한 융기지형 등의 요인에 의해 크게 조절되었다.

It is generally well known that Quaternary is characteristic geologically in terms of glacial and interglacial repeats and their associated unconformity formation. This paper deals with the first finding of the characteristic and significant meaningful unconformity between Holocene and late Pleistocene, which implies submergence and emergence of the tidal sedimentary basin along the western coastal zone of Korea during interglacial stage(IOS-5e) and glacial time(IOS-2). The stratigraphy of intertidal deposits in the Haenam Bay, western coast of Korea shows two depositional sequence units (Unit I of Holocene and Unit II of late Pleistocene) bounded by an erosional surface of disconformity. The disconformity is related to the latest Pleistocene sea-level lowstands (probably during the LGM). The Unit II is interpreted as intertidal deposit showing tidal sedimentary structures and crab burrow ichnology and has two parts (the upper part and the lower part) showing different lithology and character. The upper part of Unit II shows characteristic subaerial exposure features (emergence) and its related lithology. Such subaerially exposed upper part (more or less 4m to 5m in thickness) is characterized by yellow-brownish sediment color, cryoturbat-ed structure, crab burrow ichnofacies and high value of shear strength. Geochemical and clay mineral analyses of the upper part sediments also indicate subaerial exposure and weathering. In particular, very high value of magnetic susceptibility of the upper part in comparison to that of the lower part is interpreted as pedogenetic weathering during the subaerial exposure period.

The source regions of Asian Dusts (Yellow Sands) in the western part of China are investigated, and the soil samples are collected samples for approximately 15 days during the spring of 2005. Particle sizes of sediments are analyzed and compared with each other. These grain-size analyses from the source areas can be compared Particle sizes between loess deposits and desert sands in western part of China and desert areas show distinctive differences. Loess deposits are predominantly composed of fine sands and silts. The distinction between the final characteristics of Asian Dust particles arrived in Korea and characteristics during transportation can be recognized comparison with the Asian Dust particles collected where the dust particles settled down. The characteristics of Asian Dust particle sizes can provide the basic information regarding the transportation history from the source region.

Pollen and spores as well as their morphological characteristics are biological stability materials in which contains historical information about vegetation and climate changes. As noted researcher Neishtadt in 1971, the lake and swamp deposits were developed only in Holocene period. The geological history of Darkhad depression which is situated in the Northern end of Mongolia from ancient time become under scientific interest of many researchers. Our investigation was focused on pollen analysis of lake sediment of Darkhad depression which caused bottom of paleolake. In Mongolia the palynology science is beginning to develop since 1990 and in 2000 the laboratory of palynology was established at the department of Biology, State Pedagogical University of Mongolia. Researchers from this laboratory working on pollen morphology of present flora in order to classify plants taxonomy. Another part of our investigation is mellitopalynology, which is studying of pollen grains in a honey. Although, this research has been extending by pollen analysis of sediment and lake deposits in past few years on the basis of high sensitive microscope and modem technology.
