태백산맥 동사면을 흘러 직접 동해로 유입하는 삼척 오십천의 중.하류부 하안단구는 기후단구와 해면변동단구로 구분된다. 기후단구는 5단이 확인되며, 해면변동단구는 해발고도 145-150m까지 7단의 지형면이 20-30m 간격으로 분포한다. 이와 같은 해면변동단구의 수직적 분포특징은 지반의 지속적인 융기와 기후변화에 의한 빙기와 간빙기의 해면승강작용의 결과이다. 해면변동단구 고고위면은 한반도에서 현재까지 보고된 가장 높은 해안단구보다 해발고도가 더 높다. 해발고도 40m에 분포하는 해면변동단구는 marine oxygen isotope stage 7, 해발고도 70m인 해면변동단구는 stage 9, 해발고도 90m인 해면변동단구는 stage 11, 해발고도 110m 지형면은 stage 13, 해발고도 150m 지형면은 stage 15의 간빙기에 형성된 것으로 추정된다. 중위면, 고위면과 고고위면에는 doline와 함께 uvala와 같은 카르스트지형이 발달하고 있으므로 토지이용과 지형경관이 특징적이다.

In South Korea, marine terraces have been well developed along the eastern coastal zone, and previous researches on the marine terraces have also been focused on to this coastal zone. The marine terraces of the eastern coast of South Korea had been classified into three terrace groups, that is, the higher, middle, and lower surface ones, according to the heights of marine terraces by previous studies(Oh, 1981 ;Chang, 1987 ;Yoon et. al, 1999, 2003 ; Hwang and Yoon, 1996 etc.). Recently, however, it tends to classify the marine terraces based on the concept of geomorphic surface units(Lee, 1987 ; Kim, 1990 ; Choi, S. 2003; Choi S. et. al 2003a,b, etc). For example, it was proposed that the marine terrace surfaces of Eupcheon coast of the southeastern coastal area of Korea could be classified into 16 geomorphic surfaces, i.e., Eupcheon 1terrace(former shoreline height of 160m), 2(153m), 3(140m), 4(130m), 5(124m), 6(115m), 7(100m), 8(92m), 9(82m), 10(71m), 11(62m), 12(53m), 13(43m), 14(35m), 15(18m) and 16(10m) surfaces, in descending order, according to the former shoreline heights(Choi, S, 2003 ; Choi, S. et. al, 2003a,b). Among these terraces, Eupcheon 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 surfaces had not been reported in previous works. Among the above mentioned marine terraces, Eupcheon 15 terrace, the most widely and continuously distributed marine terrace have been identified as marine terrace of the Last Interglacial culmination period(oxygen isotope stage 5e) which was based on amino acid dates(124∼125ka BP) and geomorphological features such as red soil, pollen analysis, fossil cryogenic structures and crossing terrace concept. Eupoheon 15 terrace surfaces have also been proposed as the key surface for the identification and correlation of the so-called '5e' marine terrace in the eastern coast of South Korea. This terrace was reconfirmed as the Last Interglacial culmination period, which was based on the identification of Ata tephra, one of the wide-spread marker tephra which indicates the Last Interglacial culmination period in Japan by Sasaki et. al(2002). It was thought that marine terraces of the eastern coast of South Korea had been formed by the steady-state uplifting during the Quaternary glacio-eustatic sea level changes(Choi, 1997). The uprift rate of 10cm/1,000years had been proposed in the eastern coast of South Korea based on the former shoreline altitude(18m) of the above Eupcheon 15 terrace. Therefore, it can be estimated that Eupcheon 1 terrace had been formed in the early Pleistocene from the above uprift rate. The OSL dating for the samples of Eupcheon 7, 9, 13, 15 and 16 terraces and identification of marker tephra in the terrace deposits are in progress. It is expected that more elaborate chronology on themarine terraces of the eastern coast of South Korea could be established by these absolute dates and marker-tephra.

The Ilkwang Fault is NNE-striking, elongated 40 Km between Ulsan and Haendae-ku, Busan in southeastem part of the Korean Peninsula(Kim, D.H. et al., 1989; Kim, J.S. et al., 2003). This paper is mainly concemed about the ages of the fault activities especially in the Quatemary, infered from classification of geomorphic surface and trench excavation for the construction of Singori nuclear power plant. The geomorphi surfaces are classified into the Beach and the Alluvial plain, the 10 m a.s.l. Marine terrace, the 20 m a.s.l. Marine terrace, the Reworked surface of 45 m a.s.l. Marine terrace and the Low relief erosional surface, from lower to higher altitude. The Beach and the Alluvial plain are elongated to the Holocene terrace(ist terrace, choi, 2003). The 10 m a.s.l. Marine terrace is correlated to 2nd terrace (MIS 5em 125 Ka. y. B.P., Choi, 1998). The 45 m a.s.l. Marine terace is correlated to the Lower marine terrace (MIS 7,220 Ka. y. B.P., Choi, 2003 or MIS 9,320 y. B.P.) to the Gwanganri terrace(Penultimate interglacial age, 200-200 Ka. Y. B.P., Oh, 1981). The Low relief erosional surface is distributed coastal side, the Reworked surface of 45 m a.s.l. Marine terrace inland side by the Ilkwang Fault Line as the boundary line. But the former is above 10 m higher in relative height than the latter. The 20 m a.s.l. Marine terrace on the elongation line of the Ilkwang Fault reveals no dislocation. A site was trenched on the straight contract line with $N30^{\circ}$ E-striking between the 10 m a.s.l. Marine terrace and the 20 m a.s.l. Marine terrace. Fault line or dislocation was not observable in the trench excavation. Accordingly, the straight contact line is inferred as the ancient shoreline of the 10 m a.s.l. Marine terrace. The Ages of the Fault activities are inferred after the formation of the Ichonri Formation - before the formation of the 45 m a.s.l. Marine terrace (220 Ka. y. B.P. or 320 Ka. y. B.P.). The Low relief erosional surface was an island above the sea-level during the formation of the 45 m a.s.l. Marine terrace in the paleogeography.

일광단층은 NNE-SSW 방향으로 한반도 남동부의 울산에서 부산 해운대까지 연장되며 그 길이는 40 Km이다. 본 연구는 신고리 원자력발전소 1,2호기 건설과 관련된 일관단층석의 제4기 활동 여부를 판단하기 위해서, 지형면 분류와 트렌치 조사로 일광단층의 활동시기를 추정한 것이다. 일광역 부근의 해안에서 산록까지는 모래해안 및 충적면, 10m 해성단구면(MIS 5a), 20 m 해상단면(MIS 5e), 45m 해성단구면(MIS 7 or 9)의 변형면, 소기복침식면의 5개 지형면으로 분류된다. 일광단층선을 경계로 기반침식면은 해안 쪽에 분포하는데도 불구하고 내률 쪽의 45m 해성구면의 변형면 보다 비고가 10m 이상 높다. 그러나 동일한 단층선이 지나고 있는 20m 해성단구면은 변위를 나타내지 않는다. 10m 해성단구면과 20 m 해성단구면이 직선적으로 접하는 지대를 트렌치 조사하였으나 단층선이나 퇴적층의 변위를 관찰할 수 없어, 이 지대는 10m 해성단구면의 옛 해안선[구정선(구汀線)]으로 추정한다. 이에 45m 해성단구면 형성기의 고지리(古地理)로는 소기복침식면은 당시의 해수면 보다 높은 '섬' 이였을 것이며, 일광단층은 이천리층 형성 이후-45m 해성단구면 형성기(22만년 내지 32만년 전) 이전에 이루어졌을 것으로 판단한다.

Humans have been important driver to reconfigure the terrestrial surface of the Earth by altering its morphology and processes. The effect of human activities on the physical landscape, however, shows substantially uneven geographical patterns. Most of anthrogemorphoogical studies regarding human-induced denudation have focused on areas with a long history of human modifications such as humid landscapes, so the hypothesis is naturally a great human impact on landscapes. The effect of human activities on dryland Earth surfaces are far less commonly studied, although erosion is one of major concerns in arid and semi-arid region regarding land and water quality degradation. The urban metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona, USA provides an opportunity to explore the impact of the Anthropocene. The Phoenix metropolitan area rests on classic desert landforms, such as extensive pediments, alluvial fans and sand sheets. Human activities including cattle crazing, wildfire resulting from introduced grass species by human, and recent urbanization processes have impacted these classic desert landforms and altered geomorphic processes. The purpose of this paper, therefore, rests in examining Anthropocene in the geomorphology of the north-central Sonoran Desert. The objectives of this paper are: i) to understand the impact of the Anthropocene on the geomorphological processes and forms through field observations; ii) to quantify the magnitude of human impacts on landscape using a published two-decade long record of erosion dataset and natural background erosion dataset in submitted manuscript at the sprawling edge of the Phoenix metropolitan region; iii) to examine how geomorphic outcome can affect the sustainability of cities through the estimation of sediment yield under the condition of urban sprawl.

The geomorphic deformation of the alluvial fans by tectonic movement was investigated along the lineaments of the northem part of the Ulsan(Bulguksa) fault system. Based on the aerial photographs interpretation and field surveys Ulsan fault system was identified as an active reverse fault which has displaced the Quatemary fan deposits. Buguksa fault system strikes for the direction of NW-SE and N-S. These two lineaments of active fault are crossing at Jinty village in Gyeongju city and the fault plane forms here almost vertical dip. The lateral pressures from the two directions have possibly influenced on the formation of the vertical dip at jinty villagy. It should be resulted from that the two pressures responsible for the active reverse fault at which the one with the NW-SE strike thrusts the hanging wall of Tohamsan block southwestward and the other pressure with the N-S strike thrusts it westward over the foot wall of the fan deposits. The marine oxygen isotope stage 8(0.30-0.25 Ma. BP) and stage 6(0.20-0.14 Ma. BP) are presumed to be the ages of high and middle surfaces of the alluvial fan, repectively. The vertical displacements on the high surfaces along the Bulguksa fault system are about 1.05 m at Ha-Dong, 9.5-10.5 m at Jinhyun-Dong, and about 10 m high at Jinty village. And the vertical displacement on the middle surface was measured about 6 m high at Ha-Dong. The average slip rate of vertical displacements is calculated about 0.03-0.43 mm/y.

Timing of terrace formation is a key information for understanding the evolution of fluvial systems. In particular, dating strath terrace (i.e. timing of terrace abandonment) is more difficult than depositional terrace that is conventionally constrained by radiocarbon, OSL and other dating methods targeting samples within terrace deposit. Surface exposure dating utilizing cosmogenic ¹⁰Be provides more reliability because it can be applied directly to the surface of a fluvial terrace. Thus, this method has been increasingly used for alluvial deposits. As well as other geomorphic surfaces over the last decades. Some inherent conditions, however, such as post-depositional ¹⁰Be concentration (i.e. inheritance), surface erosion rate, and density change challenge the application of cosmogenic ¹⁰Be to depositional terrace surface against simple bedrock surface. Here we present the first application of ¹⁰Be depth profile dating to a thin-gravel covered strath terrace in Korea. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) helped us in better constraining the timing of abandonment of the strath terrace, since which its surface stochastically denuded with time, causing unexpected change of ¹⁰Be production with depth. The age of the strath terrace estimated by MCS was 109 ka, ~4% older than the one (104 ka) calculated by simple depth profile dating, which yielded the best-fit surface erosion rate of 2.1 mm/ka. Our study demonstrates that the application of ¹⁰Be depth profile dating of strath terrace using MCS is more robust and reliable because it considers post-depositional change of initial conditions such as erosion rate.

본 연구는 대구광역시 달성군에 위치한 유가 선상지를 대상으로, 지형면의 특성과 퇴적물 분석 및 OSL 연대 측정을 실시하여, 유가 선상지의 형성과정을 구체적으로 설명하였다. 유가 선상지는 3개(YG-F1, YG-F2, YG-F3)의 지형면으로 분류되며, 하도의 경사도 감소가 아니라 좁은 하곡에서 넓은 평지로 흘러나온 유수의 수리기하학적 변화에 의한 퇴적작용으로 형성되었다. 유가 선상지는 지난 최종 간빙기가 시작되면서 침식기준면의 상승으로 퇴적작용이 우세해지면서, 약 11만 년 전(MIS 5.4) 경에, 용리천이 다량의 암설을 퇴적하여 YG-F3 지형면이 형성되었다. 이후, 하곡과 지형면의 삭박이 꾸준히 발생하다가, 최종 빙기 내 아간빙기(MIS 3)가 시작되고, 국지적 및 계절적으로 강수량 및 하천 유량에 변화가 발생하면서, 암설류, 토석류, 이류, 하천류 등에 의해 YG-F2 지형면이 형성되었다. 그 이후에도 단기적인 기후 변화 및 일시적인 기후 사건에 의해 매적과 삭박이 반복적으로 발생하다가, 최종 빙기의 최성기(MIS 2)에 토석류 또는 이류에 의해 YG-F1 지형면이 형성된 것으로 판단된다.
