Wetlandsis developing on the lava plateau in Eundae-ri, even though there are no majorstreams into this area. As a result of drilling, 1~2m clay layer is founded under the superficial formations of the wetland, which are the main reasons for formation of the wetlands by limiting vertical drainage. The clay layer's Granulometry/XRD show very different characteristics from in situ weathering of basalt, and since 2~3cm of sand layer exist within the profile, the clay layer seems to be supplied and deposited from outside through surface/sheet flows. To keep the wetlands sustainably, the supply of water into the wetlands has to be increased by restoring the surface/sheet flow which is limited or deformed by pavement road.

The drainage area of the Miho stream is composed of granitic basins, gneissic and sedimentary mountains. 80 percent of the Miho stream flows through the Jincheon basin and the Cheongju inner-plain within the Daebo granite belt. Because the deep weathering of granitic hills provides a large amount of sands to the streams, there are wide floodplains with thick alluvium developed in the basin and plain. The thickness of the alluvium is 5~10m and the width of the floodplains is 2~2.5km. In the basin outlet area where a stream passes through the mountain canyon, wide floodplains and deep alluvium are developed in other riverside. The Miho stream is a sand-gravel channel flowing through the Cheongju inner-plain with wide floodplains and deep alluvium formed by deep weathering of granite.

Coastal dunes play an important role in coastal defense. The Moraeul dune in Daecheongdo Island is representative in this regard. However, there is little knowledge, concerning the morphology, grain size, and formation timing of the dune. This study investigated the geomorphological characteristics of the Moraeul dune using topographic surveys, grain size analyses, and OSL dating. The dune was classified as 'single accreted foredune', which was developed under dense vegetation cover and efficient sand trapping. The dune consisted of fine to medium sand with 1.6Φ of mean grain size, and was covered with pine trees (> 100 years old). The samples from the upper part of the dune yielded quartz OSL ages ranging 0.5 ~ 0.7 ka. Therefore, it is likely that the dune developed at least before the Little Ice Age and became what it is today about one century ago.

In this study, geomorphological and geological research has been carried out to estimate the possibility of ancient port location near Hwaseong Dangseong. Geomorphological characteristics around Eunsupo were analyzed through comparison of past and present topographic maps and field survey. Grain size, age dating, and geochemical analysis on surface sediments and borehole sediments were performed. Through the geomorphological characteristics analysis, it was interpreted that Eunsupo area was submerged in seawater especially at high tide in the past, and that ships could approach to the inside of the area through the tidal channel which were developed in the area. It is also assumed that ships were anchored at a low elevation point in the area. The paleo-environmental change in the area was analyzed based on the classification of sedimentary environment using grain size distribution of surface and borehole sediments and geochemical analysis. It was confirmed that the geomorphological interpretation for the possibility of ancient port location coincided well with the paleo-environmental change interpreted through sediment analysis. This study is a basic study for estimating ancient port location, and it is expected that more accurate paleo-environmental changes will be restored through detailed geomorphological survey and additional borehole analysis in the future research.

This study aims to analyze geomorphologically Jaein Falls in Hantangang Lava Plateau for the landform structure, landform classification, falls dissection and recession. The height and recession length of the Falls are approximately 18m and 340m. after dissection valley arrive at area of the Jijangbong Volcanic Rock Complex of Mesozoic era, the fall will disappear. The structure of the dissection valley shows totally well vertical columnar joint near falls and plunge pool, colluvial talus deposits toward lower reach by the freezing-thawing and wet-dry activities, and alluvial cone and delta in estuary to Hantangang River. The Falls' age date and recession rate in the valley maybe relate to the age of the lava plateau. The estimated recession rate of the fall should be 8.75m/ka to 2.3m/ka, depending on the age 500ka to 40ka in lava plateau.

The coast of BiIn Bay, Seocheon, is the potential site for the field-trip learning program. This article is written in the viewpoint of geographical and environmental education. In this study, it is tried to describe geomorphological landscapes of BiIn Bay Seocheon-gun relating with it's physiognomy, based on the Dasa-ri and Songrim-ri coastal sanddunes and the like. Although landforms like tidal flats and rock cliff constitute prominent landscape features in this area, other features such as beaches, coastal dunes, and coastal plains have various ramifications for human communities. Tidal flats, beaches and coastal dunes are formed by the combined actions of longshore current, tidal flows, waves and winds. To some extent, the erosion of sandy coast has been a global phenomenon. Anthropogenic impacts are involved in the transformation of landform. Most favorable field-trip course of BiIn Bay is from Songrim-ri through Dasa-ri and Shinhap-ri to Maryang-ri. This program about coastal landforms in BiIn Bay will contribute not only for educational meanings but also for satisfying the student' curiosity and interest. Also, this field-trip learning program will be suitable for over 4th grade elementary school students and middle school students.

본 연구는 환경부의 전국자연환경조사를 통하여 수집된 비무장지대와 그 인접 지역의 지형분야 조사의 결과를 분석하고, 활용 방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 조사된 총 356개의 지형 중 가장 많이 관찰된 지형은 하안단구였으며, 전체 지형 중 1 등급은 57개(16.01%)로 나타났다. 본 지형 조사는 북방한계선까지 접근하여 비무장지대 및 그 인접 지역의 지형을 파악하는데 큰 의의가 있다. 이러한 비무장지대 및 그 인접지역의 지형경관은 비무장지대라는 세계에서 유일한 공간적 특성과 함께 유네스코에서 지정하는 지오파크로 활용될 수 있는 가능성이 매우 높다.

This study investigated the cases of relative location, especially focused on the geomorphological situation, for the conceptualization of the location knowledge. In order to perform this study, first of all, I approached meaning of location. In this study I used the terms 'site' and 'situation'. 'Site' as used here means the location of a given place with its local internal features or resources. 'Situation' refers to the location of place as related to other places. As to location, no place exists in isolation. Therefore, it is necessary to look beyond the internal nature of the area itself to perceive its external relations with other areas. The examples of geomorphological situation were focused on the scale linkage of the examples, the interaction between elements of earth surface processes, and the method of comparative region. The regions of examples were the landscape of Mt. Hymalaya to Bengal deep sea fan, the climatical difference of continental east and west, the landscape of Mt. Geum & Sangju beach, the landscape of the south and north face of Mt. Mai., Hamjibaakgol asymmetrical valley, and the landscape of inland sea and outer sea type island.

동천구곡은 자연지형과 인간 심성활동의 결합체이다. 본 논문은 동천구곡의 장소성과 경관 이미지를 구성하는 기본요소인 지형경관의 특성에 대하여 조사 확인한 결과를 정리한 것이다. 우리나라 동천구곡은 주로 태백산맥과 소백산맥의 산지 지역에 주로 입지 분포하며, 이는 인근에 위치한 양반의 계거촌과 관련이 있다. 동천구곡이 자리 잡은 지역의 기반암 특성이 지형경관 특성에 크게 영향을 미치는데, 우리나라에서는 화강암과 퇴적암 경관이 이를 가장 대표한다. 우리나라 동천구곡은 산지 내부를 흐르는 곡류하도에 주로 입지하여, 곡류하도 주변에 나타나는 다양한 지형요소들이 주요 경관을 이루고 있다. 이러한 주요 지형요소로는 봉우리, 소규모 평탄면, 토르, 수직절벽, 폭포, 여울, 소, 포인트바, 그리고 너럭바위, 거력, 암설사력퇴, 마식된 암반하상과 포트홀 등이 있다. 이를 동천구곡에서는 대(臺) 암(巖) 봉(峰) 벽(璧) 벼리(遷) 학(壑) 반석(盤石) 천(泉) 폭(瀑) 담(潭) 연(淵) 추(湫) 소(沼) 천(川) 탄(灘) 등으로 칭한다.

From the results of the CIA analysis (A-CN-K and A-CNK-FM ternary diagram), we concluded that granitic grus experienced low chemical alteration and contains plenty of sandy material The chemical alteration of Geochang and Gajo Basin advanced further than that of Yeongju-Bonghwa basin, but does not come to spatial differentiation as Chuncheon Basin. The weathered mantles of inner hills in the basin exhibit very weak alteration, and there is little spatial differentiation of chemical alteration between footslope of mountains, footslope hills. Most of hills are still in incipient weathering stage and have plenty of sandy materials. Therefore the chemical characteristics of granitic hills in Geochang and Gajo basin show that granitic weathered mantles are not saprolite formed by alteration but may be just grus (sandy weathered mantles).
