The lower marine terrace 1 and 2 surfaces distributed between Ulsan and Pohang coast in the southeastern coast of the Korean penninsula have been correlated with MIS 5e and 5a (or 5c) by amino acid dates, 14C dates, wide-spread tephra correlation and pollen analysis respectively. In this study, to test the reliability of the OSL method for the estimation of the numerical burial age of marine sediment deposits, we analyzed the samples from the marine terraces which have been known as typical marine terraces formed during MIS 5e and MIS 5a in the above-mentioned coast. The burial ages of the marine deposit of the lower marine terrace 1 and 2, with paleoshoreline altitudes of 18m to 19m and 10m to 11m respectively, both showed about the same age of 60 ka BP. The lower marine terraces 1 and 2, however, were divided into two terrace surfaces by a clear terrace cliff. Besides, the OSL dates of the lower and upper parts of the lower marine terrace 2 of the Bonggil coast showed the reversed burial ages. In the lower marine terrace 1 of the Sanhari coast, almost the same burial ages were derived from both the lower part (marine rounded gravel layer) and the upper part (terrestrial angular gravel layer) of the terrace deposit. Therefore, at the present time, judging from only the OSL dates measured in this study, it could be argued that the OSL method is not the best for the estimation of forming periods of the lower marine terraces 1 and 2 and their classification.

제4기 후기에 있어서도 지반의 지속적인 융기가 진행되고 있는 것으로 보이는 한국 의 동해안에 있어서는, 어느 한 간빙기 해성면의 동정이 이루어질 경우, 이 지형면을 시간기 준면으로 한 제4기 해성면 전체의 대비와 편년도 가능하다고 생각된다. 한국의 동해안에 있 어서 시간기준면으로 이용 될 수 있는 지형면은, 단구면과 퇴적물의 특징이 가장 잘 보존되 어 있을 것으로 보이는 최종간빙기의 해수면이라고 생각된다. 본고에서는 한반도의 중부 동 해안에 있어서 최종간빙기의 해수면을 확정하기 위한 작업의 일환으로, 단구면의 구정선고 도, 단구퇴적물의 특징, 그리고 고토양 및 화석 주빙하결빙구조 등을 지표로, 묵호-강릉해안 에 분포하는 저위해성단구의 대비와 상대편년을 시도하였다. 연구의 결과, 저위해성단구 I면 은 최종간빙기 극상기(산소 동위체 스테이지 5e), 그리고 II면은 최종간빙기의 중반(5c) 혹은 후기(5a)의 지형면으로 편년되었다. 이는 최종간빙기의 해성면을 I면 밖에 인정하지 않은 기 존의 연구결과와 다른 점으로서, 추후 이에 대한 상세한 검토가 요청된다. 저위해성단구 I면 과 II면의 구정선고도는 각각 18m, 10m이며, 이중에서도 저위해성단구 I면은 분포의 보편성 으로 보아 한국 동해안의 제4기 지사편집시 시간기준면으로서의 이용가치가 크다고 생각된 다.

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.

The Yeongdeok 53m marine terrace (Y₅₃mT), Y₄₃mT, Y₃₃mT, Y₂₄mT, Y₁₉mT and Y₁₁mT distributed along the Yeongdeok coast, southeastern Korean Peninsula are well compared with the thalassostatic terraces of the high terrace 1 (ℓHT₁ ; 51m of the relative heights from the river floor), high terrace 2 (ℓHT₂ ; 43m), middle terrace 1 (ℓMT₁ ; 32m), middle terrace 2 (ℓMT₂ ; 25m), lower terrace 1 (ℓLT₁ ; 18m) and lower terrace 2 (ℓLT₂ ; 10m) respectively, developed along the lower reaches of the Chucksan-cheon and Obo-cheon rivers, judging from the comparison of paleosols (red soils) between the above marine and thalassostatic terraces. Using the Y₁₉mT of the MIS 5e as the key surface, we propose that the terraces of the Y₅₃mT and ℓHT₁, Y₄₃mT and ℓHT₂, T₃₃mT and ℓMT₁, Y₂₄mT and ℓMT₂, Y₁₉mT and ℓLT₁, and Y₁₁mT and ℓLT₂ have been formed at the MIS 11, 9, 7e and 7a (or 7a), 5e and 5a respectively. The red soils have been developed at the Y₁₉mT and ℓLT₁ and above them, but not on the Y₁₁mT and ℓLT₂ surfaces.

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 formation age and depositional environment of the marine terrace I of the estimated paleoshoreline altitude of 18m in Sanhari of Ulsan coast, southeastern Korea were investigated on the basis of examination of lithofacies and stratigraphy of terrace deposits. Marine deposits of the terrace is composed of rounded boulders(70cm in diameter) and rounded pebbles(1.0cm in diameter) which overlay them. The above rounded boulders which lie on the paleo-shore platform are considered to have been formed by wave abrasion in the same period that the paleo-shore platform was developed. The rounded pebbles which lie on the rounded boulder layer are considered to have been deposited in gravel beach and berm environment, judging from the laminae developed in this layer. The paleo-shore platform and marine rounded gravel layer of the terrace are assumed to have been formed in the large transgression period of the Last Interglacial culmination stage(MIS 5e), judging from the comparision of the formation age of 125ka B.P. of Juckcheon terrace I in the adjacent Pohang coast which was dated by amino acid dating. The terrestrial deposit of this terrace was largely composed of angular and subangular gravel mixed with marine rounded pebble which has been carried away mainly from the deposit of previous marine terraces and redeposited in this terrace. The lowest peat layer of terrastrial deposit was considered to have been deposited during the period from the late MIS 5e which is the estimated finishing time of deposition of the above marine gravels to the early stage of following regression period(MIS 5d) in which the sea level was still high. The sediments of angular and subangular gravel deposit which lie on this peat layer were assumed to have been deposited during the period from the early stage of the first regression period(MIS 5d) of the Last Interglacial to the Last Glacial. The lower part of the angular gravel layer is composed of the deposits of the fluvial and colluvial sediments, whereas most of the upper and middle part of the layer is mainly composed of angular gravels of colluvial sediments formed in the cold environment.

경주시 양남면의 해안단구퇴적층에 풍부히 함유된 혼펠스 자갈의 풍화작용을 X선회절분석, 주사전자현미경관찰, 화학분석을 이용하여 조사하였다. 분석결과, 혼펠스 자갈 풍화 초기에 사장석이 가장 먼저 용탈되어 공극을 형성하며, 그 후 풍화가 진행됨에 따라 흑운모는 흑운모-버미큘라이트 혼합층(hydrobiotite)으로 그리고 녹니석은 녹니석-버미클라이트 혼합층 광물로 변질되며, 사장석의 풍화산물로 할로이사이트가 부분적으로 침전되었다. 그러나 석영과 K장석은 거의 변질되지 않았다. 단구의 고도 차이에 따른 풍화각 두께와 생성되는 광물종의 차이가 인지되었다. 하부의 제2단구에서는 대체로 사장석의 약한 풍화작용이 주를 이루고 흑운모와 녹니석의 풍화작용은 관찰되지 않았으나, 상부의 제3단구에서는 사장석의 심한 풍화작용과 함께 흑운모와 녹니석이 혼합층으로 풍화되었다. 그러나 동일 단구퇴적층내에서도 풍화각 두께와 생성되는 광물종의 변화가 있으며, 이는 국지적인 지형변화에 따른 배수조건의 차이에 기인한 것으로 보인다.

The pollen analysis on the deposits of the lower marine terrace I of the estimated paleoshoreline height of 18m was performed in order to estimate the formation age of this terrace developed at the Sanha-dong coast, Ulsan, southeastern coast of the Korean peninsula. The pollen assemblage of the peat layer of SH-1 pollen zone (Quercus-Ulmus/Zelkova zone), lying directly on the marine rounded pebble layer of this terrace, shows that the climatic environment of the deposition period of SH-1 pollen zone was almost similar to that of the Postglacial climatic optimum period, but slightly cooler than that of the late warm stage of Last Interglacial(MIS 5a) in the eastern coast of Korea. This heightens the possibility that the deposition period of the marine rounded pebble layer which was covered by the above SH-1 peat layer is the MIS 5e which has been estimated by a previous study of the sedimentary facies of this terrace deposits (Choi, 2016). The pollen assemblage of SH-2 pollen zone (Pinus-Quercus zone) shows that the climate of this period was almost similar to that of the late Postglacial, but slightly cooler than that of the period of SH-1 pollen zone. This means that the climate around the Sanha-dong was still warmer in the deposition period of the peat layer of SH-2 pollen zone. Thus, the peat layer of SH-2 pollen zone was considered to have been deposited during the period from the early regression stage of the MIS 5d which is the estimated final stage in the deposition period of the above peat layer of SH-1 pollen zone to any stage in which the warmer environment of MIS 5 has still lasted. The humic silt layer of SH-3 pollen zone (Pinus-Ulmus/Zelkova-Abies zone) is assumed to have been deposited during the interstadial of the Last Glacial (MIS 3).

이 논문에서는 경주시 양남면에 분포하는 해발고도 약 45 m의 수렴단층 노두 해안단구 퇴적층의 형성시기를 추정하기 위하여, 퇴적층을 구성하고 있는 석영에 대한 단일입자 OSL(Single Grain Optically Stimulated Luminescence) 연대측정을 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 총 1200개의 석영입자 중, 93개의 입자가 연대측정에 적합한 OSL 신호특성을 보였으며, 이들의 등가선량은 50-610 Gy까지 넓은 분포를 보인다. 이 자료를 중심연대모델(Central Age Model)과 최소연대모델(Minimum Age Model)을 이용하여 분석하면, 각각 $83{\pm}4ka$와 $60^{+3}{_{-7}}ka$의 연대가 도출되지만, 이들 연대는 MIS 5a시기로 보고된 기존의 제2해안단구의 OSL 연대와 층서적으로 불일치한다. 단일입자 OSL 분석결과들을 혼합연대모델(Finite Mixture Model)에 적용하면, 분석된 입자들 중 $6{\pm}4%$의 석영입자가 MIS 7의 퇴적시기 $194{\pm}24ka$)를 지시함을 알 수 있다. 결론적으로, 수렴단층 노두 해안단구 퇴적층이 MIS 7 시기에 형성되었을 가능성을 배제할 수 없으며, 이 퇴적층은 일반적으로 적용되는 다입자 OSL(multiple grain OSL) 연대측정법을 적용하기에 적합하지 않은 시료로 판단된다.

우리나라 남동해안의 최남단 지역에서는 지금까지 안정된 지괴로 알려져 왔으며 4기단층이나 지진 발생 보고가 알려져 있지 않다. 이 연구는 우리나라 최초로 시행된 디지털(digital) 기법에 의한 단구조사와 단열조사를 통하여 이 지역에 대한 제 4기 지구조운동 여부를 규명하고자 하였다. 조사지역의 기반암은 백악기의 퇴적암류와 화산암류 및 불국사 화강암류로 구성되어 있다. 이 지역에는 매우 협소하고 간헐적인 분포를 하는 해안단구가 발달하고 있으며 타지역과는 달리 단구 퇴적물이 거의 발달하지 않고 있는 점이 특징이다. 이 지역에는 최하위의 홀로세 단구를 포함하여 4개의 단구면이 형성되어 있으며, 이들은 최하위의 것부터 1, 2, 3, 4 단구로 분류된다. 1단구의 구정선은 1m 이하, 2단구의 구정선은 8∼11m, 3단구의 구정선은 17∼22m, 4단구의 구정선은 약 44m이다. 2단구의 형성시기는 MIS 5a이고 이 곳의 3단구 형성시기는 MIS 5c이다. 단구 형성시기와 융기된 단구 고도간의 상관관계 그래프와 고해 수면 변동곡선과 단구고도간의 대비에 의하여 산출된 융기율은 0.19m/ky이다. 이와 같은 값은 판 경계부보다 활동성이 적은 판 내부에서 나타나는 값으로 우리나라의 남동해안의 지각은 대체로 안정된 지괴로 판명된다. 그러나, 각 단구의 구정선 고도는 매우 미약하지만 점이적으로 남쪽으로 가면서 감소하는 현상을 보이고 있어 우리나라의 남동해안의 남단부에는 침강운동이 일어나고 있는 것으로 해석된다.
