ABSTRACT

The formation period of the old notches developed in Jeokbyeokgang coast of the Byeonsan peninsula of Korean western coast and the height of sea level of that period were investigated. The relation of old shore platform and present shore platform was also investigated. The old notches of Jeokbyeokgang coast has been formed in the periods of Postgalcial high sea levels which occurred at several times since the ‘climatic optimum’ period. Judging from the height between the base slope of old notch and the ramp of present shore platform, the height of sea level of the formation period of old notches was 1.5 meters higher than that of present sea level. The old notches of Jeokbyeokgang coast are regarded as the remnant features of the old shore platform formed in the periods of Postgalcial high sea levels.
