This review focuses on the tectonics and sedimentation of major sedimentary basins and
orogenic belts (Late Proterozoic–Neogene) in the Korean peninsula. The Korean peninsula …

Maar-diatreme volcanoes are produced by explosive eruptions that cut deeply into the
country rock. A maar is the crater cut into the ground and surrounded by an ejecta ring, while …

Ignimbrites are vast, landscape-modifying deposits composed mainly of pumice fragments
and ash. They derive from the most. hazardous types of explosive volcanic eruptions and …

This review and personal account of basaltic volcanism concentrates on the geological
aspects and physical controls, unlike most others which concentrate on geochemistry. It …

Small-scale volcanic systems are the most widespread type of volcanism on Earth and occur
in all of the main tectonic settings. Most commonly, these systems erupt basaltic magmas …

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are mixtures of two components, namely solid particles
and fluid (gas) phase. They macroscopically behave as dense, multiphase gravity currents …

High-speed, gravity-driven flows of hot particles and gas are a common and highly
destructive product of explosive volcanism. They range widely in nature from expanded …

Volcaniclastic sediments, broadly defined as clastic deposits derived from the transport,
deposition and/or redeposition of the products of volcanic activity, have long been a …

Tremendous progress has been made in the geological understanding of the Korean seas
with the advances in sophisticated exploration techniques, specifically in the areas of marine …

Remnants of an extensive maar-diatreme volcanic field are magnificently exposed at various
depths of erosion in the Hopi Buttes volcanic field of northeastern Arizona. Field and …
