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 …

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

Plate motion and associated tectonics explain the location of magmatic systems along plate
boundaries [1], however, they cannot give satisfactory explanations of the origin of intra …

Traction carpets are highly concentrated bedload layers that are developed beneath and
driven by turbulent overlying flows. They have a" convex-up" velocity profile and comprise a …

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 …

Hydrovolcanism is a type of volcanism where magma and water interact either explosively or
non-explosively. The less frequently used term, hydromagmatism, includes all the processes …

Written by one of Korea's most respected earth scientists, Geology and Sedimentology of the
Korean Peninsula analyzes sedimentary facies, basin evolution, and sequence stratigraphy …

The Permian marks an important, yet poorly understood, tectonic transition in the Tian Shan
region of northwestern China between Devonian–Carboniferous continental amalgamation …
