Abstract The Korea (Tsushima) Strait is an important seaway through which the warm Tsushima Current flows into the East Sea (Japan Sea). A paleogeographic map constrained by a regional sea-level curve developed on the basis of a number of recent 14C radiocarbon dates suggests that the Korea Strait was not closed during the last glacial period. Rather, it was open as a channel-like seaway linking the western North Pacific and the East Sea. Some fraction of the paleo-Tsushima Current inflow… Expand

Holocene evolution of depositional processes off southwest Japan: Response to the Tsushima Warm Current and sea-level rise
Abstract An understanding of the characteristics and evolution of shelf sediments is crucial for reconstructing ancient shelves from stratigraphic records. Oceanic currents have a major influence on… Expand
Sedimentary system response to the global sea level change in the East China Seas since the last glacial maximum
Abstract The East China Seas (ECS) is one of the world's largest continental shelf seas. Based on the combination of global sea level change and sequence stratigraphy, we systematically investigated… Expand
Paleo-Tsushima Water and its effect on surface water properties in the East Sea during the last glacial maximum : Revisited
Abstract The semi-enclosed deep marginal East Sea is known by limited sill flow and low sea-surface salinity during the last glacial maximum (LGM) when sea level was about 130 m lower than the… Expand
Sea level at the last glacial maximum, constrained by oxygen isotopic curves of planktonic foraminifera in the Japan Sea
The Japan Sea is connected with the Okhotsk Sea and Northwest Pacific through three straits, viz. Mamiya (Tartarskiy), Soya and Tsugaru, and with the East China Sea through Tsushima Strait, all… Expand
Late Quaternary sediments on the outer shelf of the Korea Strait and their paleoceanographic implications
Sedimentological and micropaleontological characteristics of core sediments from the outer shelf of the Korea Strait, which connects the northern East China Sea and the East Sea (Sea of Japan), were… Expand
Paleoenvironmental changes and depositional history of the Korea (Tsushima) Strait since the LGM
Abstract Two deep cores (SSDP 102 and SSDP 105) from the southeastern inner shelves of Korea were examined in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental history of the Korea Strait during… Expand
Freshwater supply by Korean rivers to the East Sea during the last glacial maximum: a review and new evidence from the Korea Strait region
This study presents a review of extensive literature and reports new findings extracted from previously collected cores. Globally lowered sea level during the last glacial maximum (LGM) reduced the… Expand
Holocene sedimentation in the Hupo Trough of the southwestern East Sea (Japan Sea) and development of the East Korea Warm Current
Various sediment properties, such as mean grain size, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, C/N ratio, CaCO3, and biogenic opal content, were analyzed for a box core (BC02; 45 cm long) and a gravity… Expand
Stratigraphic evolution of the Nakdong River valley in response to late Quaternary sea-level changes
Abstract Sequence analysis using borehole samples and high-resolution seismic data in the Nakdong River valley yielded a good example of a river-valley sequence influenced by the complex interplay… Expand
Transgressive sand ridges on the mid-shelf of the southern sea of Korea (Korea Strait): formation and development in high-energy environments
Abstract The mid-shelf of the southern sea of Korea (Korea Strait) is covered by a series of shore-parallel sand ridges up to 63 km long, 3–9 km wide, and 22 m thick. The ridges are a moribund type… Expand
