Geology and Sedimentology of the Korean Peninsula

About this book

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 to provide answers to depositional processes and environmental changes through the Earth's history, including tectonic events, climate changes, and sea-level fluctuations.

Geology and Sedimentology of the Korean Peninsula is one of the first books covering the geology of the Korean peninsula. It offers an in-depth exploration of this region, which also allows comparison with sedimentary basins around the world. This is an important book for students, researchers, and professionals working in the geography of East Asia. The study of sedimentary basins can help advance basic understanding of how the Earth's crust developed, as well as offer insights into the influence of environmental and climate change. Sedimentary basins are also of interest due to their importance in the exploration and recovery of natural resources, including oil and gas, water, and industrial minerals.

Geology and Sedimentology of the Korean Peninsula provides fundamental information on the geology of East Asia. It serves as a guide for integrated sedimentary basin analysis, providing a detailed aid for comparative research. It contains over 200 figures to illustrate the analysis.
