The ultimate goal is to understand the creation of the preserved stratigraphic record, the bedform formation, and its modification on the eastern North Korea continental shelf, slope and adjacent areas as the product of geologic, biologic, and oceanographic processes with both spatial and temporal heterogeneities. The emphasis is on the most upper sediments and the Late Pleistocene - Holocene period of Earth history. Prepared in collaboration with the International Arctic Research Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
