Abstract:On the southeastern continental shelf of Korea, within the Korea Strait Shelf Mud deposit, seafloor undulations trending north-northwest‒south-southwest have been identified offshore of Ulsan. This study utilized multibeam echo sounding, two- and three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution CHIRP seismic surveys, and piston core analysis to investigate the formation and timing of these undulations on the muddy continental shelf. The multibeam data revealed irregular seafloor undulations aligned with the bathymetric … Show more
