Open AccessTerrestrial biome distribution in the Late Neogene inferred from a black carbon record in the northeastern equatorial Pacific
The appearance and expansion of C4 plants in the Late Cenozoic was a dramatic example of terrestrial ecological change. The fire hypothesis, which suggests fire as a major cause of C4 grassland is gaining support...

K-Ar dating of illites for time constraint on tectonic burial metamorphism of the Jurassic Nampo Group (West Korea)
The timing of tectonic burial metamorphism of the early Mesozoic Nampo Group (western Korea) related to the Jurassic Daebo orogeny was first constrained by K-Ar dating of illite in sedimentary rocks. Two shale...

Comparison of radiocarbon and OSL dating methods for a Late Quaternary sediment core from Lake Ulaan, Mongolia
Both radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating methods were applied to test their suitability for establishing a chronology of arid-zone lacustrine sediments using a 5.88-m-long core drill...

Core-based reconstruction of paleoenvironmental conditions in the southern Drake Passage (West Antarctica) over the last 150 ka
A deep-sea sediment core (GC98-06) from the southernmost Drake Passage, West Antarctica, shows late Quaternary depositional environments distinctly different from sedimentary drifts commonly found along the so...

Eruption age of the Kusandong Tuff in the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Basin, Korea
The Kusandong Tuff has been regarded as a key bed for the subdivision of the Upper Cretaceous strata in the Gyeongsang Basin. Since the Kusandong Tuff has the wide range of the K-Ar whole-rock ages (82∼103 Ma)...
