...Kyungsik Choi Abstract Well-developed rhythmic climbing-ripple cross-lamination (RCRL) was described from estuarine tidal channels in Gomso Bay, west coast of Korea. Associated with upper intertidal point bars of closely spaced meandering channels, RCRL occurs between mean sea level and mean neap...

...Byongcheon Yang; Robert W. Dalrymple; Murray K. Gingras; Seungsoo Chun; Heejun Lee Abstract Integrated sedimentologic and ichnologic studies from the open-mouthed, Gomso Bay estuary on the western Korean coast have revealed that both tides and waves play an important role in estuarine sedimentation...

...Y. H. Kim; H. J. Lee; S. S. Chun; S. J. Han; S. K. Chough Abstract Gomso Bay, located on the western coast of Korea, has a mean tidal range of 4.3 m and is directly open to the Yellow Sea. Analysis of eighteen vibracores (in two transects) from extensive tidal flats on the south side of the bay...

...Hee Jun Lee; Seung Soo Chun; Jin Ho Chang; Sang-Joon Han Abstract A shelly sand ridge, 860 m long, 30-60 m wide, and up to 1.6 m high, parallels the shoreline on a high tidal mudflat in Gomso Bay, which opens to the eastern Yellow Sea. The ridge is composed entirely of fine to medium sand and shell...

.... A chenier is forming near the shoreline at the entrance of Gomso Bay in the north of study area. B) Distribution of surface sediments of the Gochang coast, acquired in winter, February 2015. The sand of 2.0 ∼ 3.0 ϕ is predominant tending to fine seaward. ...

.... 1991 ). Recent observations from the macrotidal Gomso Bay, mid-west coast of Korea, however, documented that tidal channels are mobile despite their association with small fluvial channel systems ( Choi et al. 2013 ). The present study substantiates that tidal channels without a fluvial upstream reach...

... ( Yang et al. 2007 ). Wave-formed swash bars (LF B) represent larger sand bodies, which might form non-emerged, incipient barriers like those described by Yang et al. (2007) in the outer part of the mixed-energy Gomso Bay estuary. Overall, this environment is characterized by the ubiquity of wave...

... ), with an estimated average rate of 4 mm/yr. The kasten-core rates are also exceptionally high for the offshore deposit as compared to the accumulation rates reported for the Korean tidal flats, such as 5-9 mm/yr in Namyang Bay ( Alexander et al. 1991b ) and ∼ 1 mm/yr in Gomso Bay ( Kim et al. 1999 ). According...
