Identification of the Optimal Spatial Unit for Process-Based Terrain Analysis in Mt.Changbai(Baekdu)Volcanic Region
Mt. Changbai (Baekdu) volcanic region, which distributes across Sino-Korean border, is one of the most unique landscapes for Korean and northeast Chinese in their historical, cultural, and ecological context. According to the historical records, about six volcanic eruptions have occurred (Choi et al., 2013). The impact of these eruptions affected not only Korea and northeast China, but also northeast Japan. The landform of this volcanic region that has been made by these eruptions is an unusual landscape in Korean Peninsula. This morphological characteristic may affect geomorphological, geochemical, and ecological processes. Therefore, geomorphological and hydrological process-based terrain analyses are needed for understanding environmental condition of this region. Despite the importance of terrain analysis in this region, however, there has been minimal research regarding terrain research in this area. For most part, recent geomorphological research in this region has tended to center around the description of the geomorphological landscape and estimation of the impact of the disasters caused by volcanic eruption.
