Biostratigraphic research has been conducted over the last four decades in the southwestern Ulleung Basin and has provided a chronostratigraphic framework to understand basin evolution. However, absolute geologic ages for the basin are almost absent owing to the lack of deep-drilled cores. To obtain the absolute age from the zircon, we extensively sampled and measured five deep-drilled conventional cores previously obtained fo...

Maternal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is associated with adverse pregnancy and neonatal health outcomes. To explore the mechanism, we performed mRNA sequencing of neonatal cord blood. From an ongoing prospective cohort, Air Pollution on Pregnancy Outcome (APPO) study, 454 pregnant women from six centers between January 2021 and June 2022 were recruited. Individual PM 2.5 exposure was calculated using a time-we...
