2D/3D attribution analysis technology based on seismic data and drilling cores was developed to precisely investigate properties such as depth, length, displacement, slope, and age of seabed and determine the submarine structure in the southeastern sea of Korea. A long sediment core (100 m length) was obtained in the main submarine fault area. Correlation between 2D/3D seismic data and drilling core data provided accurate information on distribution and properties of small/medium sized submarine structures and faults. The technology has a potential to contribute greatly to coastal risk assessment, construction and operation of nuclear power plants, national policy, and research on active submarine faults that can have major impacts on the national economy.
