금강 퇴적물의 지화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 상류에서 하류까지 21개의 표층 퇴적물을 채취하고 총금속(Al, Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb) 입도별 금속 및 존재형태별 금속을 분석하였다. 또한 하천에서 연안역까지 미량금속의 공간적 변화를 보기 위해 부유물 을 일정 간격으로 채취하여 미량금속을 분석하였다. 퇴적물 중 미량 금속 함량을 평균 입도 와 밀접히 관계하여 변화하며 세립질실트 이하 부분에서 가장높은 함량을 보였고 이 높은 함량은 하천 부유물 중 금속 함량과 Mn을 제외하고 거의 유사한 수준이었다. Pb은 조립질 모래에서도 높은 함량을 보이는데 이는 조립질 모래에 많이 포함된 정장석에 의한 영향이 되고 세립질 실트에서의 높은 금속 함량은 세립한 중광물에 의한 영향이다. Mn과 Pb을 제 안한 금속들은 퇴적물 중 주로(70% 이상) 결정 격자와 관계하여 존재하는데 이는 퇴적물의 주구성 입도가 조립하여 금속이 풍부하고 세립한 중광 물에 의한 영향이 크기 때문이다. 하 천에서 염하구로 금속 함량이 급격히 감소하는데 이는 용존 $Mn^{+2}$이온이 $MnO_2$로 변화하는 산화반응과 하천구역에서의 퇴적 그리고 염하구에서 금속이 적어 진 입자(염하구 내에서 유기물 분해/용해로 만들어지거나 재부유 작요에 의한 조립질 물질) 와 하천 부유물과의 혼합작용에 의해 이루어진다.

수 MV급 탄뎀형 가속기와 정전형, 자장형 질량분석기를 결합함으로써 존재비가 극히 작은 동위원소 측정이 가능해진다. 수 MeV로 가속이 되면 분해에 방해가 되는 모든 분자이온들이 제거되며, 탄뎀형 가속기에서는 음이온으로부터 가속이 개시되므로 몇몇 음이온을 형성하지 못하는 동중원소의 간섭으로부터 자유로워지기 때문에 고감도분석이 실현될 수 있다. 이외에 음이온을 형성하는 동중원소들은 주로 이온함인 최종 검출기에서의 유효 전하에 따른 에너지손실 차이를 이용하여 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다. 현재는 주로 장반감기 방사성동위원소인 $^{10}Be$, $^{14}C$, $^{26}Al$, $^{36}Cl$과 $^{129}I$ 등의 측정법이 확립되어 천연시료 중에서 동위원소 존재비 $10^{-12}$에서 $10^{-15}$까지의 정량이 가능하며, 원자수로 환산한 검출하한을 $10^5$개가 된다. 또한 해당 원소를 기준으로 소요 시료량은 대부분 mg 정도로 충분하다. 지금까지는 불가능했던 이러한 특징으로 인해 지난 수년간 AMS(Accelerator Mass Spectrometry)가 활용되어 온 연구분야는 지구과학(기후학, 우주화학, 빙하학, 수문학, 해양학, 퇴적학, 화산학 및 광물탐사), 인류 및 고고학(연대측정), 그리고 물리학(천체물리, 핵 및 입자물리) 등으로 다양하다. 이외에 생의학 및 재료과학 분야에서도 AMS를 활용하고자 하는 노력이 계속되고 있다. 본 해설에서는 가속기질량분석기술의 특징, 원리, 장치 및 활용분야 등을 소개하고자 하며, 이로써 관련 분야의 연구 활성화에 기여하고자 한다.

The behavior of rock mass is influenced by its microscopic feature of internal structure generating from forming and metamorphic process. This study investigated a new methodology for characterization of rock based on the X-ray CT (computed tomography) images reflecting the spatial distribution characteristics of internal constituent materials. The X-ray image based analysis is capable of quantification of heterogeneity and anisotropy of rock fabric, size distribution and shape parameter analysis of rock mineral grains, fluid flow simulation based on pore geometry image and roughness evaluation of unexposed joint surface which are hardly acquired by conventional rock testing methods.

We have studied microwave extraction process of boric acid from one of calcium borate ores, colemanite. Calcium and boron have separated by addition of sulfuric acid, and calcium has been separated out as calcium sulfate. It was possible to extract boron with the smaller amount of sulfuric acid and with short heating time in microwave heating compared to conventional heating process. The products of boric acid was the same purity and thermal characteristic, but smaller in particle size.

Soluble silica profiles of the East Sea were described by comparing the 1970 Japanese data with the 1999-2000 ONR-JES data set, which is the most extensive collection of data currently available. Considering the ventilation mode change happened/ongoing and the features of the soluble silica to phosphate ratio we suggest a hypothesis that a utilization of soluble silica by the primary production might be exacerbated in the future. According to the silica limitation hypothesis composition of primary producers will be altered and followed by a weaker contribution of ballast against aggregates in the export production. Since the silicate cycle is deeply intertwined with the carbon cycle whether the warmed future ocean would behave like the East Sea appears to a potentially promising study theme.

In order to investigate the characteristics of the effects of various emission sources such as ships around the Busan North Port area, PM_2.5 samples were analyzed by SEM/EDS (scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer). In the port city Busan, the main emission source of PM_2.5 is ships, and soot was observed as the main exhaust particles of a ship diesel engine. As a result of the individual particle analysis of PM_2.5 at the sampling site, carbonaceous particles such as soot and water droplet-shaped, which are considered to be exhausted from ships, were constantly observed. And some spherical Fe-rich particles also appeared.

미세 물질을 포함하고 있는 광산 폐기물의 디워터링 과정(dewatering process)은 작은 입자들의 침전속도가 낮기 때문에 시간이 오래 걸리고 어려운 과정이다. 따라서 광산 폐기물이 안정적으로 침전되었는지 확인하기 위해서 디워터링 과정을 연속적으로 모니터링하는 기술이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 kaolinite, illite, bentonite 3 종류의 점토를 3 가지 농도(0.1g/L, 1g/L, 5g/L)로 나눠서 초음파 음향 감지를 이용해 후방산란 신호를 측정했다. 그리고 측정된 신호를 활용하여 합성곱 신경망(CNN) 모델을 개발하여 점토의 분류 모델을 만드는 연구를 수행했다. 본 연구에서 보여준 CNN 의 높은 정확도는 광산 폐기물의 디워터링 과정에서 미세 광물과 미세 농도 분류 모니터링에 적합한 저렴하고 측정하기 쉬운 음향 감지의 사용 가능성을 입증했다.

In order to understand the carbon cycle in the Amundsen Sea of the Southern Ocean, the export fluxes of particulate organic carbon from the euphotic zone to deep water estimated using ${\psi}$/${\psi}$ disequilibrium method. Seawaters in 14 water columns were collected during February and March 2012, and analyzed for total and dissolved ${\psi}$, and particulate organic carbon. Total ${\psi}$ activities in the water column showed deficiency and excess relative to those of ${\psi}$ depending on the water depth. Deficiency of total ${\psi}$ in the euphotic zone showed mirror images both with chlorophyll-a and fluorescence, and was consistent with the loss of nitrate, which indicated the effect of biological activity. In addition, deficiency of total ${\psi}$ from deep water was associated with the increase of total dissolvable Fe/Mn concentration. Excess total ${\psi}$ activity presented below the euphotic zone might be related to particulate ${\psi}$ concentrated in this water depth. Mean export flux of ${\psi}$ estimated using the steady state model was $867{\pm}246dpmm^{-2}day^{-1}$. Mean export flux of particulate organic carbon, which were estimated by the product of total ${\psi}$ flux and ratio of POC/${\psi}$ ($7.08{\pm}4.27{\mu}molCdpm^{-1}$) in the sinking particles, was $5.9{\pm}3.9mmolCm^{-2}day^{-1}$. These fluxes were similar levels to those in the Weddell Sea during February and March 2008. Export ratios (ThE) relative to the primary production in the euphotic zone were in the range of 3-54% (av. 28%).

Deep-sea surface sediments acquired by multiple corer from 69 stations in the Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone of the northeast equatorial Pacific, were examined to understand the correlation of mass physical properties and sedimen-tological processes. The seabed of the middle part ($8-12^{\circ}N$) of the study area is mainly covered by biogenic siliceous sediment compared with pelagic red clays in the northern part ($16-17^{\circ}N$). In the southern part ($5-6^{\circ}N$), water depth is shallower than carbonate compensation depth (CCD). The mass physical properties such as grain size distribution, mean grain size, water content, specific grain density, wet bulk density, void ratio, and porosity of sediments are distinctly different among the three parts of the study area. Surface sediments in northern part are characterized by fine grain size and low water contents possibly due to low primary productivity and high detrital input. Conversely, sediments in the middle part are characterized by coarse grain size and high water contents, which might be caused by high surface productivity and deeper depth than CCD. The sediments show low water contents and high density in the southern part, which can be explained by shallower depth than CCD. Our results suggest that the variations in mass physical properties of sediments are influenced by combined effects including biogenic primary productivity of surface water, water depth, especially with respect to CCD, sedimentation rate, detrital input, and the geochemistry of the bottom water (for example, formation of authigenic clay minerals and dissolution of biogenic grains).

Petrographic investigation has been carried out to determine the composition of the beach sediments and the affecting factors which have controlled their compositional variations from Hyupjae, Aeweol, Iho, Samyang, Hamdeok, Sehwa, Pyoseon, Jungmun, and Hwasun areas along the coast of the Cheju Island. Average mean sizes of the beach sediments are Hyupjae 2.2ø, Aeweol 0.8ø, Iho 1.4ø, Samyang 2.4ø, Hamdeok 1.6ø, Sehwa 1.5ø, Pyoseon 2.1ø, Jungmun 0.4ø, and Hwasun 0.9ø, thus, aries from 0.4 to 2.4ø. The beach sediments from Pyoseon and Hwasun areas are poorly sorted, those from Aeweol and Jungmun areas are moderately sorted and those from the rest of the areas are moderately well sorted. While-colored beach sediments in Hyupjae, Aeweol, Hamdeok, Sehwa, and Pyoseon areas are mostly composed of calcareous shells (more than 85%) such as mollusk, red algae, benthic foraminiferas, etc., whereas volcanic rock fragment is the dominant component of the black-colored beach sediments in Iho, Samyang, and Hwasun areas. Especially, the relatively white-colored beach sediment in Jungmun area, which is on e of the carbonate-dominant areas, shows a higher content of rock fragments than the other carbonate-dominant areas. The beach sediments in Pyoseon area show a high content of carbonate intercalates. Considering the contributions by organisms according to grain size, grains with the size range of 1∼2ø are mostly composed of calcareous red algae fragments, and grains with the size range of 2∼3ø consist of mollusk fragments. It is also notable that bryozoan fragments comprise about 48% of the sediment in Samyang area with the size range of 0∼1ø. The composition of the beach sediments in Cheju Island appears o be controlled by the riverine supply rate of volcanic rock fragments, the lithology of the rocks distributed ear the beaches, the direction of alongshore currents, and the direction of storms, etc.. It is suggested that the beach sediments in Iho and Samyang areas show black color because of the higher supply rate of the volcanic rock fragments from the nearby rivers, whereas those in the rest of the areas show white color due to the relatively lower content of volcanic rock fragments and higher content of carbonate components transported from shallow marine environment. In Hwasun area, the content of volcanic rock fragments is high, and they are directly from the tuffaceous rocks distributed nearby. Also, the volcanic rock fragments in Jungmun area are transported not only from the rivers nearby but also from the nearby tuffs by storm activities. The beach sediment in Pyoseon area contains a high content of carbonate intercalates, which formed in the nearby shallow marine environment through marine cementation. This indicates that active marine cementation occurs in shallow marine environment near Pyoseon area.
