The purpose of this study is to establish an ecosystem model that can predict ecosystem fluctuations in the Nakdong estuary, and use this model to calculate total primary production and respiration. AQUATOX model was used as the ecosystem model, and the model was calibrated and verified using the measured data. For the calibration of the model, chlorophyll-a data measured at the Nakdong estuary were used, and the model verification was performed using DO, TN, and TP data. In general, the total primary production and respiration volume vary greatly depending on the season, but the total primary production and respiration in the Nakdong estuary were greatly influenced by the amount of water discharged from Nakdong estuary bank. When the amount of effluent increased, photosynthesis could not be performed due to the loss of phytoplankton living in the lower area, and the total primary production amounted to zero, whereas the respiration increased sharply due to the inflow of organic substances contained in the effluent. The increase in the inflow water means the inflow of organic substances contained in the inflow water, and the organic substances are decomposed by oxidation, reducing dissolved oxygen. Compared with other countries' estuaries, the Nakdong estuary shows the lowest total primary production and because the respiration is larger than the total primary production, the dissolved oxygen is depleted by the oxidation of organic matter.

Nakdong Estuary is complex water system, where sea water and fresh water meet each other. After construction of Nakdong River Barrier, the flow pattern and mixing processes have been changed. Variations of physical oceanographic environment in Nakdong Estuary due to opening and closing the floodgate of Nakdong River Barrier are analysed focusing the movement of outflows from the barrier. Surveys and analysis were made for the three cases. 1. Ordinary times (opening and closing the gate by the tidal period) 2. A period of flood time (opening the gate) 3. A period of water shortage (closing the gate).

We predicted to seasonal sediment transport pathway of the estuary area of the Nakdong river using the STA method. The eCSedtrend model was used to flexible application of the previous STA methods. The analysis of the seasonal interpretation of sediment transport pathway showed that the most dominant trend in the Nakdong estuary was CB+ and CB-. In case of CB+, it was identified around the area where the mud sediment was distributed and formed transport vector toward the north. Also, in case of CB-, it was identified mostly around the sand bar where the sand sediment was distributed and generally showed transport vector toward the north even though there was seasonal difference.

In this study, we carried out case study to predict dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of Nakdong river estuary with LSTM model. we aimed to figure out a optimal model condition and appropriate predictor for prediction in dissolved oxygen concentration with model parameter and predictor as cases. Model parameter case study results showed that Epoch = 300 and Sequence length = 1 showed higher accuracy than other conditions. In predictor case study, it was highest accuracy where DO and Temperature were used as a predictor, it was caused by high correlation between DO concentration and Temperature. From above results, we figured out an appropriate model condition and predictor for prediction in DO concentration of Nakdong river estuary.

This study analyzed the characteristics of sea water transport between Busan New-port and the Nakdong River estuary. Numerical modeling was used to evaluate the characteristics of the tidal current. Numerical simulations of three different topographies were conducted. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The volume of sea water transport was reduced by $0.7{\sim}18.4%$ when water depth was decreased at Busan New-port (10 m); 2) The volume of sea water transport was increased by $3.5{\sim}21.9%$ when a channel (depth 5 m) was constructed in the direction of the Nakdong River estuary.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 하구둑의 수문을 완전히 개방한 경우로 상정하여 외해로부터 염수가 하천의 상류방향으로 침입해 가는 과정을 수치모의하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 염분 침투현상에 대해 모델링 및 과거 관측한 자료를 이용하여 낙동강 하구둑 상류로 침투되는 염수쐐기의 거동을 규명함으로써 낙동강 하구둑 상류지역의 기수역을 확보하고자 하는 것이다. 수치모의를 수행한 결과, 대상 영역 내에서 염수가 하구부를 시작으로 낙동강 상류방향으로 활발하게 침입하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 각 경우의 결과로부터 밀도차에 의한 담수와 염수의 층 분할현상은 유입유량이 작을수록 더욱 강하게 나타나고 유입 유량이 클 경우 층분할 현상이 작아지며 좁은 영역에서 담수와 염수의 혼합이 이루어지고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.

To investigate sedimentary facies and environmental changes of the Nakdong River Estuary and its adjacent coastal area, the grain size analysis and measurement of organic matter, calcium carbonate, clay mineral and metallic elements were carried out for forty surface sediment samples. Based on regional distribution pattern and characteristics of the surface sediments, sedimentary facies in the study area can be divided into sand facies (TYPE I), mud facies (TYPE II) and sand-mud mixed facies (TYPE III). TYPE III is the transition of TYPE I and TYPE II in every aspects of sediment characteristics. It suggests that TYPE III may have been formed by the mixture of two different source of sediment : one derived from Nakdong River and the other resuspended fine-grained sediments from the Jinhae Bay by winnowing action during floods or storms. Among many aspects of environmental change after the construction of the Nakdong Barrage, the most significant is the increase of sand content off the sand barrier region. It could be explained by several reasons including decreased input of fine-grained sediment from river, increased hydrodynamic energy level off the sand barrier region and artificial effects such as dredging and dumping.

This study estimated the behavior(movement) characteristics of floating marine debris flowing in the Nakdong River Estuary using a simple numerical particle-tracking model. This numerical experiment considered the maximum water discharge outflow from the Nakdong River barrage during the passage of typhoon Maemi in 2003. The simulation showed that the particle distribution and movement of floating marine debris in the Nakdong River Estuary reached a stable state at 72 hours after the typhoon had passed, during the flαxl period of river discharge. The quantity of floating particles distributed on the east coast of Gadeok and Jinu Islands increased by 40% at 33 hours after starting the model, while the change in other sea areas was $20{\sim}40%$.

This paper aims to investigate morphological changes of deltaic barrier islands in the Nakdong Estuary and especially their spatial variations after barrage construction. We analyzed shorelines, geometrical centroids, and areas to reveal the changes of barrier islands. Here, we suggest three interesting points from this study. First, each individual barrier island in the Nakdong estuary goes through a different stage of the geomorphic cycle. The frontal barrier islands such as Sinja-do and Doyo-deung grow because they are located in front of the gates of the barrage. Sediments in water out of the gates are moved to offshore and then reworked by coastal processes such as waves and tides. Second, on the contrary, Baekhap-deung located behind Doyo-deung now diminishes indicating that sediments mainly move to the frontal growing island. Third, there is no morphological change in several barrier islands far away from the main flow of the Nakdong river such as Jinwoo-do, Daema-deung, and Jangja-do. In conclusion, barrier islands in the Nakdong estuary show distinct spatial variations. As a barrier island is closer to the main channel or is in the frontal location, there happens a very dynamic change in the morphology of the island.

최근 낙동강 하구는 35년만에 기수 생태 복원을 본격화하는 다양한 노력과 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한, 하구에 접해 있는 낙동강 1지류인 서낙동강 수질개선을 위한 물순환 연구도 진행되고 있다. 하지만 하구에 다양한 물관리기관이 혼재하여 유기적인 물관리가 미흡하고, 이해관계자(농민, 어민, 시민단체, 지자체 등)간에 이견도 다양하다. 서낙동강의 "수량-수질-생태" 관리의 효율성을 확보하기 위한 다양한 물관리기관의 물정보 통합관리가 필요하며, 시스템과 수치모형을 구성하여 예측 분석후 수질 및 수질특성을 실측기반을 통해 검보정으로 모형의 정확성을 높이고, 지속적인 유역내 수리적 흐름과 수질개선할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 서낙동강유역 소유역(33개)로 강우-유출 HSPF 모형으로 유량과 오염부하량을 소유역 15개의 하천에 수리·수질 EFDC 모형 입력자료로 반영되어 계산된다. 모형의 검증을 위해 본류 대저수문 15km 지점(서낙동강 유입부)에 수문개방을 통해 서낙동강 농업용수와 수질개선 유량공급시에 ADCP를 활용하여 대저수문을 포함하여 4개소에 유속과 측정 유량을 산정하여 모형 검보정에 활용하였다. 본 연구결과는 복잡한 하천구성(서낙동강, 평강천, 맥도강, 조만강, 지류하천 등) 및 수리구조물 운영과 수리-수질(염분 포함) 분석 필요성 등을 고려하여 기 구축된 낙동강 하구 통합물관리시스템 수문데이터와 연동되어 향후 서낙동강 물순환 연구에 활용이 될 것으로 기대가 된다.
