We constructed the tidal chart of $M_2$ tide in the East Sea (Japan Sea) by an objective method. The sea level elevations at coastal stations are specified as Dirichlet boundary conditions, and the tidal constants inside of the East Sea basin are determined by the solution of the complex partial differential equation for the sea surface elevation. We studied the influences of the bottom topography and the tidal friction on the distribution of tidal chart inside of the basin. Using the results of basin-wide tidal model, we constructed a detailed tidal chart of the Ma tide off east of Korea.

This study on Korean capreilids (Amphipoda, Capreiiidae) was based on the materlais collected from 23 locailties in the coast of the East Sea and the Ulrung Island. 17 species of genus Caprella were identified. Among them, 3 species are newly reported from Korea: Caprella cristibrachium Mayer, 1903, C. linearis (Linnaeus, 1767) and C. mixta Mayer, 1903. 6 species are new records from the East Sea: Caprella brevirostris Mayer, 1903, C. decipiens Mayer, 1890, C. equilibra Say, 1818, C. gigantochir Mayer, 1903, C. tsugarensis Utinomi, 1947 and C. verrucosa Boeck, 1872. As a result, Korean caprellid fauna consists of 5 genera, 30 species.

Two specimens (407~438 mm in standard length) of a pleuronectid Atheresthes evermanni were collected by a gill-net from the coastal waters off Goseong-gun, middle East Sea of Korea. These specimens are characterized by a large mouth, narrow interorbital space, invisible eye at blind side, long and slender gill rakers, emarginated caudal fin, and almost straight lateral line. This is the first record of A. evermanni in Korean waters; we therefore add it to the Korean fish fauna and propose new Korean name, "Hwa-sal-chi-ga-ja-mi-sog" for the genus and "Hwa-sal-chi-ga-ja-mi" for the species, respectively.

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.

One-year-old seedlings of open-pollinated progenies of pitch-loblolly hybrid pine plus trees were selected for cold-hardiness during cold winter of 1983-1984. Survived trees were planted in three locations. Two years later, the ratio of cold-damaged trees and 3rd year heights were recorded. The ratio of the, cold-damage trees among screened progenies were 5.6% in Kyunggi and 22.6% in Chungnam, while 9.3% and 43.3%, respectively, in unscreened control plot. Severely damaged families at one-year-old seedling stage also suffered heavy cold damage after two years. Not much differences were observed between families in 3rd year height.

본 연구에서는 한국 동해 대륙붕 해역에서의 주요 해양현상인 수직 수온구조의 단기변동, 수온전선, 그리고 내부파의 변동을 분석하고 이들 변화에 따른 음파의 음장변화를 고찰하였다. 한국 동해항 근해에서 수온의 수직적 변화는 계절적인 변화 이외에 약 2주간의 짧은 기간에도 매우 극적인 변화가 존재함이 실측자료를 통해 밝혀졌다. 1999년 관측된 CTD 자료를 바탕으로 음장 변화를 살펴본 결과 주파수 1kHz, 음원수심 $30{\cal}m$ 인 경우 수신기 수심에 따라 최소 3dB, 최대 10dB까지 차이를 가져올 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한국 동해에서 연안과 외해 사이에는 수온전선이 매우 자주 발달하며 여름에 가장 강한 것으로 알려져 있다. 동해항 근해에는 대표적인 수괴인 대마난류수와 북한한류수가 공존하며 이들의 상대적인 세력 변화 때문에 수은(음속)이 거리에 따라 급격하게 변하는 수온전선이 발달할 수 있다. 저주파수 대역 (200Hz)에 대한 간단한 시뮬레이션 결과는 수온전선이 정상적인 분포에 비해서 거리에 따라 7dB 정도의 큰 전파손실을 초래할 수 있음을 보인다. 한국 동해 연안에도 내부파가 존재한다는 사실이 최근 3년간의 연구 결과 밝혀졌다. 내부파는 외해에서 발생하여 대륙단을 거쳐 대륙붕으로 진행해 오면서 내부파 군 (Packets)으로 분산된다. 수직적 변화가 전체 수층의 $14\%$를 차지하는 간단한 형태의 내부파를 가정하여 음장변화를 시물레이션 한 결과 주파수 1 kHz, 음원수심 $20{\cal}m$인 경우 내부파는 수렴구역 형성을 현저하게 방해하여 최대 5dB까지의 차이를 유발하였다. 추후 이에 대한 연구는 내부파 전체의 시,공간적 분포 특성이 구체적으로 규명되면 보다 정확한 음장변화 추정이 이뤄져야 할 것으로 보인다. 또한 내부파와 음파의 상대적인 진행 방향에 따라 음장변화가 크게 다를 것이 예상되므로 이를 규명하기 위해서는 궁극적으로 3차원적인 음장분포 연구가 필요하다. 음향센서를 해저면에 매설할 경우 수충의 수온변화와 센서 주변의 수온변화 사이에는 어느 정도의 시간지연이 존재하게 되므로 이에 대한 영향을 규명하는 것도 센서의 성능예측을 위해서 필요하리라 사료된다.

This study aims to contribute regional economic development by means of searching port logistics industry activation scheme of Gangwon province which has locational advantage around the East Sea Region. Thus, this thesis was provided the port logistics industry activation schemes of that region in the point of local and government view. In the local government level, this study was provided the selection of a key port and its intensive development, establishment of port networking among major port and e-port system of this region, and enlargement of the FTA etc. Also this study was required the relative industry invitation and upbringing, and intensive port logistics marketing activity. On the other hand, in the government level, it needs larger SOC investment for enlargement of direct accessibility and connection to the Gangwon-do ports, and required the intensive and efficient support. Finally, it was proposed the establishment of the total logistics expert education system.

This paper deals with a possible contribution to international relations and affairs by the discipline of geography and raises the necessity of a new field in geography that would study relations between nations. The proposed change of the name 'East Sea' is used as a case study in promoting international standardization. Two major international organizations oversee the international standardization of geographical names. One is the UN Conferences of the Standardization of the Geographical Names which work in association with the UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names, and the other is the International Hydrographic Organization. These two organizations have in the past passed all the relevant resolutions pertaining to geographical names. From recent developments on the Korean Peninsula, however, it has become evident that international disputes on place names sometimes require a long process of consultation with the relevant parties. Efforts being made to restore the historically appropriate name of 'East Sea' as opposed to the 'Sea of Japan' have only now begun to diffuse in many areas. It would be appropriate if geographers could develop a new area of 'Geography of International Relations' that deals with WTO, oceans, environment and climatic issues, FAT, as well as territories and boundaries. Furthermore, it would improve the quality of discourse if geographers participated more in the decision-making processes in international affairs.

Concrete incorporating high volume blast-furnace slag placed in cold weather regions might be in danger of initial frost damage because dependently on the mix proportions, the setting and the hardening would be remarkably delayed. Therefore, this study investigated to effect of the degree of frost on the strength development and the resistance to freezing and thawing of the concrete incorporating blast-furnace slag when being subjected to freeze at early age. As the experimental results, the concrete incorporating blast-furnace slag attacked by initial frost damage showed the remarkable reduction of both the compressive strength development and the resistance to freezing and thawing. Especially, the resistance to freezing-thawing of the concrete incorporating high volume blast-furnace slag became much lower than that of the normal concrete.

The morphological variations and habitat environment of the Zostera asiatica Miki (Zosteraceae) were examined in the waters off the eastern coast of Korea and Akkeshi Bay of Japan. In this study, we report new habitat of Z. asiatica along the eastern coast of south Korea； Gonghunjin, Donghori, Youngdong and Chilpo. Z. asiatica is found at the depth of 8∼15 m in these areas. However, Z. asiatica grows at the depth of 3 m in Akkeshi Bay of Japan. The sediment of habitats in the eastern coast of Korea were principally composed of sand. The stems were 64.0∼75.7 cm long in mature plants with flowering shoots and the leaves were 11.0∼15.0 mm wide for Korean populations. Plants from Akkeshi Bay of Japan had stems of 187.0∼234.0 cm in length. The difference in size are considered to be due to the depth of habitats. In spite of the significant morphological difference between Korea and Japan population of Z. asiatica, there was no difference in ITS sequences.
