The purpose of this paper is to examine the origin of materials of sanddune in the Chungcheongnamdo. The sands consist mainly of quartz with lesser amount of feldspar and other heavy minerals. With the exception of those from the granite, the sands have a very fine texture. Another characteristic of the sand grains is the low degrees of roundness and grading which indicates that the source areas of the material are not far from the accumulating field. The rivers and streams of this region are not effective in transporting sediments for the coastal dunes. It has been recognized that the beaches and sanddunes have recently been receded as a result of the decrease in materials and the devastating actions of the breakers. The degradation process occurs most actively when the spring tides attack the beaches and foredunes. There are strata with red tint along the coastal areas of the Chungcheongnamdo which trace their origin back to the Pleistocene. From the fact that they contain little or no gravels, the strata are believed to have been the sanddunes during the last interglacial period. This fossil dunes provide part of the materials for the development of the present-day sanddunes along the coastal areas of the region.

Sandbars formed by sediment transportation and sedimentation are some of the most important habitats for specific wildlife and they provide an aesthetic landscape in streams. The purpose of this study was to understand the successional process of the colonization and development of early vegetation over time on sandbars exposed by the opening of a gate at a downstream weir. We selected the following four study sites in the Geumgang River, South Korea: three weir-upstream sites with different gate-opening times and a control site that was not affected by weir operation. Changes in the structural characteristics and spatial distribution of the riparian vegetation on the sandbars exposed after opening the gate at the weir were surveyed according to the different exposure periods of the sandbars at the study sites. The newly formed sandbars accounted for more than 33% of the area of the existing floodplain in the three weir-upstream sites of the Geumgang River after opening the gate at the weir. Nine main plant communities were distributed on the exposed sandbars. These communities were classified as annual mesophytic, perennial hydrophytic, perennial hygrophytic, subtree, and tree vegetation based on their species traits. As the duration of exposure of the sandbar increased, the area of the bare sandbar and the annual herbaceous and perennial hydrophytic communities decreased, and the areas occupied by perennial hygrophytic, subtree, and tree communities increased. Changes in vegetation on the sandbar were classified into three types of succession according to the condition of the aquatic habitat before the gate-opening and the degree of physical disturbance caused by the water flow after the gate-opening. The types of succession were: 1) succession starting from hydrophytes in the lentic aquatic zone, 2) succession starting from annual herbaceous hygrophytes in the lotic aquatic zone, and 3) willow-dominated succession in the disturbed channel side. Our results suggested that the dynamics of successional changes in vegetation should be considered during weir operation to ecologically manage the habitats and landscape of the fluvial landforms, including sandbars in streams.

Jungmun beach was confirmed only one beach as a nesting place of seaturtles in Jeju of South Korea. We investigated the environment conditions for nesting of seaturtles (sites 1, 2) to target as the spawning grounds of accidental nesting place. Sand temperatures of beaches at 5 cm above and 10, 30 and 50 cm below the surface of beach were measured at intervals of approximately 10 days during June to December. These data indicated that the optimum (over $25^{\circ}C$) sand temperature for spawning and hatching of seaturtles in the sites 1 and 2 from June 23 to September 29, 2008 and from June 23 to October 17, 2008, respectively. Also, maintained the optimum coastal water temperature (above $20^{\circ}C$) for seaturtles maintained from June 23 to November 17, 2008. Therefore, Jungmun beach could be the possible spawning grounds of accidental nesting place, where the landed seaturtles and hatched young seaturtles could be survived successfully.

Surfactants were used as representative anionic and non ionic surfactants to investigate the effect of mass transfer on the mineral-catalyzed Fenton-like oxidation of sorbed phenanthrene. Mass transfer of phenanthrene on the oxide surface or interlayer between aqueous and solid phases was generated by surfactant addition. Apparent solubility of phenanthrene was increased as surfactant concentration increasesd. In tests using Tween 80, oxidation of phenanthrene decreased as apparent solubility increased. High apparent solubility was not responsible for oxidation of sorbed phenanthrene in the sand due to the surfactant acted as a scavenger of degradation. In tests with SDS, $H_{2}O_{2}$ decomposition rate in Fenton-like oxidation was decreased by complexation between goethite and SDS. However, in tests using 32 mM of SDS, efficiency of phenanthrene treatment increased compared to the test without SDS addition. Therefore, suitable amount of SDS addition could provide optimum condition for phenanthrene oxidation on the oxide surface or interlayer between aqueous and solid phase, and decrease $H_{2}O_{2}$ decomposition, and as a result, phenanthrene removal efficiency can be improved.

Microphysogobio koreensis, an endemic Korean freshwater fishes belonging to Cyprinidae, is protected as a 2nd grade of endangered fishes by the ministry of the Environment. For this species, the study on the spawning microhabitat including structure of streambed and spawning grounds was carried out. The streambed that this species mainly lives consists of boulders, cobbles, and pebbles, the so-called Bb type, with a depth of 0.3 to 1.0 m and a rapid velocity of $0.5{\pm}0.2$ m/sec. But the main spawning grounds where the spawning is actually occurring, is relatively shallower, $0.4{\pm}0.1$ (0.4~0.6) m depth, and faster, $0.8{\pm}0.1$ (0.6~0.9) m/sec velocity, whereas the region that the fertilized eggs are attached are rather slowest to 0.4m/sec. The spawning starts at a water temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ in earlier May, laying their eggs on the cobbles' or boulders' surface or in between them. In particular, with a wide range of streambed structures, natural spawning grounds' environments may let the fertilized eggs not be swept from rapid current and secure efficient dissolved oxygen. The individuals, however, do not appear at the grounds any more after the spawning season, and it is expected that they may move into deeper water such as Lakes or lower streams.

하천에서 토사유출, 하상변동, 제방유실 등과 같은 현상은 유사 이송과정에 관련되어 있다. 하천에 대한 다양한 공학적 문제들을 해결하기 위한 첫 단계로서 유사이송의 특성을 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 유수에 의한 하상재료 이송과정은 핵심 기작에 따라 부유사와 소류사로 구분할 수 있으며 이들의 합이 총유사량이다. 하천에서 유사이송을 정량적으로 이해하기 위해서는 부유사량과 소류사량을 측정할 필요가 있다. 소류사가 부유사에 비하여 측정이 어렵고 많은 시간이 소요되기 때문에 소류사량은 현장실측 자료의 수가 매우 부족하나 부유사량 자료의 수는 상대적으로 많은 실정이다. 홍수 시 하천에서 부유사량은 측정하고 소류사량은 기존 유사량 공식을 이용해 산정하여 총유사량을 추정하기도 한다. 이 같은 총유사량의 신뢰한계는 소류사량 추정 공식에 의존될 수밖에 없다. 본 연구에서는 자갈하상 하천에서 측정한 총유사량 중에 소류사량이 차지하는 정도를 조사하였다. 일반적으로 자갈하천은 모래하천에 비하여 경사가 급하고 유속이 빠르며 산지하천이 이 경우에 속한다. 산지하천에서 부유사량의 변동은 하상조건보다는 유역에서 공급되는 토사유출량의 크기에 좌우되나 소류사량은 주로 하상조건에 영향을 받는다. 양양남대천의 실측 유사량에 대한 유사량-유량의 관계곡선 기울기를 보면 부유사보다 소류사의 경우가 더 크며 서로 교차하는 유량조건, 즉 유사량비(=소류사량/부유사량)가 1인 한계유량이 존재한다. 유량이 적을 때는 소류사가 이동하지 않더라도 부유사량이 존재하였으나 유량이 한계유량보다 크면 소류사량이 더 많았다. 소규모 자갈하천인 Oak Creek (Milhous, 1973)에서 조사한 총유사량에서도 한계유량이 확인되고 있다. 모래로 된 대하천에서 유사량비는 현저히 작으며 한계유량도 확인되지 않고 있으나 경사가 급한 자갈하천에서는 한계유량이 존재한다. 이는 하천에서 유량이 증가하고 하상재료가 커지면 총유사량에서 소류사량의 중요성이 증가한다는 것을 의미한다.

It is important to understand the complex, various migration features of the alluvial channels for river engineering. In this study, the morphological changes and migration features of alluvial channels were investigated by analyzing the aerial photographs of active channels between 1972 and 2004 in Hapyeong Intake Station, Nakdong river. The lower channels were migrated from left bank to right bank and showed the features of braided channel in 2004. The instability of lower channels was increased due to the increased channel slope and width. The sinuosity of lower channels was decreased with time. As time increased, the increasing rate of lower channel and lateral migration rate were decreased. As a result of meso-scale regime analysis by using bankfull discharge, multiple row bars were developed, and suspended sediment load was governed in the flow as a sand bed channel.

본 연구는 하천수를 직접 취수하는 기존 취수장의 취수장애 문제를 해결하기 위한 대안을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 지금까지 취수장 문제해결 방법으로 검토되지 않았던 유로(流路) 및 하천의 지형변동을 GIS 및 항공사진을 이용하여 정량적으로 파악하였으며, 유사영역 구분 및 하도특성 분석, 하천 특성 해석에 적합한 이동경계 좌표계를 이용한 수치모형을 적용하여 2차원 하상 및 지형변동 예측을 검토하였다. 저수로의 이동 및 하상저하로 인하여 취수문제가 발생하고 있는 경상북도 구미시에 위치한 해평취수장 주변에 대하여 항공사진 분석 및 GIS 기법을 이용하여, 시간 경과에 따른 하천 형태 변화 저수로의 이동 특성을 조사하고 분석하였다. 저수로는 좌안에서 우안으로 이동해 가고 있으며, 이는 하천의 경사가 급하고 하폭이 증가하면서 발생하는 현상으로 저수로의 불안정성이 크게 증가 하는 특성을 보여주었다. 시간의 증가에 따라 저수로 하폭의 증가율이 감소하고 있으며, 수로의 측방 이동을 보여주고 있으며, 시간이 증가함에 따라 측방향 이동율이 감소하였다. 만재유량을 이용하여 유사의 영역구분을 수행한 결과, 망상하천으로서, 모래하천으로 부유사가 지배적인 하천으로 판단되었다. 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 하상변동을 모의한 결과, 유량이 $2,000\;m^3/s$일 경우에는, 해평 취수장 측의 하천 하상은 상승하였으며, 구미정수장 측에서는 하상이 저하되었다. 홍수유량 $8,000\;m^3/s$일 경우에는 해평 취수장 측에서는 약간 저하하였고, 구미정수장 측에서는 하상이 상승하나, 직하류에서는 하상이 세굴되고, 하천 가운데 자리하고 있는 하중도는 커지는 현상을 보여 주었다. 또한 하중도 직하류에서는 하중도를 중심으로 좌안인 해평 취수장과 우안인 구미정수장 쪽으로 분류된 흐름이 합류되면서 하상에서는 퇴적과 세굴이 반복되며, 복렬 사주가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 두 흐름에 의해 와(vortex)가 크게 형성되어 하상의 세굴에 영향을 미치기 때문으로 판단되었다.

Gobiid fish were collected monthly in Cheonsu Bay by a beach seine from the shallow water and by an otter trawl from the deep water from September, 1984 to August, 1986. Seasonal variation in species composition and biology of the major species were examined with the data of length and age composition. Fourteen speices of gobies were identified. Gobiid fish were more abundant in the shallow water than in the deep water. In the shallow water, they constituted 66% and 39% of the fish collected in the mud flat and the sand beach, respectively. The suction discs of the gobies explains that they inhabit successfully in the surf zone where the wave action is strong. Of the major species, Chaenogobius mororanus predominated in the shallow mud flat. A large number of adults of this species were obtained in Spring and their juveniles were collected from Summer through Autumn. Favonigobius gymnauchen was abundant in the shallow water, especially in the sand beach. This fish seemed to spawn from May through June, about two months later than Chaenogobius mororanus. Acanthogobius hasta juveniles lived in the shallow water and moved into the deep water as the fish grew. Chaturichthys stigmatias was collected mainly in the deep zone.

지석천 중하류는 영산강의 제1지류로서 전라남도의 화순을 가로지르는 국가하천 구간이다. 이 구간(대초천 합류점${\sim}$화순천합류점)의 하천경사는 약 1/640 이며, 하천주변에는 충적평야가 발달해 있다. 이와 같은 하도의 하상재료는 자갈/모래의 혼합사가 분포하는 것이 일반적인 특성이지만, 2005년 현재 선격자법에 의한 조사결과 평균입경$(d_{50})$은 8cm 전후의 작은호박돌/매우굵은자갈로 구성되어 있는 특이성을 보이고 있다. 문헌에 따르면 1978년 하상재료의 평균입경은 $1.59{\sim}2.23cm$로서 20여년동안 하상재료는 매우 조립화되고, 하상은 장갑화되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 현상은 지석천 유역의 농업화와 도시화에 따른 하도정비 및 유황의 변화에 기인한 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 항공사진 분석 및 현장조사를 통하여 하천지형학적 변화와 사주의 식생피복상태의 변화에 대한 분석을 수행하여 하도특성변화를 정량적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 결과적으로 지석천에서 하천의 역동성이 크게 감소함으로써 다지형(망상) 하도로 하도선형이 변화하고, 식생사주의 면적이 확대되었으며, 하상저하가 발생함을 확인하였다.
