The GRACE satellite, Launched in March 2002, is applied to research on glacial melt of polar regions, glacial isostatic adjustment(GIA), sea level change, terrestrial water storage(TWS) variation of river basin and large-scale earthquake etc. In this research, the TWS variation of Yangtze river basin from August, 2002 to January, 2009 is analyzed using Level-2 GRACE monthly gravity field model. Particularly, gravity changes of the Three Gorges Dam during the impoundment process in 2003, 2006 and 2008 is observed by estimating equivalent water thickness(EWT). The research results show the distinct annual and seasonal changes of Yangtze river basin, and its amplitude of annual variation is 2.3cm. In addition, we compare the results with water resource statistics and hydrologic observation data to confirm the possibility of research of TWS variation of river basin using GRACE observation data, and also the satellite gravity data is of great help for the research on the movement and periodic changes of river basin.

The EG/AD/S model ice, originally developed by Timco (1986), was selected as the primary model ice material for the newly built MOERI Ice Model Basin in Korea. However, the existence of a sugar component in the EG/AD/S mixture may cause a serious maintenance problem, as described in certain references. This study focuses on the tests of the mechanical properties of the EG/AD/S and the EG/AD model ice. In order to understand the influence of sugar in the original EG/AD/S model ice and to find a possible substitute for sugar, a series of tests with the EG/AD model ice were performed, and the results were compared to those of the EG/AD/S model ice. The relatively large size of the MOERI Ice Model Basin made it difficult to control the initial strength of model ice, so it took a much longer time to achieve the target strength. In order to obtain a lower strength and stiffness for the model ice, the amount of chemical additives may be varied to achieve the desired strength level. This paper is a preliminary study aimed at seeking a possible substitute for the original EG/AD/S model ice for utilization in a large-scale ice tank. To understand the influence of sugar in the original EG/AD/S model ice, the mechanical properties of the EG/AD/S and EG/AD model ice, such as flexural strength, compressive strength, and elastic modulus, were tested in the laboratory condition and compared to each other. The warm-up procedure seems to be an important factor to reduce ice strength in the tests, so it is discussed in detail.

A full-scale field experiment is an important part in the design of ships and offshore structures. Full-scale tests in the ice-covered sea, however, are usually very expensive and difficult tasks. Model tests in a refrigerated ice tank may substitute this difficulty of full-scale field tests. One of the major tasks to perform proper model tests in an ice towing tank is to select a realistic material for model ice which shows correct similitude with natural sea ice. This study focuses on the testing material properties and the selection of model ice material which will be used in an ice model basin. The first Korean ice model basin will be constructed at the Maritime & Ocean Engineering Research Institute (MOERI) in 2009. With an application to the MOERI ice model basin, in this study the material properties of EG/AD/S model ice of IOT (Institute for Ocean Technology) Canada, were tested. Through comprehensive bending tests, the elastic modulus and the flexural strength of EG/AD/S model ice were evaluated and the results were compared with published test results from Canada. Instead of using an ice model basin, a cold room facility was used for making a model ice specimen. Since the cold room adopts a different freezing procedure to make model ice, the strength of the model ice specimen differs from the published test results. The reason for this difference is discussed and the future development for a making model ice is recommended.

Sedimentary facies and high-resolution echo facies were analyzed to elucidate sedimentation pattern of the late Quaternary glacial-marine deposits in the northern continental margin of the South Shetland Islands. Six sedimentary facies are classified, based on grain texture and sedimentary structures in gravity cores. The high-resolution (3.5 ㎑) echo characters are classified into 6 echo facies on the basis of clarity, continuity, and shape of bottom and subbottom echoes together with seafloor topography. Distribution of the echo and sedimentary facies suggest that there was a significant change in sedimentation pattern between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and subsequent glacier-retreating period. When the grounded glaciers extended to the present shelfbreak during LGM, coarse-grained subglacial tills were widespread in the shelf area, and deep troughs in the shelf were carved beneath the fast-flowing ice steam. As the glacial margin retreated landward after LGM, dense meltwater plumes released from the retreating ice-front were funneled along the glacier-carved troughs, and accumulated channel- or cannyon-fill deposits in the shelf and the upper to mid slope. At that time, slope sediments seem to have been reworked by slope failures and unsteady contour currents, and further transported by fine-grained turbidity currents along the South Shetland Trench. After the glacial retreat, sediments in the shelf and slope areas have been mainly introduced by persistent (hemi) pelagic settling, and fine-grained turbidity currents frequently occur along the axis of the South Shetland Trench.

오늘날 기후변화는 기후 시스템을 구성하는 대기, 해양, 생물, 빙하, 육지 등의 다양한 구성요소에 작용하여 자연 생태계와 인간의 사회 및 경제 시스템에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 특히 최근 인간의 활동에 의해 야기된 기후변화는 극치적인 기후 현상의 빈도와 강도에 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 기후변화 현상은 수환경 시스템, 하천 생태계와 유역관리 등의 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 심각한 문제를 발생시킨다. 이에 따른 수자원의 효율적인 관리와 안정적인 물공급에 어려움을 증대시킬 것으로 전망되며, 현재 이것은 각 분야별로 해결해야 할 범지구적 문제로 인식되고 있다. 기후변화를 탐지하고 예측하기 위해서는 SRES 배출시나리오를 이용한 미래의 기후변화 장기시나리오가 필요한데, 이를 위한 기본적인 도구로 전지구기후모형(Global Climate Models, GCMs)이 있다. 기후변화에 따른 지역적 차원의 수자원에의 영향 분석을 위해서는 GCMs의 결과를 바탕으로 지역 규모에서의 기후 자료로 변환하는 규모내림(downscaling) 기법을 이용한다. 본 연구는 기후변화 분석의 가장 기본이라 할 수 있는 국내에 적합한 GCM의 선정 및 우리나라의 시공간적 기상패턴의 정밀한 구현을 위한 규모내림기법의 적용을 통하여 실시하였다. 현재 뿐 아니라 미래 90년간 (2011년 ~ 2100년)의 기상 자료를 생산하고 이를 SWAT 모형에 적용하였다. 이러한 GCMs-규모내림-SWAT 모형으로 이어지는 시나리오 기반의 기후변화에 대한 낙동강 유역의 유출 분석은 기후변화 연구에 기술적 방법론의 제시와 함께 앞으로 타 유역에의 적용을 통하여 보다 정량적이고 신뢰성 있는 전국 단위의 기후변화에 따른 유출 분석연구의 기초가 될 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

Quantitative stability assessment of underground cavities can be presented as a factor of safety based on the Shear Strength Reduction Method (SSRM). Also, SSRM is one of the stability evaluation methods commonly used in slope stability analysis. However, there is a lack of research that considers the relationship between the probability of occurrence of cavities in the ground and the potential failure surface of the slope at the same time. In this study, the effect of small underground cavities on the failure behavior of the slope was analyzed by using SSRM. Considering some of the glaciology studies, there is a case that suggests that there is a cavity effect inside the glacier in the condition that the glacier slides. In this study, the stability evaluation of underground cavities and slope stability analysis, where SSRM is used in geotechnical engineering field, was carried out considering simultaneous conditions. The slope stability analysis according to the shape and position change of underground cavities which are likely to occur in the lower part of a mountain road was analyzed by using SSRM in FLAC3D software and the influence of underground cavities on the slope factor of safety was confirmed. If there are underground cavities near slope potential failure surface, it will affect the calculation of a factor of safety. The results of this study are expected to be basic data on slope stability analysis with small underground cavities.

Benthic foraminiferal assemblage and AMS radiocarbon dating of core sediments from the northern shelf of the East China Sea were analyzed in order to understand the paleoenvironment and sedimentary environmental changes around the Korean marginal seas since the last glacial maximum (LGM). The core sediments, containing continuous records of the last 16,000 years, reveal a series of well-defined vertical changes in number of species (S), P/T ratio and species diversity (H) as well as foraminiferal assemblage. Such down-core variations display a sharp change at a core depth of approximately 240 cm, which corresponds to ca. 10,000 year B.P. The sediments of the lower part of the core (240${\sim}$560 cm, Zone I), including the well-developed tide-influenced sedimentary structures, are characterized by high abundances of Ammonia beccarii and Elphidium clavatum (s.l.) and low values in number of species, P/T ratio and diversity. These tide-influenced signatures and foraminiferal assemblage characters suggest that the sediments of Zone I were deposited in a coastal environment (water depths of 20${\sim}$30 m) such as tidal estuary with an influence of the paleo-rivers (e.g., old-Huanghe and Yangtze rivers) during the early phase of the sea-level rise (ca. 16,000 to 10,000 years) since the LGM. In contrast, the upper core sediments (0${\sim}$240 cm, Zone II) are characterized by abundant Eilohedra nipponica and Bolivina robusta with a minor contribution of A. ketienziensis angulata and B. marginata. and high values in number of species, P/T ratio and diversity. Based on relative abundance of these assemblage, Zone II can be divided into two subzones (IIa and IIb). Zone IIa is interpreted to be deposited under the inner-to-middle shelf environment during the marine transgression in the early Holocene (after ca. 9,000 yr B.P.) when sea level rapidly increased. The sediments of zone IIb most likely deposited after 6,000 yr B.P. under the outer shelf environment (80${\sim}$100 m water depth), which is similar to modem depositional environments. The muddy sediments of zone IIb were probably transported from the old-Huanghe and Yangtze Rivers during the late Holocene. We suggest that the present-day oceanographic conditions over the Yellow and the East China Seas have been established after ca. 7,000${\sim}$6,000 yr B.P. when the Kuroshio Current began to influence this area.
