During the detailed geological survey around the southern Yangsan Fault, we newly found a Quaternary fault outcrop, which cuts unconsolidated sediments. The fault named the Sinwoo site, located in the Sinwoo pasture, Miho-ri, Duseo-myeon, Ulsan metropolitan city, is the first discovered Quaternary fault near the western part of the south Yangsan Fault. In this study, we provide information on characteristics of fault geometry and unconsolidated sediment at Sinwoo site based on the analysis data of topography, drainage, and lineament around the study site. The fault site is situated at pediment slope, but fan-shaped middle terrace, as well as thick sediment exposed at low terrace, indicates that the unconsolidated sediments have been deposited in the alluvial fan environment. The drainage develops to the third-order drainage system, and the first and the second drainage system meet at right angles to each other and form a radial drainage pattern. In addition, the NE-SW direction lineaments can be identified on the basis of the curvature of the river and the step of the topographic relief, running over the Sinwoo site. The fault of $N30-35^{\circ}E/79-82^{\circ}SE$ shows ~ 5.8 m apparent vertical offset and dominantly reverse-slip sense based on slickenline, rotation of pebbles, and drag folding at footwall. However, some discontinuous sediments observed in the footwall are interpreted as fissure-filling materials due to the strike-slip movement. Now, we are under multidisciplinary investigations of additional field survey and age dating in order to determine the evolution of Sinwoo site fault during the Quaternary.

이 논문은 인위적으로 전자파를 발생시켜 이 전자파에 의한 반도체 소자의 피해 효과를 조사한 것이다. 동작주파수가 2.45 GHz인 마그네트론으로부터 발생되는 전자파는 끝단이 개방되어있는 도파관을 통해 자유공간으로 전파되고, 도파관 끝단으로부터 $30\;cm\;{\sim}\;50\;cm$인 지점에 반도체 소자들을 위치시켜 동작상태를 확인하였다. 시험에 사용된 피시험체인 반도채 소자로는 TTL과 CMOS 기반기술의 반도체를 사용하였고, LED 구동회로를 구성하여 LED의 점등 여부로 오동작 및 파괴 여부를 육안 식별하였다. 또한 시험 전후의 반도체 소자 표면을 제거 후 칩 상태를 SEM 분석하였다. 시험 결과 도파관 끝단으로부터 50 cm, 40 cm 떨어진 지점에 반도체 소자를 위치시키고 도파관 끝단에서 발생되는 전자파에 의한 반도체 소자의 피해는 전혀 없었다. 그러나 30 cm 떨어진 지점에서 오동작 및 파괴가 일어났다. 오동작 및 파괴가 일어난 시료의 칩 상태를 SEM 분석한 결과 칩 내부의 onchipwire의 용융으로 인한 파괴와 bondingwire의 완전파괴를 확인할 수 있었다. 위의 시험 결과는 인위적인 전자파 환경에서 반도체 소자의 결합 기구를 해석하는 기초 자료로 활용되며, 전자 장비들의 전자파 장해에 대한 이해에 도움이 되는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the origin of organic matter on sediment at Sindu-ri tidal flat. Grain size, organic matter, C/N ratio and the 13C and δ15N ratio were measured at three stations (Stn. A, B, C) of the tidal flat. As a result, the spatial variation in sediment properties showed that organic matter was related positively to the sediment mud content. Organic matters originating from marine particulate organic matter (marine POM) and fish farm particulate organic matter (fish farm POM) showed sedimentation of organic matters at Stn. A, sandy tidal flat, though terrestial plant (TP) and benthic microalgae (BMA) did at Stn.C, muddy tidal flat. Meanwhile, Stn. B, the intermediate property of Stn. A and C, was affected by marine POM and BMA. Furthermore, it was revealed that the amount and origin of organic matters in the sediments depended on spatial variation, and the factors were different from the stations. Particularly, at the Stn. C, the sediment showed high concentration of TOC in terrestrial organic matter and smaller size particles (< 63 ㎛). These facts suggest the many small size particles and organic matter will affect the sediment environmental condition in the Stn. C.

The purposes of this research are to identify the source and the extent of contamination of nitrate in groundwater in a typical agricultural area. The study area has many livestock raising facilities, rice paddies and grape farms. In order to identify the hydrogeological character, we sampled groundwater and surface water in 27 locations and performed chemical analyses. Nitrate-nitrogen is the major contaminant in this area. Approximately 32 ~ 42% of groundwater samples are over the drinking water limit(10 mg/L) and 77% estimated to be entered from artificial sources. The nitrogen isotope analysis indicates animal waste being the major source of nitrate in water samples. Not only presently operating livestock facilities but also abandoned ones influence groundwater quality for a long time.

In this paper, probabilistic flood risk maps were produced for levee break caused by possible flood scenarios. The results of the previous studies were employed for flood stages corresponding to hydrological extreme event quantified uncertainties and then predicted the location of a levee breach. The breach width was estimated by combining empirical equation considered constant width and numerical modeling considered uncertainties on compound geotechnical component. Accordingly, probabilistic breach outflow was computed and probabilistic inundation map was produced by 100 runs of 2D inundation simulation based on reliability analysis. The final probabilistic flood risk map was produced by combining probabilistic inundation map based on flood hazard mapping methodology. The outcomes of the study would be effective in establishing specified emergency actin plan (EAP) and expect to suggest more economical and stable design index.

Radioactive cesium($^{137}Cs$) can be released into the environment through severe nuclear accidents such as the Chernobyl and Fukushima, The $^{137}Cs$ is one of major monitoring radionuclides due to its chemical toxicity, ${\gamma}$ radiation and long half-life($t_{1/2}=30.2yrs$). It has been known well that illite adsorb selectively and strongly the cesium due to frayed edge sites. The quantity of the FES in the illite could be controlled by weathering processes. Therefore, this study was modified illite samples through artificial weathering in the laboratory to increase sorption efficiency for cesium. Abundant interlayer cations(i.e., K, Ca) were eluted within 1 day, while Si and Al were gradually released from the crystal structure. In addition, broad peaks of XRD indicated the occurrence of chemical weathering. The cesium sorption distribution coefficients increased up to approximately 2 times after the weathering. These results suggested that sorption capacity of illite could be enhanced for cesium through artificial weathering under low temperature.

Characteristics and changes of groundwater qualify were investigated in a riverbank filtration area at Daesan-myeon, Changwon City, Korea. The total dissolved solids (TDS) in groundwater samples collected in October were much less than that in March, indicating the mixing with recharged water from precipitation, as well as the changes of dissolved oxygen profiles at monitoring wells from March to October. Redox processes at depths appeared to trigger Fe and Mn contamination of groundwater in riverbank deposits. Amorphous oxyhydroxides md carbonate minerals such as $MnCO_3$ were probably the reactive phases for dissolved Fe and Mn, respectively. Groundwater contamination by nitrate-nitrogen $(NO_3-N)$ was controlled by the redox processes and subsequent denitrification at the sampled depths. Distribution of $NO_3-N$ concentrations at monitoring wells suggested that the nitrate contaminants were originated from agricultural facilities on the riverbank deposits. Some of monitoring wells, DS-2, D-2, DS-3, SJ-1, and SJ-3, were only partially penetrated into the sand/gravel aquifer, and subsequently, could not fully function to detect the water quality changes for the pumping wells. Proper measures, with regulating agricultural activities in the riverbank deposits, should be carried out to prevent groundwater contamination of the riverbank filtration area.
