The study investigated the physicochemical characteristics and the ecological risk of the Northport sediment in B city and the releasing properties of heavy metals into seawater during the resuspension also studied. The major components of the sediment are fine silt and clay which contains high organic matter and AVS (Acid volatile sulfide) and the ecological risk of the heavy metals in sediment also very high. The release rate of heavy metals into seawater was in order of Pb>>Cu>Cr>>Zn>Cd during the resuspension in a batch experiment, and the heavy metal release mainly attributed to the oxidation of metal sulfides. Heavy metals which came from easily oxidisable metal sulfides rapidly contaminated seawater within about 1.0 h of the sediment resuspension. The sulfide oxidation during the resuspension increased the residual fraction of heavy metals in the sediment, decreased the organic bound fraction, and changed the other fractions of heavy metals in the sediment. The release of heavy metals from the sediment during resuspension was affected by the resuspension time, the oxidation rate of metal sulfides and resuspended concentration of the sediment particle.

Status of the contaminated sediments in Lake Paldang was investigated. Sediment samples were taken at 34 points and analyzed in terms of ignition loss, CODer, total P and total N. The contamination level did not show any significant variation with depth of the sediments, which indicated the contaminants were recalcitrant. The type of P in the sediment was analyzed, and the sum of adsorbed P and NAI-P, that can be re-solubilized under the reductive condition, was found to be 20-30% of the total P. From the analysis of the water quality change along with the flowing path, it would be concluded that the effect of the sediments on the water quality is insignificant yet in Lake Paldang. However, long term analysis covering at least four seasons should be continued in order to get a more reliable conclusion. A depth profile map of the sediment in Lake Paldang was provided.

본 연구의 목적은 반폐쇄형 오염 수역을 포함해 특히 양식장내 퇴적층과 같이 오염이 상당히 진행된 해저 퇴적물을 효율적, 경제적으로 정화하기 위해 제철 공정에서 나오는 부산물인 제강 슬래그를 복토재로 활용하는 데에 있다. 오염된 퇴적물로부터 대량으로 용출되는 황화수소와 인산염 둥은 양식 생물에 직ㆍ간접적으로 악영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 해역내 부영양화의 주요한 원인이 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

연안퇴적물로 유입되는 유기물은 수중과 해수/퇴적물 계면에서 다양한 생지화학적 반응을 거치면서 재순환되며 일부는 퇴적물로 제거된다. 본 연구는 가막만에서 해역의 특성을 반영하는 대표적 환경인 소호지역, 굴양식장, 어류 양식장 그리고 비교적 교란이 없으리라고 생각되는 지역을 선정하여 이 지역 상부퇴적물에서 일어나는 유기탄소와 암모니아 질소, 인산인의 생지화학적 순환 및 각 성분의 플럭스를 추정하고자 한다. (중략)

한국서해 경기만 남부 반월조간대 퇴적층에서 망간과구리의 함량특성을 밝히기 위 하여 총 3개의 주상시료를 채취하여 퇴적물의 입자와 유기탄소(organic carbon)함량을 일차 적으로 분석하였고 이에 따른 중요 시료에 대하여 망간과 구리의 함량을 분석하였다. 이러 한 분석결과는 연구지역의 망간함량이 연근해역 퇴적물의 망간함량에 비해 낮고 구리함량은 상대적으로 높다. 연구지역 내에서도 환원환경인 중부와 하부조간대에서 망간함량이 낮고 구리의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 이와같이 반월조간대 퇴적물의 망간 함량이 낮은 이유는 환 원환경에 공급괸 망간 산화물이 수 mm 깊이의 퇴적층에서 용해되고 그결과 생성된 용존 망간이 퇴적층과 해수와의 경계면(interface)으로 이동 제거 되었기 때문이다. 그러나 구리- 유기물 결합체는 퇴적물내에서 분해되고 그결과 생성된 용존구리는 황화물로 재 침전 되기 때문에 높은 함량을 나타내는 것으로 해석된다, 이와같은 결과는 반월 조간대 퇴적층의 초 기속작용의 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다.

강조류하의 인공 구조물 주변 해저 침식 및 재퇴적 현상을 연구하기 위하여 1987년 8월 24일 부터 9월 26일 까지 경기만에 발달한 조류성 사퇴위에서 현장 실험을 실시하였다. 인공구조물(원통 물체) 주변에 발달한 침식 구조는 전체적으로는 타원형으로 접시모양을 하고 있으며, 후류 및 이차류에 의한 복합 침식작용에 의한 것으로 분석되었다. 아울러 연속적인 침식구조 크기 측정자료를 이용 산술적으로 침식율$(1.5-20m_3/day)$및 재퇴적율(0.13-0.18gr/cm/sec)를 추정하였다.

내만의 해저퇴적물은 하천이나 외해로부터 유입되어 침강, 응집, 확산, 이동, 재용출 등의 과정에서 수질변화와 저서생물의 서식에 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다(조 등,1982; ASCE, 1992; Kwon and Lee, 1998). 그러므로 해저퇴적물의 변화과정을 이해하기 위해서는 먼저 그 입자 분포의 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다고 생각한다. 이 논문은 오염이 비교적 심한 것으로 알려져 있는 마산만의 여러 정점에서 채취한 해저퇴적물의 입자크기를 측정하고 그 분포의 통계학적 특성을 조사한 것이다. (중략)

Volcanic ash components of Mt. Baekdu were estimated to response the change of water quality environment affected by Mt. Baekdu volcanic ash ejected during eruption. Then the change of water concentrations according to the sedimentation of volcanic ash components were analysed. To estimate volcanic ash components of Mt. Baekdu, similar volcanos were selected through the comparison of main foreign volcano's magma type and the selected volcanic ash components supposed as Baekdu Mountain's. To analyse the change of water concentrations, the change of harmful components affected by volcanic ash sedimentation were analysed and the results were compared with domestic drinking water quality standard. As the result, Al, Cd, F, Fe, Pb, Mg, Cl and Sr could affect to water quality. Among those components, concentrations of Cd, F, Fe, Pb and Mg were estimated to exceed the drinking water quality standard.

For several decades, sediment traps have served as one of the key tools for constraining the biological carbon pump (BCP), a process that vertically exports particulate organic carbon (POC) and associated biogenic materials from marine primary production in surface waters to the deep ocean interior. In this paper, I introduced the general methods, the current status of global sediment trap studies, and importance of it to understand the deep ocean carbon cycling. Recent studies suggest that sinking POC in the deep ocean are more complex and spatio-temporally heterogeneous than we considered. Especially researches those studied resuspended and laterally transported particles are presented. Researches that used organic (radiocarbon; ¹⁴C) and inorganic (Al) tracers to understand the oceanic POC cycling and the significance of resuspended particles are reviewed, and the importance of radiocarbon study by using MICADAS (Mini radioCarbon Dating Systems) is emphasized.

The materials generating from volcanic eruption are volcanic gases, lavas and pyroclastic materials. Volcanic ash which has small-grain size (< 2 mm in diameter) can be moved easily and disperse widely, thus it may affect to communities across hundreds of square kilometers. The impacts from volcanic ash fall on people, structures, equipments, plants and livestock largely depend on ash thickness. According to increasing ash thickness, the intensity and area of damage may increase and affect significant damages not to human health but also to infrastructures. To reduce the impacts from volcanic ash fall, we have to establish the guidances about the nature and extent of the hazard and prepare the actions to increase abilities of communities to manage hazard. Although we don't have any experience caused by volcanic ash fall during and after volcanic eruption, we need to prepare the impacts of volcanic ash fall for future eruption in the areas surrounding Korea.
