This study analyzes altitude changes of riverbed at 6 bridges in the upper and lower reaches of Yeongju Dam in Naeseong River, from 2009 to 2016 just before and after the dam construction. For 5 years from November 2010 to December 2015 when the dam was under construction, approximately 0.091m of the riverbed altitude in average more than twice before the dam construction was lowered, because of the effects of riverbed excavation for riverside maintenance in the upper reaches and transport limitation of flow and sediment by the dam in the lower reaches. Between November 2009 and December 2016 when the dam was in pre-construction and post-construction stages, respectively, the most sites in this study in the upper and lower reaches showed lowering in the riverbed altitudes. On the other hand, the riverbed around Hoeryongpo closed to the river mouth seems to be influenced by channel changes in Nakdong River rather than by the dam construction.

This study statistically investigates relationships between physical properties of rocks and topography by measuring and analyzing section, topographical and measured parameters of 58 bedrock outcrops at areas covered by gneiss, schist, granite, andesite, sandstone and limestone in the Korean Peninsula. Multiple linear regression analysis suggests that the joint spacing, joint continuity, weathering grade and maximum joint width of rocks among the measured parameters are related to the topographical parameters with statistical significances. Therefore, this study suggests that rock properties such as joint spacing, joint continuity, weathering grade and maximum joint width seem to greatly influence topography, although various factors can affect topographical parameters.

This study estimates relationships between physical and chemical weathering indices of various rock types and topographical relief. Physical weathering properties such as rock strength and joint and chemical weathering indices such as the $SiO_2/Al2O_3$, CIA and WPI were analyzed from 18 rock outcrops in mountain and valley areas consisting of 9 rock types. The results indicate that the elevation and relief of topography increase physical strength of rock increases. It can be suggested that the total r(rock-mass strength rating) and R(rock rebound strength by Schmidt Hammer) are most useful indices as a quantitative weathering property factor to explain formative causes of topographical relief. The results also suggest that rock types such as sandstone, granite, gneiss and schist are most suitable to explain meaningful difference in topographical relief with the physical and chemical weathering indices.

Wetlandsis developing on the lava plateau in Eundae-ri, even though there are no majorstreams into this area. As a result of drilling, 1~2m clay layer is founded under the superficial formations of the wetland, which are the main reasons for formation of the wetlands by limiting vertical drainage. The clay layer's Granulometry/XRD show very different characteristics from in situ weathering of basalt, and since 2~3cm of sand layer exist within the profile, the clay layer seems to be supplied and deposited from outside through surface/sheet flows. To keep the wetlands sustainably, the supply of water into the wetlands has to be increased by restoring the surface/sheet flow which is limited or deformed by pavement road.

Coastal dunes play an important role in coastal defense. The Moraeul dune in Daecheongdo Island is representative in this regard. However, there is little knowledge, concerning the morphology, grain size, and formation timing of the dune. This study investigated the geomorphological characteristics of the Moraeul dune using topographic surveys, grain size analyses, and OSL dating. The dune was classified as 'single accreted foredune', which was developed under dense vegetation cover and efficient sand trapping. The dune consisted of fine to medium sand with 1.6Φ of mean grain size, and was covered with pine trees (> 100 years old). The samples from the upper part of the dune yielded quartz OSL ages ranging 0.5 ~ 0.7 ka. Therefore, it is likely that the dune developed at least before the Little Ice Age and became what it is today about one century ago.

Gaemok, the place name of Uihang-ri, Sowon-myeon, Taean-gun, Chungnam, indicates a tombolo. This study estimated the Holocene sea level change and development process of the coastal landforms of the Gaemok and Hwanyeong Tombolos in the Uihang coast. The tombolos seemed to form at approximately 3.4 ka and the average sea level at that time was estimated to be higher than that of the present by ca. 1 m. The Gaemok area was a separated island from the Taean peninsula during the Holocene Climatic Optimum. At approximately 3.4 ka when the sea level rose again after the fall, the Gaemok area was tied to the land by formation of the Gaemok and Hwanyeong Tombolos. The falling or fluctuating sea levels after 3.4 ka have shaped the present coastal landforms.

The drainage area of the Miho stream is composed of granitic basins, gneissic and sedimentary mountains. 80 percent of the Miho stream flows through the Jincheon basin and the Cheongju inner-plain within the Daebo granite belt. Because the deep weathering of granitic hills provides a large amount of sands to the streams, there are wide floodplains with thick alluvium developed in the basin and plain. The thickness of the alluvium is 5~10m and the width of the floodplains is 2~2.5km. In the basin outlet area where a stream passes through the mountain canyon, wide floodplains and deep alluvium are developed in other riverside. The Miho stream is a sand-gravel channel flowing through the Cheongju inner-plain with wide floodplains and deep alluvium formed by deep weathering of granite.

한반도 남서부 해남 어란지역 사면에는 현재의 유수작용이나 암석낙하와 같은 직접적인 중력작용만으로 형성되기 어려운 조립질과 세립질이 교호하는 사면퇴적물이 존재한다. 이런 사면은 현생 혹은 과거 주빙하 환경에서 자주 관찰되는 성층사면(stratified slope)으로 흔히 그레즈-리테와 stratified scree로 불려지는 것들이다. 본 사면에 대해서 지형학적 및 퇴적학적 특성의 분석과 기존 연구결과를 통해서 사면의 형성의 프로세스를 추정하였다. 특히 (1) 배후산지의 기반암은 Franco(1990)가 지적한 동결 수용성이 민감한 암석의 특성으로 동결파쇄(congelifraction)되어 다량의 암설과 미립질을 공급할 수 있었다. (2) 사면의 직선적 평활성과 암설의 크기와 량이 사면아래 방향으로 갈수록 줄어드는 것은 중력작용을 유도하는 주빙하 환경에서 가능한 이동 메카니즘을 갖고 있다. (3) 조립질과 세립질의 교호는 현생 및 과거 주빙하 환경에서 잘 나타나는 stratified slope이다. 이상에서 연구지역의 사면퇴적물은 현재의 기후환경이 아닌 과거 플라이스토신의 한랭 습윤한 주빙하성 기후환경의 산물로 볼 수 있는 성층사면으로 주빙하 기후환경의 화석지형이다. 그 외 당시의 해수면 변동과 관련된 해안단구, 고사구 지형 등이 함께 나타나고 있어 한반도 남서부의 제4기 고기후 지형환경의 이해에 좋은 예가 되고 있어 더 많은 연구가 요구되고 있다.

충남 아산시 용두천 유역과 온양천 유역(이하 조사유역)에서 확인된 총 177기의 청동기시대 주거지(이하 주거지)를 대상으로 최적 입지의 지형환경을 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해 주거지가 확인된 조사유역의 구릉을 11개의 사면 미지형으로 구분하고 이를 다시 5개의 경사도 등급과 조합하여 총 55개의 극미지형으로 세분하였다. 이를 바탕으로 '미지형별 경사도' 관점에서 조사유역의 '주거지 수'와 '주거지 분포밀도(단위: 주거지수/1000m²)'를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 주거지가 입지하는 최적의 지형 환경은 크게 5개의 극미지형 - ① 정부사면의 준완경사지, ② 정부사면의 완경사지, ③ 상부곡벽사면의 경사지, ④ 정부사면의 평탄지, ⑤ 정부평탄면의 평탄지-인 것으로 확인되었다. 본 분석자료는 향후 조사유역에 매장되어 있을 아산지역 청동기시대 주거지의 분포 예측 연구에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, we investigated the grain size, lithological type, and shape of coarse bed materials in the upper and middle reaches of Gongneungcheon River. For this purpose, 11 sampling points were selected along the river. For 100 samples of the coarse bed materials at each point, three axes (long, intermediate, and short) of samples were measured, and their lithological types were also identified. By measuring grain size, the sphericity and flatness of samples were calculated. Finally, every particle was classified into four shape categories: sphere, disc, blade and rod. We found that the grain size in incised meandering reach is the largest. This is mainly due to the supply of coarse materials from steep valley sides along the meandering channel. According to the lithological analysis, all samples were identified as granite, gneiss and schist, and quartz. The proportion of granite decreased, whereas the proportion of gneiss and schist increased downstream. These patterns indicate that the bedrock distribution within the study area accounts for the downstream lithological variation of coarse bed materials. With regard to the grain shape, sphericity gradually decreased while flatness gradually increased downstream. In the case of the shape classification, unlike the general downstream pattern of grain shape, the proportion of the sphere type decreased and the proportion of the blade type increased downstream. Such a reversal change in the downstream direction turns out to be determined by the lithology (such as foliation, bedding and the pattern of weathering) of coarse bed materials.
