This study investigates a neotectonic context of the past 5 Ma for the Otway Ranges along the southern Victoria coast, SE Australia by evaluating the distribution and development of marine terraces along the mountainous coastal area. Uplift rate derived from low terrace deposits using OSL dating method is determined to evaluate the extent to which mild intraplate tectonism has the capability to influence the geomorphic evolution of continental interiors. This study also investigates the stratigraphic relationship between Quaternary marine terraces and Pliocene strandlines, which suggests a change of tectonic activity in the Late Neogene. The intensified tectonic response is well addressed in terms of an increase of the Australian intraplate stress level due to the change of relative motion and increased forces in the boundary between the Australian and Pacific plate.

This study aims to investigate the formation and sedimentary environment including formative period, grain composition and climate change from loess-paleosol sequence deposited on a gravel bed of river terrace in the Jincheon Basin, Chungbuk Province. The Jincheon section consists downward of a surface layer, loess-paleosol sequence, transitional layer I, transitional layer II and gravel bed. It can be suggested from the OSL age dating that the sequence was deposited during MIS 6 to 4. The sequence can be divided into four horizons based on the variation in the magnetic susceptibility values. Grain size analysis reveals that the sequence indicates similar properties of grain size to loess deposits in Korea and especially, the Y values in the sequence are lower than those in the loess and paleosol horizons in the Chinese Loess Plateau and similar to those in the Red Clay in the Chinese Loess Plateau and Xiashu loess in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. These Y values in the sequence can be attributed to the remote source and/or experience of intensive weathering process after deposition in the Korean Peninsula.

수문조사 방법 및 기준은 각 국가별 기후, 유역 및 하천특성에 따라 다르게 제시되고 있으며, 세계기상기구(WMO)나 국제표준화기구(ISO)에서는 국제적으로 통용될 수 있는 기준을 제시하고 있다. 대부분의 국가에서는 국제기구 또는 수문조사 선진국(미국, 일본, 영국 등)에서 제시한 기준 및 방법을 도입하여 적용하고 있으며, 국내의 경우도 국제기준과 더불어 미국의 기준과 우리나라와 기후, 지형 및 하천특성이 비슷한 일본의 기준을 많은 부분에서 도입하였다. 유속계에 의한 유량측정 시 측선수를 늘리면 정확도를 높일 수 있지만 대하천 또는 수위(유속)가 급변하는 경우에는 측선수를 많이 해서 측정시간이 길어지면 오히려 정확도를 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 특히, 국내에서 홍수시 신속한 측정에 사용되는 부자와 전자파표면유속계는 기존의 회전식유속계 측선수 기준을 적용하는 것은 적합하지 않다. 이에 따라, 우리나라 수문조사 전담기관인 한국수자원조사기술원에서는 전자파표면유속계 측선수 기준을 실무적으로 제시하고 있으나 이에 대한 기술적인 검토가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 2016년~2020년까지 한국수자원조사기술원에서 측정된 58개 지점의 총 739개의 전자파표면유속계 측정성과에 대하여 수면폭 및 측선수 현황을 살펴보았다. 한국수자원조사기술원 일반기준 이상 측선수 비율은 646개(87.4%), 긴급기준 이상 측선수 비율은 739개(100.0%) 그리고 전체 평균값 이상 측선수 비율은 404개(54.7%)로 나타났다. 일반기준 이상 측선수가 많은 원인을 파악해보기 위하여 측선수를 최대구간유량비 20% 이상일 때까지 측선수를 10%씩 감소하여 산정된 유량의 변화를 검토하였다. 유량 변화 검토 결과 현장에서 유량측정 시 측선수의 등유량 배치, 최대구간유량비(20%) 및 불확도(±10%) 기준을 준수하기 위해서 기준 이상의 측선수를 확보하는 경향으로 판단되었다. 이러한 문제를 해소하기 위하여 측선수 감소에 따른 유량 편차율 ±10%와 불확도 ±10% 조건을 만족하는 수면폭 구간별 최소 기준을 제시하였으며, 이 기준을 적용할 경우 전자파표면유속계로 현장에서 보다 신속하고 정확한 유량측정을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Stream inflows induced by flood runoffs have a higher density than the ambient reservoir water because of a lower water temperature and elevated suspended sediment(SS) concentration. As the propagation of density currents that formed by density difference between inflow and ambient water affects reservoir water quality and ecosystem, an understanding of reservoir density current is essential for an optimization of filed monitoring, analysis and forecast of SS and nutrient transport, and their proper management and control. This study was aimed to quantify the characteristics of inflow density current including plunge depth($d_p$) and distance($X_p$), separation depth($d_s$), interflow thickness($h_i$), arrival time to dam($t_a$), reduction ratio(${\beta}$) of SS contained stream inflow for different flood magnitude in Daecheong Reservoir with a validated two-dimensional(2D) numerical model. 10 different flood scenarios corresponding to inflow densimetric Froude number($Fr_i$) range from 0.920 to 9.205 were set up based on the hydrograph obtained from June 13 to July 3, 2004. A fully developed stratification condition was assumed as an initial water temperature profile. Higher $Fr_i$(inertia-to-buoyancy ratio) resulted in a greater $d_p,\;X_p,\;d_s,\;h_i$, and faster propagation of interflow, while the effect of reservoir geometry on these characteristics was significant. The Hebbert equation that estimates $d_p$ assuming steady-state flow condition with triangular cross section substantially over-estimated the $d_p$ because it does not consider the spatial variation of reservoir geometry and water surface changes during flood events. The ${\beta}$ values between inflow and dam sites were decreased as $Fr_i$ increased, but reversed after $Fr_i$>9.0 because of turbulent mixing effect. The results provides a practical and effective prediction measures for reservoir operators to first capture the behavior of turbidity inflow.

This research calculated the scour depth of bridge according to inflow and outflow changes of stream's flood discharge and curves by applying scour depth formula for piers and abutments, and by comparing and examining them, evaluated the applicability of scour depth formulas. Overall, if the angles of flood discharge and inflow and outflow increase, the deviation rate of scour depth in bight increased. Especially the deviation rate was 58% at the inflow and outflow angle of $105^{\circ}$ that the bridge plan for this geography need careful examination. Next, as a result of calculating the deviation rate of scour depth at the bight by scour depth formulas, in case of pier, Andru formula showed 58% deviation rate, Laursen formula showed 26% deviation rate, and CSU. formula showed 17% deviation rate. In the case of abutment, Froehlich formula shows 44% deviation rate that when applying above scour depth formulas, scour depth calculation considering repairable characteristics of bight is necessary. Finally, about inflow and outflow angles of $45^{\circ}{\sim}135^{\circ}$ that showed big deviation rate of scour depth, this research performed regression analysis of deviation rates of scour depth due to flood discharge to suggest the regression formula.

우리나라는 산악지역이 국토의 대부분을 차지하고 있어 전체유역을 놓고 볼 때 대하천이 차지하는 부분보다는 중소하천이 차지하는 부분이 상대적으로 크고, 교량의 길이가 짧은 소교량이 수적으로 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 그중에서도 특히 중소하천의 유량은 시간적으로 매우 빠르게 변화하며 유속 또한 급속히 빨라져 하상의 변형이 순식간에 일어나고 있다. 이와 같은 시간적, 공간적인 호우특성과 지형특성으로 인하여 중소하천에 위치한 교량은 특히 세굴에 매우 취약함을 보여주고 있다. 하천에 건설되는 교량의 수명이나 안정성에 세굴이 미치는 영향은 매우 크며, 특히 우리나라와 같이 홍수 시 단기간에 걸쳐 유량이 급증하는 경우 유속에 의한 교량 기초의 급격한 세굴은 예상치 못한 교량 붕괴 사고를 초래할 수 있다. 현재 국내 소하천에 설치된 교량은 약 3,470개소(지방도 기준)로 다양한 하부구조로 설계되어 있다. 이렇게 하천 내에 세워진 교량과 같은 횡단 구조물들은 그 크기에 상관없이 하천의 형태에 영향을 미치게 된다. 그중에서 교량 세굴은 하천 횡단구조물로 인하여 발생되는 가장 중요한 문제 중의 하나로써 교량 건설 시 교각에 영향을 주는 세굴을 예측하고 방어하기 위하여 다양한 방정식을 통하여 신설교량의 교각세굴을 예측한다. 하지만 대부분의 교량 세굴 공식들은 실험실에서의 실험 결과를 토대로 개발되었기 때문에 이들 공식들이 산정한 국소 세굴량이 얼마나 정확한지는 실제 현장 관측 자료와의 비교를 통해서만 검증할 수 있다. 세굴 공식들의 산정 결과를 현장 실측자료와 비교하는 연구는 그 동안 다양하게 시도되었으나, 통일된 결론에는 도달하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 세굴깊이 산정 시 일반적으로 사용되어지고 있는 세굴공식들 중 소하천 교량 규모에 적용 가능한 공식들을 선별하고, 각 세굴심 추정공식에 속한 변수별 특성분석을 위하여, 5가지의 독립변수를 설정하여 국부세굴의 현장 측정값과 예측공식의 비교결과에 대하여 불일치율을 비교분석하였다. 그 결과, 모든 공식들의 불일치율의 기하 평균이 1보다 큰 것을 보여주고 있다. 즉, 모든 공식들이 과대 추정의 의미로 정확성면에서 우수한 공식들은 불일치율의 기하 평균이 1에 가깝고 기하 표준편차가 작은 공식들이 나타났으며, 이런 점에서 Froehlich 공식, Inglis-Poona II, Blench-Inglis I, Breusers 공식 등의 기하평균이 1에 가장 근접한 결과를 나타내었다. 각 세굴공식 세굴심 산정결과의 불일치율을 각각 5가지의 변수별로 도시하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과로 소하천에 대하여 적용 가능한 공식과 소하천에 적용 시에는 과다추정의 우려가 있는 공식으로 분류되어 면밀한 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

To predict the future distribution of forest vegetation, the present forest stand distributions of South Korea were represented by multinomial logit model with the following environmental variables: summer average precipitation, the coldest month average temperature, elevation, degree of base saturation, and soil organic matter. The future forest community was predicted by applying the MIROC3.2 hires A1B scenario. The future climate data were downscaled by statistically method. The coldest month average temperature increased $4.4^{\circ}C$, $6.0^{\circ}C$, and $9.4^{\circ}C$, and 3 months average precipitation changed -1.2%, 5.7%, and 5.3% for 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s respectively. For the projected summer precipitation and the coldest temperature, the future deciduous and mixed forests in the study area increased 56.9% and 8.3% and the coniferous forest decreased 11.2% in 2080s based on present.

Ulleungdo, a volcanic island, has different climate, soil, and topography characteristics from inland of the Korean Peninsula. Its agriculture also exhibits distinctive features. This study focused on floristic compositions and characteristics of crop lands in Ulleungdo. Flora surveys were conducted for 37 areas three times, one in May of 2016, one in July of 2020, and one in August of 2020. Results showed that vascular plants of crop lands in Ulleungdo included 186 taxa of 53 families, 132 genera, 160 species, 14 varieties, five subspecies, and five hybrids. Asteraceae had the most diverse species (33 taxa), followed by Poaceae (25 taxa), Fabaceae (12 taxa), Polygonaceae (11 taxa), and Liliaceae (nine taxa). The biological type of crop lands in Ulleungdo island was determined to be Th-R₅-D₄-e type. Rare plants were found for nine taxa: Athyrium acutipinnulum Kodama ex Nakai, Sedum takasimense Nakai, Rubus takesimensis Nakai, Dystaenia takesimana (Nakai) Kitag., Ligustrum foliosum Nakai, Aster pseudoglehni Y.Lim, Cirsium nipponicum (Maxim.) Makino, Lilium hansonii Leichtlin ex D.D.T.Moore, and Polygonatum robustum (Korsh.) Nakai. In addition, 45 taxa contained naturalized plants of 13 families, 33 genera, 44 species, and one variety. Urbanization and naturalization indices were 13.9%, and 24.2%, respectively.

Limit equilibrium methods of slope stability analysis have been widely adopted mainly due to their simplicity and applicability. However, the conventional methods may not give reliable and convincing results for various geological conditions such as nonhomogeneous and anisotropic soils. Also, they do not take into account soil slope history nor the initial state of stress, for example excavation or fill placement. In contrast to the limit equilibrium analysis, the analysis of deformation and stress distribution by finite element method can deal with the complex loading sequence and the growth of inelastic zone with time. This paper proposes a technique to determine the critical slip surface as well as to calculate the factor of safety for shallow failure on partially saturated soil slope. Based on the effective stress field in finite element analysis, all stresses are estimated at each Gaussian point of elements. The search strategy for a noncircular critical slip surface along weak points is appropriate for rainfall-induced shallow slope failure. The change of unit weight by seepage force has an effect on the horizontal and vertical displacements on the soil slope. The Drucker-Prager failure criterion was adopted for stress-strain relation to calculate coupling hydraulic and mechanical behavior of the partially saturated soil slope.

This research concerns with the urbanization in Pusan City, the largest port city of Korea focus on the changes of traffic volume from 1970 to 1994. These results are as follow: (1) Urbanization of Pusan City has progressed with increasing the efficiencies of streets. At the first, it's ribbon developed along the main artery toward inland. Urbanization is the process of bear a resemblance to characteristics of CBD. It has both expansion and diffusion processed, simultaneously. Urbanization has progressed centered certain nuclei and developed with more varieties are ally and temporally. (2) Traffic volumes according to times which go and return to piers affected to the traffic pattern of the some parts within the city, it is one of characteristics in port city. Variation of traffic volumes according to times much greater at the nearer streets the piers and connected street with it than the rest of the areas within the city. Rivers and mountains affecting to the traffic pattern and play roles of diffusion barriers for urbanization. (3) In the mid-1980, regions which locate along the main arteries had reached to as same level of urbanization as central part of the city. And higher ranked central places within Pusan City developed toward pattern of CBD in the past. It suggests that these central places revoluted to the recreation of CBD function in the past. (4) Urbanization has developed as same as cell differentiation in process, and it encouraged the more greater variation among the regions and become clear the hierarchy of central places within the city.
