In this study, two viable measures of mean length and cumulative thickness of sand layers as important spatial statistics responsible for optimal SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) location for oil sand development were compared. For the comparisons, various deposits composed of sand and clay media were realized using a geostatistical simulator and the extent of steam chamber is simulated using multiphysics numerical simulator (dualphase flow and heat transfer). Based on the spatial statistics of each realization and the corresponding size of simulated steam chamber, the representativeness of two candidate measures (cumulative thickness and mean length of permeable media) were compared. The results of the geostatistical and SAGD simulations suggest that the mean length of permeable media is better correlated to the size of steam chamber than the cumulative thickness. Given those two-dimensional results, it is concluded that the cumulative thickness of the permeable media alone may not be a sufficient criterion for determining an optimal SAGD location and the mean length needs to be complementarily considered for the sound selections.

The magnitude 5.4 earthquake occurred in 2017 near 7.5 km north of Buk-gu, Pohang. In order to find out the characteristics of microtremor in Buk-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where earthquake damage occurred significantly, a total of 39 points were acquired to analyze the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR). Microtremor vary from region to region, so the resonant frequency of the region is obtained by examining the microtremor. For Thickness analysis, we analyze the structure and properties of shear wave velocity (Vs) up to the underlying rock to compare resonance frequencies to match the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis technique against nearby boring data. Using F₀ = V_s/4H with a resonance frequency of alluvium is 1.3 ± 0.07 Hz and a resonance frequency of Yeonil group is 0.69 ± 0.22 Hz, the alluvium thickness was found to be 26~30 m and the Yeonil group thickness was 170~250 m.

Multibeam and seismic data in the northwestern part of the Ulleung Basin were analyzed to study stratigraphy and evolutionary history of submarine canyon. A detailed analysis reveals that the sedimentary sequences in this area consist of four stratigraphic units separated by erosional unconformities. On the continental slope, these units are dominated by well-stratified facies with some slope failures, whereas these units show well-stratified and chaotic facies toward the basin floor. Generally, the sediment thickness is relatively thin on the slope, whereas thick sediment accumulation occurs on the base of slope and basin floor. Based on seismic characteristics and distribution, the deposition of each units are well correlated with the evolutionary history of the submarine canyon. Unit 1 directly overlying the acoustic basement has thin sediment layer on the slope, whereas its thickness gradually increase toward the basin floor. Compared to other units, Unit 2 is relatively thick accumulations on the slope and contains some slope failures related to faults systems. The mass transport sediments due to slope failures, mainly deposited on the base of slope as a submarine fan. The width and depth of submarine canyon increase due to dominant of the erosional process rather than the sediment deposition. Unit 3 is thin accumulation on the slope around the submarine canyon. Toward the basin floor, its thickness gradually increases. Unit 4 is characterized by thin layers including slides and slumps on the slope, whereas it formed thick accumulations at the base of slope as a submarine fan. The increase in the width and depth of submarine canyon results from the dominant of the erosional process and slope failures around the submarine canyon. Consequently, the formation of sedimentary units combined with the development of submarine canyon in this area is largely controlled by the amounts of sediment supply originated from slope failures, regional tectonic effects and sea-level fluctuations.

한반도 중부지방의 사면형성과정을 검토하기 위하여 이 지역에 광범위하게 분포하는 쥬라기의 화강암과 선캄브리아기의 편마암으로 구성된 산지 소유역에서 수문관측을 실시하였다. 화강암 유역의 면적은 0.0546$\textrm{km}^2$이며, 기복비는 0.35이다. 편마암 유역은 다소 넓어 면적은 0.0754$\textrm{km}^2$이나 기복비는 0.36으로 거의 같다. 두 유역의 사면은 모두 사림으로 피복되어 있다. 관입시험 결과에 의하면 화강암유역 토층의 층후는 20cm 이하로 얇고 도처에 기반암이 보출된다. 반면에 편마암 유역의 층후는 50cm 이상으로 상대적으로 두껍게 나타난다. 관측은 1999년 5월부터 시작하였으며, 현재도 계속되고 있다. 강우에 대한 유출방응은 편마암 유역이 화강암 유역에 비하여 신속하게 나타난다. 첨두유량과 기저유량 모두 화강암유역보다는 편마암유역에 전반적으로 높게 관측되어 편마암 유역 사면에서의 저류량이 큰 것으로 생각된다. 또한 편마암사면에서 우수의 체류시간을 반영하여 전기전도도는 편마암 유역이 화강암유역보다 2배 정도 높게 관측된다.

In the study, three-dimensional geostatistical simulations on McMurray Formation which is the largest oil sand reservoir in Athabasca area, Canada were performed, and the optimal site for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) was selected based on the predictions. In the selection, the factors related to the vertical extendibility of steam chamber were considered as the criteria for an optimal site. For the predictions, 110 borehole data acquired from the study area were analyzed in the Markovian transition probability (TP) framework and three-dimensional distributions of the composing media were predicted stochastically through an existing TP based geostatistical model. The potential of a specific medium at a position within the prediction domain was estimated from the ensemble probability based on the multiple realizations. From the ensemble map, the cumulative thickness of the permeable media (i.e. Breccia and Sand) was analyzed and the locations with the highest potential for SAGD applications were delineated. As a supportive criterion for an optimal SAGD site, mean vertical extension of a unit permeable media was also delineated through transition rate based computations. The mean vertical extension of a permeable media show rough agreement with the cumulative thickness in their general distribution. However, the distributions show distinctive disagreement at a few locations where the cumulative thickness was higher due to highly alternating juxtaposition of the permeable and the less permeable media. This observation implies that the cumulative thickness alone may not be a sufficient criterion for an optimal SAGD site and the mean vertical extension of the permeable media needs to be jointly considered for the sound selections.

This study aimed to identify differences in soil properties and geological characteristics between slow-moving landslide prone areas and areas without landslide (control areas) in the Republic of Korea. During this 3-year field surveys (2019-2021), 11 soil and geological parameters were measured at 300 sites, i.e., 107 slow-moving landslide prone areas and 193 control areas. T-tests were conducted to identify differences in field-observed parameters between the two areas, followed by χ²-tests and density plots considering distribution patterns of the sample groups. We identified statistically significant differences between the areas in terms of soil internal friction angle, weathered rock thickness, bedrock thickness, and number of major geological anomaly zones. In conclusion, slow-moving landslide prone areas exhibited significant differences in geological characteristics, such as stratum thickness and presence of anomaly zones, compared with the control areas. To better understand the relationship between the geological characteristics identified in this study and the occurrence of slow-moving landslides, further field data collection and systematic analyses are warranted.

남악지역에 분포하는 조간대 퇴적층의 층서구조와 퇴적심도 및 기반암의 단열구조를 파악하기 위한 전기비저항탐사를 실시하였다. 조간대 퇴적물에서 비저항은 하부로 갈수록 증가하며 대부분 3.0 Ohm-m이하의 비저항으로 고비저항의 기반암의 기반암과 뚜렷한 경계를 보여준다. 퇴적층의 층후는 퇴적지 중앙부에서 30m를 최대로 북쪽 (고해안선)과 남쪽 (영산강)으로 갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보여주는데 선행 조사된 시추결과와 일치한다. 일부 지역의 전기비저항 해석단면과 시추단면에서 견고한 점토질 (stiff)의 지층이 분포하는데 이 지층은 북서-남동 방향의 고해안선과 나란하게 분포한다. 이것은 퇴적물을 공급한 흐름의 방향과 조간대의 확장방향이 북서-남동 방향임을 지시한다. 기반암의 단열구조로 판단되는 저비저항대는 조사지역의 동부에 집중되어 있으며 단열대의 연장방향은 북서-남동 방향이 우세하다.

Estuary of River Nakdong(in south-eastern coast of Korean Peninsula) is the most representative site of delta in Korea. This study is to elucidate morpho-structural background associated with the embayment area and sedimentation processes, having allowed development of the delta. In this area, Great morphological trait of the embayment area had been formulated by differential erosion exploiting regional fracture system(NNE-SSW, NNW-SSE, E-W,...) of tectonic origin. For this reason, outline of the embayment basin shows quadrangular plan, and ridges and dissected valleys of neighbouring mountains draw frequently morphological lineament pattern. At the last glacial age when delta deposit had not yet filled the actual embayment basin of the Nakdong, mechanical weathering(frost shattering) and mass-movement processes had provided detritus materials composed of blocks, boulders on bottom the basin. With the postglacial transgression in the Holocene, the basin had been submerged, then began to be filled with fluvio-marine deposits from Kimhae-Yangsan area toward actual estuarine zone, so that Nakdong delta have been formed. Analysis and synthesis of from hundreds of boring data of the delta area reveal that progression of delta formation have been accompanied with the development of barrier islands. If the barrier islands had grown as forming a plural row, then their intervals have posteriorly filled with another fluvio-marine deposits. Besides, it shows that delta deposits are essentially alluvial. However, at the periphery of the delta, intervention of fine marine deposits is frequently found.
