시간-면적 기법을 이용해 유역의 수문과정을 묘사하는 분산형 (distributed) 연속 (continuous) 강우유출모형인 HYSTAR의 거동특성과 주요 매개변수에 대한 민감도를 분석하였다. 유역의 수문조건에 따른 모형거동의 변화를 분석하기 위해 연속되는 4개의 개별 강우사상에 대한 민감도를 조사하고 비교하였다. 또한, 매개변수의 상호작용이 민감도 분석결과에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 두 가지 서로 다른 기법 (one-factor-at-a-time 과 all-factor-at-a-time 방법)을 이용하여 산정된 민감도를 비교하였다. 분석결과, 모형의 직접유출량, 첨두유량 및 도달시간 모의결과는 유출곡선번호 (curve number)에 가장 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났으며, 토양의 깊이, van Genuchten 식의 매개변수, 작물계수에 큰 영향을 받았다. 한편, 모의된 기저유출량은 토양의 깊이를 비롯하여 van Genuchten 식의 매개변수, 작물계수 (crop coefficient), 이방성계수 (anisotropic coefficient), 유출곡선번호의 변화에 민감하였다. 매개변수에 대한 민감도는 분석에 이용된 강우사상에 따라 다르게 나타났으며, 유역의 토양수분조건에 따라 다르게 거동하는 모형의 중요한 특성을 잘 반영하였다. 두 가지 서로 다른 기법을 이용한 민감도 분석결과는 모의된 직접유출량 및 기저유출량의 변화가 매개변수의 상호작용에 의해 제한될 수 있음을 보여 주었다. 본 연구는 HYSTAR 모형의 매개변수에 대한 민감도 분석을 통해서 해당 모형의 거동을 정량적으로 보여주었고, 이를 통해 모형의 건전성 (soundness)을 입증할 수 있는 하나의 근거를 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 HYSTAR 모형을 이용한 수문분석 시 보정을 위한 매개변수 선정에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 본 연구결과에서 나타난 민감도의 수문조건 (또는 선정된 강우사상)에 대한 의존성은 연속유출 모형의 민감도 분석을 위한 강우 사상 선정 및 민감도 분석결과의 해석에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Grain size analysis of sediments and soils has been regarded as a one of the most important analytical methods in Earth Sciences. The results of grain size analysis by 10 different pretreatment procedures in loess-paleosol sediments are compared in the study. In spite of the most powerful effectiveness of dispersant(sodium hexametaphosphate) on the dispersions of sediments, the effects show large differences by its treatment orders with HCl. It may result from that $Na^+$ ions in the dispersant may not be able to effectively substitute $Ca^{2+}$ ions in the sediments due to the electrostatic forces between $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions in the dispersant and HCl, respectively. Although $H_2O_2$ and HCl are more effective in dispersion than hot water, they do not affect greatly the dispersions. Therefore, the reliable results of grain size analysis can be obtained by selecting the adequate pretreatment procedures most suitable for the purposes of researches and characteristics of sediments.

SHARP numerical model was used to estimate the interface, ranges and seasonal variations of seawater intrusion. The interface obtained from the SHARP model represented more sensitive to seasonal variations than that estimated from the monitoring wells. When TDS and groundwater velocity vector distributions generated by SUTRA simulations are compared to the interfaces obtained from SHARP simulation, the difference of the range on seawater intrusion is less than 50 m, and the range of seawater intrusion from seasonal variations has the difference of about 12 m. These differences are small for the numerical simulation of the coastal aquifer at regional scale. Therefore, the model with sharp interface is very useful to estimate the interface at this study site, where is regional aquifer system in the scale of seawater infusion. However the SHARP model have some limitations in simulating the range of seawater intrusion, when the hydrodynamic dispersion is significant for seawater intrusion at local aquifer system.

Samples from soils and crops were collected and analyzed in order to investigate the interactions of selenium among rocks, soils, and crops by hydrothermal alteration near epithermal mines in the region of Mio-san, Haenam. Soil samples included 6 samples each from mountain and farm area and compositional minerals and their contents were analyzed by water content, pH, ICP, XRD, XRF. Crop samples from onion and scallion were analyzed for chemical composition to elucidate the relationship with soils. Results from XRD analysis for soil samples showed that major compositional minerals are qualtz and feldspar, and illite, chlorite, hematite formed by hydrothermal alteration were included on a small scale. The pH ranges of soil samples from mountain and farm were measured at 4.6~4.9 and 5.2~6.7, respectively. The higher pH in farm soils may result from fertilization during agricultural activities. Results from ICP analysis showed that, compared to soil samples from mountain area with no potassium and calcium, significant amount of K and Ca were detected in soil samples from farms which is affected by fertilization. In a similar manner, potassium and calcium were absorbed and detected in crop samples at relatively high concentrations (116.89~169.79 ppm for K and 20.18~32.29 ppm for Ca). While the selenium contents in soil samples ranged from 18.35 ppb to 70.31 ppb which showed no significant difference, high concentrations of selenium were detected in onion (119.48~179.50 ppb) and scallion (146.65 ppb). These difference in enrichment for each element may result from the distinctive adsorption characteristics depending on crops.

Using a continuous injection tracer test at a multi-soil layer deposit, the difference of hydrodynamic dispersions in unsaturated and saturated zones were analyzed through breakthrough curves of Rhodamine WT, linear regression of concentration versus time, concentration variation rates versus time, and concentration ratio according to the distance from injection well. As a result of continuous injection tracer test, the difference of the maximum concentrations of Rhodamine WT in unsaturated and saturated zones were 13-15 times after 160 hours, and the increased rate of concentration versus time in unsaturated zone was about 10 times higher than in saturated zone. The fluctuation of Rhodamine WT breakthrough curve and concentration variation rate with time in saturated zone were larger than in unsaturated zone. Rhodamine WT concentration ratio with the distance from the injection well in saturation zone was linearly decreased faster than in unsaturated zone, and the elapsed time necessary for the concentration ratio less than 2 was longer in saturation zone. The differences resulted from the lower concentration and slower hydrodynamic dispersion of Rhodamine WT at the saturation zone of the multi-soil layer deposit, in which groundwater flow significantly flow and aquifer materials have high hydraulic heterogeneity. Effective porosity, longitudinal and transverse dispersivities were estimated $10.19{\sim}10.50%,\;0.80{\sim}1.98m$ and $0.02{\sim}0.04m$, respectively. The field longitudinal dispersivity is over 12 times larger than the laboratory longitudinal dispersivity by the scale-dependent effect.

Clumping of cells is one of the major obstacles to culture wild myxobacterial strains in liquid media. In an effort to solve this problem, we tried a method isolating spontaneous mutants that grow dispersed in liquid media from a wild myxobacterial strain. Myxococcus stipitatus KYC1001, a newly isolated strain from Gyearyongsan National Park in Korea, clumps and sticks to the surface of culture vessels as other wild myxobacteria behave in liquid media. Taking an advantage of the characteristics that dispersed mutant cells would grow dispersed while most other wild type cells would clump and stick to the surface of culture vessels, spontaneous dispersed mutants were enriched by repeated subculturing of culture supernatant. A resultant mutant, KYC2001, did not form any clumps nor stick to the surface of culture flasks, but grew completely dispersed in liquid. Meanwhile, three other spontaneous mutants, KYC2002, KYC2003, and KYC2004, shelved partially dispersed phenotype. A major portion of the cells grew dispersed in liquid but they still formed some clumps.

Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, particularly Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), has emerged as an important analytical tool in quantification as well as identification of multi-atomic inorganic ions such as nitrate. In the present study, the possibility of quantifying soil nitrate via diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) without change of a sample phase or with least treated samples was examined. Four types of soils were spectrally characterized in terms of unique bands of soil contents and interferences with nitrate bands in the range of $2000-1000cm^{-1}$. In order to reduce the effects of soil composition on calibration model for nitrate, spectra transformed to the 1st order derivatives were used in the partial least squared regression (PLSR) model and the classification procedure associated with input soil types was involved in calibration system. PLSR calibration models for each soil type provided better performance results ($R^2$>0.95, RPD>6.0) than the model considering just one type of soil as a standard.

The application of livestock manure to cropland is a practice that has been used for centuries. Agricultural crops can utilize nutrients from manure, and the producer can utilize land for disposal, although in a "sustainable system" the concept is manure utilization and not waste disposal. However, meeting regulatory criteria regarding microbial quality remains an expensive and time consuming process. The purpose of this study was to quantify the level of environmental impact of soil moisture and temperature on fecal coliform (Escherichia coli or E. coli) survival in upland soils for sound application of livestock manure. Samples were collected up to 30 days depending on the given conditions. The inactivation rate of E. coli increased linearly with increased temperature while the inactivation rate gradually decreased with decreased soil moisture level. The overall findings of this study showed that the temperature was the limited factor on E. coli survival in soils over soil moisture content. This study will provide useful and practical guidelines to applicators of soil in deciding appropriate handling and time frames for land application for sustainable agriculture.

The study is for contaminations of major, rare earth and trace elements of the farmland soils from the Boeunjeil mine area. The results are compared with the soils of Chungjoo, Deokpyeong, Boeun and Chubu areas. Fe and S contents of the contaminated area are high relative to those from the uncontaminated areas, Chungjoo and Boeun areas. Trace elements of the contaminated area are high relative to those from uncontaminated area, Chunajoo, Deokpyeong, Boeun and Chubu areas. The trace elements ares divided into Cd, Ni, Sr, U, V, Zn and As, Co, Cu, Mo, Pb, Sb, based on these dispersion and correlation. Two groups show the positive correlation. Enrichment factor of potentially toxic elements from contaminated area is >5 value, but <4 value in the uncontaminated area. In the geoaccumulation index of the minor elements, the contaminated area has >1 value and the uncontaminated area has <1 value except Mn. Enrichment index of potentially toxic elements(As, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, U, Zn) ranges from 0.3 to 87.0 in the contaminated area and from 0.4 to 3.9 in the uncontaminated area. Overall results show that the high contents of farmland soils for the elements(Fe, S, As, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, U, Zn) indicate the contamination by coal-related activities.

본 연구의 목적은 부산 동남부 해안지역의 대수층에서 염수화에 미치는 조건들을 파악하고 해수침투 범위를 추정하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 Tidal damping method와 SUTRA 모델링을 실시하고 대수층의 특성 및 염수화가능성을 파악하였으며, 모델링 결과의 타당성을 판단하기 위하여 전기비저항 탐사를 실시하였다. Tidal damping method에 의한 시간지연과 조석효율효과를 계산하여 대수층의 저류계수를 산출한 결과 시간지연 현상에 의한 방법이 적합하게 나타났다. SUTRA 모델링 결과, 건기인 5월에는 종분산 지수가 2.5m 일 때 500ppm의 TDS 등치선을 기준으로 해안에서 약 510m 내륙까지 해수의 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 우기인 7월에는 강수로부터 다량의 지하수 함양에 의한 지하수위 상승을 고려하여, 평균수리경사를 0.008로 설정한 조건에서는 500ppm의 TDS 등치선을 기준으로 해안에서 약 410m 내륙까지 해수의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타난다. 5월과 7월의 전기비저항 탐사결과를 비교하면 7월의 전기비저항 분포가 전반적으로 높게 나타났다. 그 이유는 6, 7월의 강수에 의한 지하수의 유입이 증가하여 침투된 염수의 농도가 다소 낮아졌기 때문이다.
