To discriminate the provenance of shelf sediments in the East China Sea, textural and elemental compositions along with strontium isotopic ratio ($^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$) were analyzed and compared with the sediments originated from Chinese rivers. The sediments in the study area are composed of fine-grained mud with a mean grain size of $47\;{\phi}$ and their $CaCO_3$, contents range from 3.9 to 11.5% (average 7.6%). In the study area, the content of most metallic elements are strongly constrained by sediment grain size (quartz dilution effect) and that of biogenic material and, thereby, their spatial distribution seems not enough for understanding sediment provenance in the study area. The muddy sediments of the Yangtze river have much lower $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ ratio ($0.71197{\sim}0.71720$) than the Yellow Sea shelf muddy sediments which are supposed to be originated from the Huanghe river ($0.72126{\sim}0.72498$), suggesting the distribution pattern of $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ ratios as a new tracer to discriminate the provenance of shelf sediments in the study area. Different source rock compositions and weathering processes between both drainage basins may account for the differences in $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ ratio. Although the ratios show wide range, from 0.71445 to 0.72184 with an average 0.71747 in the study area, they are close to the values of the Yangtze river sediments, suggesting that the sediments were mainly originated from the Yangtze river. The previous studies on the dispersal pattern of modern sediments and the physico-chemical properties of seawater in the Yellow and East China seas support the possibility that the fine-grained Yangtze river sediments can reach to the East China Sea shelf as well as to the southeastern Yellow Sea.

To investigate the controlling factor and accumulation of trace metal concentrations in Chun-su Bay sediments, grain-size, specific surface area, organic carbon content, calcium carbonate content, and concentration of Al, Fe, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ti, Mn, P, S, Ba, Sr, Li, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Cs, Sc, V, Sn were analyzed. Controlling factors of metals were quartz-dilution, calcium carbonate and coarse sand or K-feldspar. Although the distribution of V, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sn, and Cd concentration was explained by grain-size effiect, Mn and As showed the similar importance of grain-size effect and coarse sand or K-feldspar factors. By virtue of enrichment factor and 1 M HCl experiment, there were little enrichment in all the trace metals in bay sediments, which were explained well by geochemical properties of sediments. Since the concentration levels of As in coarse sand were high as much as those in fine-grained sediments and it was combined with Mn oxide (1 M HCl leached) and K-feldspar (residual), it was suggested that when the enrichment of As in sediments would be assessed, it is necessary to separate the coarse sand from bulk sediments or to use only sediments with higher than 10% in < $16{\mu}m$ fraction.

The seafloor geology of Ieodo, a submerged volcanic island, has been poorly understood, although this place has gained considerable attention for ocean and climate studies. The main purpose of the study is to understand and elucidate types, distribution patterns and provenance of the surficial sediments in and around the Ieodo area. For this purpose, 25 seafloor sediments were collected using a box-corer, these having been analyzed for grain sizes. XRD (X-ray Diffraction) analysis of fine-grained sediments was conducted for characterizing clay minerals. The peak of Ieodo exists in the northern region, while in the southern area, shore platforms occur. The extensive platform in the south results from severe erosion by strong waves. However, the northern peak still survived from differential weathering. Grain size analyses indicated that gravels and gravelly sands with skeletons and shells were distributed predominantly on the volcanic apron and shore platform. Muddy sediments were found along the Ieodo and the adjacent deeper seafloor. Based on the analysis of clay mineral composition, illites were the most abundant in fine muds, followed by chlorites and kaolinites. The ratio plots of clay minerals for the provenance discrimination suggested that the Ieodo muds were likely to be derived from the Yangtze River (Changjiang River). As a consequence, gravels and gravelly sands with bioclastics may be supplied from the Ieodo volcanic apron by erosion processes. Wave activities might play a major role in transportation and sedimentation. In contrast, fine muds were assumed to be derived from the inflow of the Yangtze River, particularly in summer. Deposition in the Ieodo area is, therefore, probably controlled by the inflow from the Changjiang Dilute Water and summer typhoons from the south.

We studied the heavy minerals in 46 surface sediments collected from the Central Yellow Sea Mud (CYSM) to characterize the type, abundance, mineralogical properties and distribution pattern using the stereo-microscopy, field-Emission scanning electron microscopy (FE SEM) and chemical analysis through the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Heavy mineral assemblages are primarily composed of epidote group, amphibole group, garnet group, zircon, rutile and sphene in descending order. Epidote group and amphibole group minerals account for more than 50% of total heavy minerals. The minerals in epidote group, amphibole group and garnet group in studied area are epidote, edenite and almandine, respectively. When we divided the CYSM into two regions by $124^{\circ}E$, the eastern region contain higher contents of epidote and (zircon + rutile), which are more resistant to weathering but lower of amphibole, which is less resistant to weathering than the western region. Based on this results, it is possible to estimate that the eastern region sediments are transported for a long distance while western region sediments are transported for a short distance from the source area. In the future, the additional study on the heavy minerals in river sediments flowing into the Yellow Sea and much more samples for marine sediments must be carried out to interpret exactly the provenance and sedimentation process.

Seismic reflection profiles and exploratory drilling well samples from the southern marginal-continental shelf basin of Korea delineate that the Tertiary sedimentary sequences can be grouped into five sequences (Sequence A, Sequence B, Sequence C, Sequence D and Sequence E, in descending order). Paleontologic data, K-Ar age datings, correlation with tuff layers and sequence stratigraphic analysis reveal that the sequences A, B, C, D and E can be considered as the deposits of Holocene $\~$ Pleistocene, Pliocene, Late Miocene, Early $\~$ Middle Miocene and Oligocene, respectively. The sequence stratigraphic and structural analyses suggest that the southern part of the Cheju Basin had experienced severe folding and faulting. NE-SW trending strike-slip movement is responsible for the deformation. The sinistral movement of strike-slip fault ceased before the deposition of Sequence B. Age dating and rare-earth elements analysis of volvanic rocks reveal+ that the Sequence D was deposited during the Early $\~$ Middle Miocene and the Sequence I was deposited earlier than the deposition of the Green Tuff Formation. Sedimentary petrological studies indicate that sediments of the Sequence I came from the continental block provenance. After the deposition of the Sequence E, uplift of the source area resulted in increase of sediment supply, subsidence and volcanic activities. The Sequence D show these factors and the sediments of the Sequence D are considered to be transported from the recycled orogenic belt.

Most of domestic multipurpose dams were basin area to be large, therefore, soil loss were occurred by downpour in the rainy season, They have caused to accumulate sediments on the river and dam reservoir that brought the decrease of storage volume and difficulties of the quality management of water. Until now, the measurement cycle of sediments surveying was long and it was designed to use surveying the degree of sediments, Thus there were many difficult things to secure accuracy. In this study, it was intended to analyze the origin position tracing of sediments and the movement route, for this purpose, aerial LiDAR technology was applied to precise sediments surveying. The amount and location of soil loss were evaluated by classified properties of soil, land-cover, and topographical conditions in detail. Therefore, the reliance could be maintained in analyzing the route of soil loss by extracting the flow within a watercourse and using the advanced accurate DEM.

Sediment samples from the continental shelf of the South Sea of Korea are analysed to determine the concentration of Al, Fe, Mn, cu, Ni, Zn, Co, Cr and Pb. among these samples, fine-grained sediments were also analysed by a sequential extraction technique to know geochemical forms of the metals in this environments. The total concentration of Al, Fe, Cr, Ni, Cu and Zn in bulk sediments decreased gradually with the increase of distance from the coastal zone. This distribution patterns are well coincide with grain size distribution. However, the patterns of Mn, co and Pb do not follow such and overall distribution. The concentration of Pb, particularly, did not show any features in areal distribution, which may be result from different pathways to the sediments, compared to the other metals. the speculation data show that a considerable amount of Cd, Mn and Co are bounded in the carbonate fraction, accounting for 42.8%, 40.3% and 30.6%, respectively. Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe are largely associated to oxide fraction with proportions of 34.4%, 23.1%, 15.5% and 13.7%, respectively. However, the metals in residual fraction account for more than 50% of the total metal concentration, except for Mn. These observations emphasize that residual fraction in the dominant component controlling the elemental concentration.quartz and glauconite grains.Accordingly,these sediments are interpreted as an extension part of transgressive sand deposit that are widely distributed on the continental shalf floor of southern Yellow Sea.

국내 신규댐 건설에 있어, 침수토양의 용출에 의한 호내 수질영향에 대해서는 현재까지 정량화된 사례는 찾기 어려우며, 댐 담수 초기에 증가되는 오염원에 대한 정확한 조사자료의 부족으로 담수이후의 수질변화에 대한 정확한 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 외부 오염부하의 강우시 유입과 퇴적물로부터의 영양염용출 등의 내부 오염부하가 함께 고려된 수질예측기법의 적용이 필요하다. 수몰지 토양 및 호내로부터의 내부부하에 있어서는 퇴적물 내의 다량 존재하는 오염물이 재용출 되거나 퇴적물 내의 화학적 생물학적 반응이 하천 수질에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 대부분 수몰지토양에서 수층으로 용출되는 유기물의 양은 수층에서 퇴적물로 흡수 또는 침강 되는 것보다 많은 경우도 있으며, 오염된 수계에서는 내부 부하량이 과다할 경우 수질 개선을 어렵게 하는 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2016년 시험담수 예정지인 신규댐 수몰지를 대상으로 토양에 포함된 유기물이 자연상태에서 수체로 용출되는 특성을 분석하여 수질에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 한다. 댐 수몰지의 토양 시료는 시험담수전 2016년 7월, 토지이용 유형별로 5개지점(논, 밭, 대지, 임야, 하천)에서 시료를 채집하여 총 36일간 용출실험을 실시하였으며, 수층내 용존산소 조건을 호기성 조건과 혐기성 조건으로 나누어 실험하였다. 수질분석은 COD, T-N, T-P, $PO_4-P$등 9개 항목에 대해 실험기간 중 13회 실시하였다. 토양별 점유면적 대비 일 용출량은(kg/day) COD 63 kg/day, T-N 93.6 kg/day, T-P 5.8 kg/day, $PO_4-P$ 4.6 kg/day 였으며, 수몰지 내 토지이용현황별 오염원 기여율은 임야, 밭, 하천, 논, 대지 순 이었다. 본 실험은 수몰지토양의 순수용출량만을 담수개시~36일간 측정한 결과로서 실제 저수지환경에서는 실험값보다 낮을 것으로 판단되며, 수중 수질환경 변화 및 퇴적물의 퇴적 등으로 인하여 원토양으로부터의 용출로 인한 수질에의 영향은 시간의 경과와 함께 변화 또는 감소될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 실험결과는 담수초기의 영향으로 국한하여 해석하는 것이 바람직하며, 보다 장기적인 영향파악을 위해서는 담수 후의 퇴적물의 거동(퇴적현황) 파악 및 담수 후 퇴적물의 장기용출실험을 통한 용출량 검토가 필요하다.

환형수조는 점착성 퇴적물의 이송특성 연구를 위해 가장 선호되는 실험 장치로 알려져 있다. 과거 많은 연구자들은 퇴적물의 이송특성, 특히 침식/퇴적 특성 조사를 위해 주로 수로를 이용한 실험적 연구를 수행하였는데, 최초의 실험적 연구들은 주로 직선수조에서 수행되었다. 그러나 입자간의 응집이 중요한 역할을 하는 점착성 퇴적물의 경우에, 직선수조 끝단에서의 자유낙하 및 재순환 펌프의 날개에 의해 응집된 토사가 쉽게 분리될 수 있어 그 타당성이 의문시 되어 왔으며, 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 환형수조가 고안되었다. 환형수조는 수면과 접하여 회전하는 상부링의 마찰력에 의해 흐름이 생성되기 때문에 시간의 제약 없이 흐름조건을 동일하게 만들 수 있다는 큰 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 환형수조는 원주유속의 속도차이 및 원심력으로 인한 2차 순환류를 형성시켜 반경 방향(radial direction)에서의 바닥전단응력을 불균일하게 하는 단점을 갖는다. 이러한 2차 순환류와 바닥전단응력의 불균일을 저감시키기 위하여 환형수조의 몸체를 상부링의 회전 방향과 역방향으로 직접 회전시키는 방법이 채택되어져 왔다. 한편, 환형수조의 상부링과 몸체를 서로 역방향으로 동시에 회전시키는 양방향 회전(counter-rotation)의 적용을 위해서는 2차 순환류가 최소가 되며 바닥전단응력이 균일해지는 최적 회전속도비에 대한 분석은 필수적 사항이다. 이를 위하여, 상부링과 몸체의 회전속도에 따라 변화하는 수조내부의 흐름특성 및 평균바닥전단응력에 대한 연구가 선행되어야만 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학을 이용하여 전북대에 설치된 환형수조의 상부링과 몸체의 회전속도에 따라 변화하는 수조내부에서의 흐름특성 및 바닥전단응력에 대한 분석이 수행되었다. 또한, 이를 기초로, 환형수조의 최적 회전속도비 산출을 위한 연구가 수행 중에 있다. 이러한 결과들은 추후 환형수조를 이용한 점착성 퇴적물의 침식/퇴적 등과 같은 이송특성 연구시, 퇴적물에 작용하는 흐름조건의 정밀산정을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
