미세-점착성 퇴적물로 구성되는 퇴적저면의 침식특성을 해석하기 위해, 고령토 퇴적저면에 대한 침식실험이 환형수조를 이용하여 수행되었다. 현재, 퇴적저면의 침식특성 연구에 대한 국내사례는 전무한 실정으로, 본 연구는 퇴적저면에 대한 침식실험 방법 및 결과의 타당성 검증을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여, 본 연구에서는 압밀시간 조건에 따라 4가지의 서로 다른 퇴적저면이 조성되었고, 각 저면별로 저면깊이에 따른 저면밀도의 변화가 우선적으로 정밀 측정되었다. 각 퇴적저면별 침식실험으로부터는, 바닥전단응력(${\tau}_b$)의 변화에 따른 저면 침식깊이(즉, 수층 부유사 농도)의 변화 측정을 통하여, 저면깊이에 따른 저면전단강도(즉, 침식한계전단응력, ${\tau}_S$)의 변화 값들이 정량적으로 분석되었으며, 최종적으로 잉여전단응력(${\tau}_b-{\tau}_S$)과 침식률 간의 관계식이 산정되었다. 퇴적저면 침식특성에 관한 과거 해외 연구 결과와의 비교 검토를 통하여, 본 연구에서 사용 혹은 적용된 실험장치, 실험 방법 및 실험결과가 타당성이 있음이 확인되었다.

대부분의 경우에 하구의 미세-점착성 퇴적물은 보통 무기성 광물과 유기물 및 생화학물의 혼합체이며, 광물 입자들은 주로 점토와 실트로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 혼합체의 침식특성은 사질성 퇴적물과는 달리 입자간의 응집현상에 의한 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 응집강도는 광물질 구성, 입경분포, 유기물 함량 등으로 묘사되는 퇴적물 자체의 물리ㆍ화학적 기본특성에 따라 크게 변화하고 (Mea, 1986), 특히 저면 퇴적물의 침식 여부는 흐름 전단응력에 의한 저면퇴적물의 저항력 즉, 저면전단강도의 상대적 크기의 차이에 좌우되므로, 그 침식 특성은 저면전단강도 흑은 저면밀도로 묘사되는 저면특성에 따라 크게 변화한다(황규남 등, 2003). 또한 각 해역마다 저면 퇴적물은 퇴적물 공급원, 수동학적 조건, 생태학적 조건 등이 모두 다른 상태에서 형성된 퇴적층이므로, 저면 퇴적물의 기본특성 및 저면특성은 "site- specific" 한 성격을 갖는다.

To investigate the paleoceanographic environmental changes around the Okinawa Trough, Japan, a piston core (RN88-PC5) was conducted on benthic foraminiferal species composition, assemblage, sedimentological and geochemical analyses. Trubidite sediment intercalated in studied core contains different benthic foraminiferal species, dwelling in shallow coral reef species, from normal hemipelagic sediment. These different benthic foraminiferal species and its assemblage are interpreted as reworked sediment when turbidite current occurred, synchronically. Grain size analysis clearly showed that mean grain size difference occurred between trubidite and hemipelagic sediments. Geochemical analysis also showed the difference of chemical composition between two sedimentary facies. Results of the foraminiferal oxygen isotope analysis showing global surface water warming records since the last 10 ka. The geochemcial analysis and previous works showed that turbidite sediment of studied core indicating sporadic occurrence of regional paleoceanographic events. Assemblage of shallow coral reef benthic foraminifera especially occurred with turbidite layer clearly support the sporadic occurrence of paleoceanographic events such as regional earthquake.

담수와 해수가 혼합되는 환경에서 퇴적 저니로부터의 오염 물질 용출률을 조사하였다. 축산폐수와 산업폐수의 영향을 받은 두 지점의 퇴적저니 시료에 대해 해수와 담수로 장기(약4주) 용출 시험을 행한 결과, 해수보다는 담수에서의 오염물질(영양염류 및 중금속) 용출률이 높은 것으로 조사되었는데, 이는 담수에서의 이온강도(ionic strength)가 상대적으로 낮아 오염성분의 포화농도가 높기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 용존산소의 농도를 달리하여 시험한 결과 무산소 상태에서의 용출률이 호기성 상태에서 보다 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 그 원인이 생물학적인 것인지 화학적인 것인지는 밝혀지지 않았다. 시험결과를 종합해 볼 때 무산소 상태의 담수에서 오염물질의 용출이 극대화되며, 따라서 강어귀 등과 같이 유속이 작아져 오염물질의 침강은 잘되는 반면 오염물질의 해수에 의한 희석 효과는 적은 경우가 저니로 인한 수질 환경영향이 가장 클 것으로 예측된다.

한반도 서해 만경강-동진강 하구역 조간대 퇴적층의 수직층서 퇴적상 변화를 분석 하여 퇴적과정을 기초해양환경의 관점에서 해석하였다. 본 연구해역 저 조선의 퇴적층은 사 질함량이 우세한 반면 방조제와 인접한 만조선의 퇴적층은 실트질이 우세하였고 상층과 하 층의 퇴적물이 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 사질퇴적층의 내부퇴적구조는 괴상구조, 평행층리 및 사층리 구조등이 우세하며 니질퇴적층에서는 모래/니질 교호엽리구조가 우세하다. 본 연구 의 결과 만경강-동진강 조간대 퇴적층서는 인근의 방조제 축조에 다른 퇴적환경 변화에 크 게 영향받은 것으로 해석된다, 즉 방조제축소 이전 고에너지의 퇴적환경에서 집적되었던 사 질퇴적층이 방조제축조 이후에는 저에너지 환경조건에서 집적된 니질퇴적물로 피복된 것으 로 해석된다.

A turbidite core sediment (RN88-PC5) from 2051 m on the deep-sea floor at the southern margin of Okinawa Trough was examined. Sedimentological characteristics were quite different between sandy sediments and hemipelagic sediments and hemipelagic sediments in terms of benthic foraminiferal assemblage, grain-size and chemical composition. All turbidite sandy sediments were clearly transported from shallow area as they include typical coral reef dwelling benthic foraminifera which were not found in the background hemipelagic sediments. These layers also suggest that the sediments were transported by turbidity-related currents and implies that sedimentological mechanisms were different between sandy sediments and hemipelagic sediments. The result of the /SUP 14/ C age dating and the stable oxygen isotopic fluctuation of planktonic foraminifera show a gradual warming trend of the surface water from about 10 Ka to present. Also Termination lb as well as two fresh water input events were recognized at ca2 and 7 ka.

Pollutants from industry, mining, agriculture, and other sources have contaminated sediments in many surface water bodies. Sediment contamination poses a severe threat to human health and environment because many toxic contaminants that are barely detectable in the water column can accumulate in sediments at much higher levels. The purpose of this study was to make optimal treatment and disposal plan o( sediment for water quality improvement in small-scale resevoir based on an evaluation of degree of contamination. The degree of contamination were investigated for 23 samples of 9 site at different depth of sediment in small-scale J river. Results for analysis of contaminated sediments were observed that copper concentration of 4 samples were higher than the regulation of hazardous waste (3 mg/L) and that of all samples were exceeded soil pollution warning levels for agricultural areas. Lead and mercury concentration of all samples were detected below both regulations. Necessary of sediment dredge was evaluated for organic matter and nutrient through standard levels of Paldang lake and the lower Han river in Korea and Tokyo bay and Yokohama bay in Japan. The degree of contamination for organic matter and nutrient was not serious. Compared standard levels of Japan, America, and Canada for heavy metal, contaminated sediment was concluded as lowest effect level or limit of tolerance level because standard levels of America and Canada was established worst effect of benthic organisms. The optimal treatment method of sediment contained heavy metal was cement-based solidification/stabilization to prevent heavy metal leaching.

A series of experiments on the resuspension of deposited fine-grained sediments were carried out in a recirculating straight flume to investigate the influence of the sediment type, water content and bed shear stress (${\tau}_b$) on the resuspension characteristics of the sediments. The sediments were sampled from Youngkwang coast and Youngdo coast which are located in the western sea and southeastern sea of Korea, respectively. Critical bed shear stress (${\tau}_c$) for resuspension was deduced for each experimental series. For the same sediment, critical bed shear stress for resuspension decreased but suspension mass or rate increased with increasing water content. The resuspension of deposited fine-grained sediments depended strongly on the water content, and the sediment type characterizing the inter-particle bond strength. It has been found that critical bed shear stress for resuspension in the unidirection flow is about 4 times higher than that in the combined wave-current flow, In case of lower bed shear stress, after an initially high suspension, suspension mass approaches a constant value due to the bed hardening with increasing time, but in case of higher bed shear stress, suspension mass increased successively due to the bed softening with time. Initial suspension rate, $E={\alpha}_3({\tau}_b/{\tau}_c-1)^{\beta}$ (where ${\alpha}_3$ and ${\beta}$=empirical constants), was estimated for each experimental series, ${\alpha}_3$ and ${\beta}$ values for the same sediment increased with water content.

The Gwangyang Bay, southern coast of Korea, is characterized by its semi-enclosed basin morphology and mesotidal regime. The Seomjin River, in particular, has a complex delta depositional system at its mouth, which has approximately 44$\textrm{km}^2$ in the total surface area. Various sedimentary environments, such as delta, intertidal flat, subtidal zone and major tidal channels are recognized based on sediment facies and depositional regime. However, the essential intertidal flat environments are developed mainly in the western parts of the bay which is generally low in energy, i, e. tidal current and wave action.

To investigate the effect of the initial sediment concentration ($C_o$) and bed shear stress (${\tau}_b$) on the settling properties of silty mud, deposition experiments were conducted in a recirculating flume using silty mud sediment taken from the Youngkwang coast which is located in the eastern Yellow Sea. The relative concentration, $C/C_o$ (C=depth averaged concentration), and the relative equilibrium concentration, $C_{eq}/C_o$ ($C_{eq}$=depth averaged concentration in the equilibrium state), have been found to depend much more strongly on the bed shear stress than initial concentration, and to increase with increasing bed shear stress. The minimum value. ${\tau}_{bmin}$, and maximum value. ${\tau}_{bmax}$, of critical bed shear stress for deposition of the Youngkwang sediment were deduced to be $0.017N/m^2$ and $1.25N/m^2$, respectively, and these values depend strongly on the properties of sediment (grain size and mineralogy). Formulas for the relative concentration and apparent median settling velocity in the range of ${\tau}_b{\geq}{\tau}_{bmin}$ were deduced. The apparent median settling velocity was found to depend much more strongly on the bed shear stress than the initial concentration and to decrease exponentially with increasing bed shear stress.
