We will catch the spatio-temporal changes that analyse the unknown topography of Go-Gunsan Islands using Landsat TM satellite images into an unsupervised ISODATA classification and a supervised nearest likelihood classification. Each sedimental topography has the different characteristics according to building the Saemangeum embarkment. We will deal with the distribution of sedimental shapes using ERDAS Imagine 8. 6. The result that classifies specifically topographic properties of our research area be considered to get use of establishing the reclaiming program and predicating the reclaimed sedimental topography. The research area can be classified into tidal flats and sea level using band 4 among 7 bands of Landsat TM. Also band 5 can be used to classify the special unknown shapes of tidal flats. We will clarify the efficiency that spatio-temporal sedimental changes can be extracted through processing satellite images. Therefore, the spatio-temporal unknown topography change monitoring using satellite images is expected to be very useful to clarify whether the tidal flat is generated or not in the Go-Gunsan Islands at the outer side of the embarkment after constructing completely the Saemangeum tidal embarkment.

Masan Bay is highly polluted by the discharge of large quantities of effluents from the industrial complex and domestic sewage of Masan City, Southeast Korea. Surface sediments from 9 stations were used for geochemical and foraminiferal analyses in order to investigate foraminiferal response to sedimentary pollution in the Bay. The heavy metal concentrations in sediments are relatively higher than those in Kyeonggi Bay and Daesan area, west coastal region of Korea. Zn, Cd, Pb, and As are more concentrated than in world average shale, indicating that the municipal and industrial effluents cause sediment contamination. Responses of benthic foraminifera to the sedimentary pollution effect document a degree of pollution in Masan Bay. The species number and diversity in Masan Bay had lower values than those in Gadeog Channel. In Masan Bay, agglutinated foraminifera are abundant and calcareous foraminiferal tests were frequently pyritized. Eggerella advena and Trochammina pacifica dominated at levels of pollution and could be opportunistic species. These data will provide a baseline for future assessments of environmental quality in Masan Bay.

Paleoenvironments of the shell deposit-bearing sequence in the Hasandong Formation at Daesong-ri area, Hadong-gun, Korea, are interpreted on the basis of sedimentary facies and taphonomy of the shell deposits, with a discussion of their stratigraphic implications. A shell deposit-bearing sequence without reddish beds is mostly grayish, and the bedding is laterally extensive. These deposits are interpreted to have been formed in sandflats, mudflats, and shallow lakes generated by flooding on an alluvial plain. The shell deposits are classified into three types according to the occurrence, and the concentration of a single species of Brotiopsis wakinoensis in the shell deposits is deemed to have been attributed to the exclusive inhabitation of the genus Brotiopsis. Type 1 and 2 shell deposits are interpreted to have been fossilized in sandflats and mudflats after death in their habitat of shallow lakes and subsequent transformation by sheetflooding and lake flooding. Type 3 shell deposits are interpreted to have been fossilized in their habitat of shallow lakes during a stabilized period of lake development. The development of the shell deposit-bearing lacustrine sequence in a few tens of meters in thickness in the Hasandong Formation of fluvial deposits is compared to the shift of depositional environments from the Hasandong Formation (fluvial deposits) through the Jinju Formation (lacustrine deposits) to the Chilgok Formation (alluvial plain deposits), which suggests that additional lithostratigraphic classification is needed in the Hasandong Formation. The shell deposits at the study area can provide valuable data to understanding the paleoenvironments during the Early Cretaceous Period of Korea, and should give basic data to evaluate the value of the Cretaceous mollusc deposits in Korea as a geological heritage.

We studied the release characteristics of the marine sediment which could facilitate sea eutrophication through some lab-scale simulation experiments. Environmental indicators such as pH, ORP(oxidation reduction potential), nitrogens, and phosphates were measured in order to calculate the corresponding release rates. $CaO_2$, an oxygen releasing compound was used to determine how it would effect on the natural process of sedimental release. COD, ammonia nitrogen, phosphorous compounds were less released under the oxic environment caused by $CaO_2$. This basic data will help developing methodology for reducing marine eutrophication which may be initiated by the sedimental release.

최근 우리나라에서는 하천의 생태 및 환경에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 기능을 상실한 보들이 철거되고 있으나, 보 철거에 따른 하천의 변화에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 한탄강의 고탄보 철거 전 후의 물리적 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 하상변동, 하상재료의 변화, 가시적인 하천 형태의 변화등을 조사하여 그 결과를 정리, 분석하였다. 물리적 변화는 크게 대규모 평면 변화와 소규모 종단 및 횡단 변화로 나눌 수 있다. 평면 변화는 퇴적지, 하중도 및 제방 등의 변화를 포함하며, 이러한 변화 양상을 분석하기 위하여 주기적으로 촬영된 사진과 영상을 비교 분석 하였다. 또한, 하상의 종 횡단 변화를 연구하기 위해 철거 전 후와 홍수 후에 하천 단면 측량을 실시하여, 보 철거에 따른 미세 지형 변동을 파악하였다. 또한, 하상 재료의 변화를 연구하기 위해 홍수 전후의 하상 재료에 대한 입도분석을 실시하였으며, 홍수 시에는 부유사를 채취하여 유사량을 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 보철거 전 후의 물리적 변화를 관찰하기 위한 방법을 제시하였으며, 하상변동 관찰 결과보 철거로 인해 상류에서는 침식현상이, 하류에서는 퇴적현상이 발생하여 점차 평형 하상 경사로 복원되어가는 것으로 판단할 수 있었다. 고탄보의 경우는 하상이 자갈과 거석으로 구성되어 있어, 하상재료의 변화는 미미하였다.

There is a need to have a dredging index for decision of contaminated sediments dredging. Some differences from nation to nation were found in sediment quality guideline being applied by several nations because of economic level, environmental nature, and multiple uses. Therefore, it is not reasonable to adapt one guideline to be applied to sediments dredging. In this study, we developed dredging index by combining four numerical sets of sediment quality judgement into a quadrodiagram for prudential decisions. This newly developed dredging index was applied to the data obtained from Masan Bay before and after the dredging process. The quadrodiagrams of DI give us a nice graphical comparison and numerical values to explain the relative dredging effect under the circumstances of continuous input loadings. When the guideline value of DI is determined for the judgement of dredging considering social and economic impacts on local community, the DI value will be a scientific and reasonable tool in deciding dredging area and dredging depth.

Spacial variation in organic components and temporal variation in the origin was examined through the organic geochemical (TC, TN, TS, $CaCO_3$, TOC, C/N, and $\delta^{13}C$) and pyrolysis analysis (HI, OI, and Tmax) in the core sediments which were acquired in the continental shelf of the South Sea close to Seomjin River. Levels of TC, TN, and TS show relatively low and constant in the core SJ03 located close to the Seomjin River mouth, while those are increased a little with being varied with low amplitude in the core SJ02 and SJ04 acquired at the middle of inner shelf area. They fluctuated with high amplitude in the core SJ01 and SJ05 near to the outer boundary of inner shelf. The vertical characteristics of organic components in the core SJ01 acquired at the outer boundary show that the area has undergone distinctly the environmental change at 9.0 kyr B.P. After 9.0 kyr B.P., Levels of TC, TOC, TN, $CaCO_3$, $\delta^{13}C$, HI, and Tmax are rapidly increased, while C/N and or are significantly decreased. Even though the contents of organic components are not high, such a changes reflect that the terrigenous organic matters were predominant before 9.0 kyr B.P due to the influence of Seomjin River, but after then, the marine organic matters have dominated due to the inflow of the Tshusima current.

Stable isotope and biomarker analyses were carried out for the organic sediments from the exploratory wells in the Jeju Basin in order to understand the characteristics of organic matter. Organic matter in Geobuk-1, Okdom-1, JDZ VII-1 and VII-2 well is predominantly originated from land plants rather than marine algae according to carbon $({\delta}^{13}C_{org})$ and nitrogen $({\delta}^{15}N_{org})$ isotopic compositions. In the Geobuk-1, geochemical characteristics such as carbon $({\delta}^{13}C_{org})$, nitrogen ($({\delta}^{15}N_{org})$ and TOC contents are obviously changed by the depth 2,400 m, which is likely due to the change of origin of organic matter, sedimentary process or sedimentary environments. Analysis of the saturated fraction of the bitumen suggests the contribution of migrated oil to the indigenous bitumen from the samples 2,509, 2,833 and 3,163 m of the JDZ YII-1 and 3,253 m of the Geobuk-1 well. However, this characteristics can be derived from the contribution of the original organic matter. Based on the biomarker analysis, the samples from the Okdom-1 and Geobuk-1 appear to represent sedimentary organic matter of similar composition, that is rotatively immature, and which was probably deposited in the fluvio-deltaic setting with minor offshore marine influence. The samples from JDZ VII-1 appear to have been deposited in a more terrestrially dominated setting.

최근 국내 하천복원사업의 방향(패러다임)이 구하도를 포함한 홍수터의 중요성을 인식하게 됨에따라 과거 하천사업 시 발생되었던 폐천구역을 가능한 한 하천구역에 편입하여 보존하려는 노력이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 하천복원사업의 일환으로 함평천 구하도 복원을 함으로써 발생할 수 있는 흐름특성변화 및 하상변화를 파악하기 위한 목적으로 수리모형실험과 수치모의를 수행하였다. 실험대상구간은 함평천 중류 구하도 복원구간(1.34 km)이며, 수리모형은 Froude 상사법칙에 따라 수평축척 1/50, 연직축척 1/25의 모형으로 제작하였다. 실험조건으로는 재현기간 50년, 100년의 홍수량과 강턱유량 두 케이스$(100\;m^3/s$, $120\;m^3/s)$를 적용하였고, 구하도 복원수로의 흐름특성은 고정상 조건에 대해 분석하였다. 구하도 복원전/후의 홍수위 비교를 통해 구하도 복원후의 하도에서는 단면확대로 인한 통수능 증가로 홍수위 저감효과를 확인 할 수 있었다. 구하도 복원후의 유속변화는 통수능의 증가로 복원전에 비해 저감되었다. 기존하도와 복원하도간의 유속차가 다소 크게 나타났는데 이는 복원하도의 단면형상과 와류발생으로 인해 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 복원하도내의 유황은 일부구간에서 흐름정체현상과 역류현상이 발생되는데 이 구간에는 퇴적현상이 예측된다. 수리모형실험의 유사퇴적경향과 FESWMS 모형의 하상전단력을 비교한 결과는 유사하게 나타났으며, 복원하도의 넓은 둔치지역에 넓은 퇴적층이 형성되어 차후 환경구조물 등을 이용한 흐름제어 및 유지관리대책에 의한 문제해결이필요할 것으로 판단된다.
