We conducted a field survey of the generation and development of the delta area of the Nakdong River estuary, Korea. To examine deposition and erosion of the barrier islands, we observed the spatiotemporal variations of sediment transport and quantitatively estimated the settling velocity of coastal sediment. For the field survey, we established two survey sites off the coasts of Jinu Island and Doyodeung, which had shown rapid variations in deposition and erosion. At these sites, we measured the net surface elevation change of the bottom level at approximately 1-month intervals. Main findings were summarized as follows. (1) Calculated daily deposition and erosion velocity during the observation period ranged from -1.39 to 3.56cm/day at Jinu Island and from -4.0 to 3.07cm/day at Doyodeung, respectively. (2) Although two typhoons passed by the study area during the observation period, the maximum net surface elevation was larger in October than during the passage of those typhoons.

해안과 만나는 하천의 하구부에서는 해수의 흐름에 따른 연안토사의 이동과 유황에 따른 하천상류에서의 토사유입량에 의해 하구부가 빠르게 변화한다. 본 연구대상지인 가곡천은 유로연장이 짧고 경사가 급한 산지하천의 특징을 가지고 있어 집중호우시 토사가 하류로 빠르게 유입되어 일반하천에 비하여 하구부의 지형변화가 크게 일어난다. 가곡천 하구부는 모래사장으로 이루어져 있는 호산해수욕장과 경관적 및 자연적 가치로 인해 보존 필요성이 대두되고 있는 하중도인 솔섬이 위치해 있다. 그러나 현재 솔섬 주변 하구부 인근의 일반산업단지 건설과 고향의 강 조성사업에 따른 하도환경의 변화로 하도를 유하하는 유수의 흐름 및 침퇴적 양상의 변화를 가져와 홍수의 원활한 소통에 지장을 초래하고 있다. 또한 현장조사 및 모니터링 결과 하구 지형변화로 인해 하도안정 유지관리에도 막대한 영향을 끼치는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가곡천 하구부의 하도환경 변화에 따른 수리학적 특성 및 하천형태학적인 변화를 분석하여 하도안정을 파괴하는 요인을 규명하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구방법은 가곡천 하천정비기본계획의 빈도별 홍수량, 기점홍수위를 경계조건으로 2차원 수리해석 모형인 SRH-2D모형을 이용하여 하도환경 변화 전 후의 대상구간에 대해 수리특성 및 하상변동 양상을 모의하였다. 모의결과 하도환경 변화(홍수터 및 징검여울 등의 하천시설물 조성)에 따른 수리특성변동양상과 침 퇴적지점에 대한 변동경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 동해안 하구부에 위피한 하천의 다양한 변화 해석시 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

High resolution seismic profiles (chirp and sparker system) were analyzed for the interpretation of nearshore sedimentary environments of Suyeong Bay, Busan. The sedimentary sequence is classified into three seismic units (SU1a, SU1b, and SU2), overlying acoustic basement, and each units can be defined as erosional and disconformable strata. The lowermost SU1a is characterized by the acoustically parallel and prolonged inner reflections, compared with the upper SU1b displays irregular internal reflectors. The uppermost unit, SU2, is acoustically transparent. The acoustic basement is incised with channels, probably due to the active erosion during the early period of transgression. The acoustic basement deepens eastward in the study area, suggesting primary association with the Suyeong River. The upper SU1a and SU1b units constitute lowland-fill strata. SU2 is widely distributed over the study area. High resolution seismic profiles of Suyeong Bay provide significant information crucial to the interpretation of sedimentary environmental history, which is closely related to the sea level change, estuarine environment and influx of terrestrial sediments from the adjacent rivers.

Damyang Wetland, a riverine wetland, has been designated as the first wetland protection area in South Korea and is a candidate area for the Mudeungsan Area UNESCO Global Geopark. The Damyang Wetland area is the upstream part of the Yeongsan River and is now a relatively wide plain. To reconstruct the sedimentary environment around the Damyang Wetland, core samples were obtained, and sedimentary facies analysis, AMS and OSL age dataings, grain size, and geochemical analyses were carried out. In addition, comprehensive sedimentary environment changes were reconstructed using previous core data obtained from this wetland area. In the Yeongsan River upstream area, where the Damyang Wetland is located, fluvial terrace deposits formed during the late Pleistocene are distributed in an area relatively far from the river. As a gravel layer is widely distributed throughout the plains, Holocene sediments were likely deposited in a braided river environment when the sea level stabilized after the middle Holocene. Then, as the sedimentary environment changed from a braided river to a meandering river, the influx of sand-dominated sediments increased, and a floodplain environment was formed around the river. In addition, based on the pollen data, it is inferred that the climate was warm and humid around 6,000 years ago, with wetland deposits forming afterward. The the trench survey results of the river area around the Damyang Wetland show that a well-rounded gravel layer occurs in the lower part, covered by the sand layer. The Damyang Wetland was likely formed after the construction of Damyang Lake in the 1970s, as muddy sediments were deposited on the sand layer.

Current study is a part of the efforts to assess the estuarine barrage effects on the coastal ecosystem induced by the Si flux changes. Surface sediments from Seomjin and Nakdong estuary and sediment cores from Nakdong estuary was analysed to investigate the effect of estuarine barrage on the distribution of grain size, organic matter (loss on ignition: LOI) and biogenic silica (BSi). The samples of Seomjin estuary were collected in March, 2015 and those of Nakdong estuary were collected in November, 2014. Generally, the longitudinal distribution of grain size, LOI and BSi in Seomjin estuary, natural estuary, was gradually changed. However mud (silt and clay), LOI and BSi increased from station mid-estuary where tide reaches year-round. The distribution of grain size, LOI and BSi in Nakdong estuary, however, were entirely different between inside and outside of estuarine barrage. The mud percentage and LOI were low and consistent in inside of the barrage except R05, inside of right gate, yet those of outside of the barrage were higher and varied by adjacent sluices. Mud, LOI and BSi of ND1 and ND2 decreased immediately after the construction of Nakdong estuarine barrage due to disturbance of sediment and decrease of sediment supply. To exclude the physical effects by the barrage, BSi excess ($BSi_{exc}$) was calculated using regression equation of BSi-LOI and BSi-mud of Seomjin estuary. $BSi_{exc}$ of Seomjin estuary decreased gradually from upper estuary to lower estuary. $BSi_{exc}$ of Nakdong estuary were positive in inside of the barrage and negative in outside of the barrage. BSi retention and shift of species composition of diatom by the barrage would affect $BSi_{exc}$ distribution. Before the construction of Nakdong estuarine barrage, $BSi_{exc}$ of ND2 was negative and consistent owing to high mud sedimentation. After the construction, $BSi_{exc}$ of ND2, however, fluctuated due to continuous disturbance of sediment due to construction of Eulsuk bridge and East gate.

The Gochang-gun Dongho macro-tide pocket-type beach, located on the southwestern coast of Korea, is investigated in terms of the seasonal variations of surface sediment and sedimentary environment. Surface sediments of 45 sites in four seasons (May 2006-February 2007) are sampled across three survey lines (15 sites in each survey line). The surface sediments of the Dongho Beach are mainly composed of fine to coarse sands, and the ratio of fine sand is the largest. The average of grain size is the coarsest in the summer. The spatial distribution of surface sediments shows a coast-parallel band of fine and medium sands during three seasons of spring, fall, and winter, whereas medium sands dominated in the northern part of the study area during the summer. These results suggest that a tide is more effective than a wave in the surface sediments of the Dongho Beach during the summer.

회동저수지를 중심으로 수영강 일대 하상퇴적물에 대한 PAHs(Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) 오염특성 연구가 진행되었다. 하상퇴적물의 화학분석결과, 16 EPA PAHs 중 naphthalene 등 총 15개 성분이 검출되었으며, benzo(a)anthracene과 chrysene의 검출빈도가 가장 높고, 총 PAHs는 최대 7,116 ppb가 검출되었다. 한편 퇴적물 내 PAHs의 심도별 함량 변화는, 대체로 하부 시료에 비해 상부 시료에 PAHs 함량이 높게 나타나며, 특히 상부의 점토질 토양과 하부의 현지 토양이 함께 산출되는 시료의 경우, 하부 현지 토양에서의 PAHs 함량에 비해 상부 점토질 토양에서의 PAHs 함량이 높으며, 이는 PAHs가 수영강 으로부터 유입되어 주로 상부 점토질 퇴적물에 축적된 결과로 판단된다. PAHs의 기원은 전반적으로 수영강 상류지역에서는 연소 기원을 보이며, 수영강 하류에서는 교량 및 도심지역에서의 차량통행과 관련이 있는 석유류의 특징을 나타내며, 회동저수지의 경우 석유류와 연소 기원의 특징을 복합적으로 보여주고 있다.

Cohesive sediment transport in coastal region has been studied by numerical modeling. A finite element numerical model was setup to simulate hydrodynamics and sediment transport in the coastal region with complex topography. Only physical features of observed sediments has been used to determine erosion rates of bottom sediments together with the previous research results. The simulation results using the simply determined equation of erosion rates were compared with time variations of the observed SS concentration and showed good agreements. In conclusion, this method can be used to estimate transport of cohesive sediment conveniently.
