In the present study area, a part of intertidal flat in the Seosan Bay, west coast of Korea, characteristic three dominant tidal sedimentary facies and their related several typical sedimentary structures are described, Furthermore, a possible interpretation about the time stratigraphic developments of these intertidal deposits is suggested by introducing very late Quaternary (Holocene) sea-level rise in Korean Seas.

1970년대부터 시작된 산업화와 도시화는 국토 전반에 걸쳐서 개발을 촉진시켰으며, 그 결과로 나타나기 시작한 홍수재해와 용수부족은 보다 많은 저수시설을 요구하게 되었다. 즉, 홍수유출을 저감시키기 위해서 유역의 저류기능을 강화시킬 수 있는 댐 건설은 이수적인 측면에서 안정적인 용수공급을 보장해주는 수단으로 겸용되어 왔으며, 특히 다목적댐이 건설되면서 하도의 첨두홍수유출량을 줄이는데 크게 기여해 왔다. 댐에 의해 홍수가 사실상 사라진 댐 하류에서는 유사이송이 줄어들면서 주수로는 좁아지며, 낮아진다. 홍수가 없어진 주변 홍수터에는 식생이 활착하여 그 폭이 점차 커지고 하상은 높아진다. 과거 댐 건설 전까지 불안정했던 작은 독려 사주에도 홍수가 없어지면서 식생이 뿌리를 내리게 되고 이로 인하여 식생에 의한 난류변화와 와류의 형성으로 주변에 유사의 퇴적이 증가하게 된다. 결과적으로 식생이 활착할 수 있는 면적이 확장되면서 사주는 점차 넓어진다. 특히, 홍수터나 사주의 외딴 관목 식생에 의한 주변 하상의 세굴, 미립토사의 퇴적, 하상재료의 분급효과는 생태 서식 측면에서 귀중한 휴식처나 피난처를 제공하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하도의 상류에 댐이 건설되고 난 후에 댐하류의 하도에서 발생하고 있는 식생 메카니즘과 이로 인한 조도증가와 유속저하 및 홍수소통능력의 저감현상을 규명하였다.

In this study, boiler tube thickness measurement and numerical analysis were conducted for standard 500MW coal-fired power plant in order to research the mechanism of tangential-fired boiler corrosion empirically. The most dominant corrosion mechanism of tangential-fired boiler waterwall was corrosion by sulfur contained in the unburned carbon. And the secondary mechanism was $H_2S$ gas corrosion at localized reducing atmosphere. It is required to decrease the air-stage combustion operation in order to mitigate the waterwall tube corrosion. Also stringent coal pulverization quality control and reinforcing work for corrosion susceptible area such as anti-corrosion coatings is required

Bottom sediments from Youngil Bay, East Coast of Korea, were analyzed for grain composition as well as elemental compositions and total organic carbon (TOC) content in order to investigate the spatial variability and content of metal elements. Grain size distribution of the sediments seems to be controlled by anticlockwise current pattern with bottom topography of the study area. Spatial variability of TOC and all elemental contents reflects those of grain size, but an exception was found in the harbor area (Old-Port): their contents are high in the central part of the bay with the muddy sediment and decrease toward the sand-dominated coastal zone. However, contents of Ca, Sr, K are high in the sand-dominated coastal zone and contents of some heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn) are high in the Old-Port area and the mouth of Hyeongsan River. The correlation matrix and R-mode factor analyses reveal that four important factors controlling the distribution of metals in the bay are sediment grain size (or quartz dilution effect), the formation of sulfide minerals associated with decomposition of organic matters under anoxic geochemical environment, calcium carbonate (mainly shell fragments) and coarse-grained feldspar mineral. According to the metal content of labile fraction an CER (concentration enrichment ratio) value, high accumulation of some heavy metals in the harbor area seems to result not formed by early diagenetic processes under anoxic environment.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze changes in the depositional landform in the channel of Cha-cheon, a branch stream of Nakdong river(main stream) since the artificial straight channel has been constructed in 1973. The results of analyses are as follow. First, the Cha-cheon has flooded over one time in a year, and flowed backward over three times annually, according to analyze the data of the Hyeonpoong Gauging Station of rainfall and water level during a decade(1993$\sim$2002). Second, the flood plain within the artificial straightened channel has a nearly plain profile between the small dike and last riffle(point A). Deposits thickness of flood plain reduce gradually toward upstream. Third, grain size distribution of the flood plain deposits(0$\sim$20cm) within the artificial straightened channel has a coarsening trend in downstream reach of C point. It implies that the backward flow of Nakdong river(the main stream of Cha-cheon) make effect on the depositional mechanism of lowest reach in Cha-cheon. Finally, the result of analyzing grain size distribution of the flood plain deposits(0$\sim$20cm) within the artificial straightened channel implies that the c-point is the boundary between the vertical deposition of suspended load due to the backward flow of Nakdong river and the deposition of bed load supplied from hillslope of Cha-cheon basin.

Accelerated soil erosion due to extreme climate change, such as increased rainfall intensity, and human-induced environmental changes, is a widely recognized problem. Existing soil erosion models are generally based on the gross erosion concept to compute annual upland soil loss in tons per acre per year. However, such models are not suitable for event-based simulations of erosion and deposition in time and space. Recent advances in computer geographic information system (GIS) technologies have allowed hydrologists to develop physically based models, and the trend in erosion prediction is towards process-based models, instead of conceptually lumped models. This study aims to propose an effective and robust distributed rainfall-sediment yield-runoff model consisting of basic element modules: a rainfall-runoff module based on the kinematic wave method for subsurface and surface flow, and a runoff-sediment yield-runoff model based on the unit stream power method. The model was tested on the Cheoncheon catchment, upstream of the Yongdam dam using hydrological data for three extreme flood events due to typhoons. The model provided acceptable simulation results with respect to both discharge and sediment discharge even though the simulated sedigraphs were underestimated, compared to observations. The spatial distribution of erosion and deposition demonstrated that eroded sediment loads were deposited in the cells along the channel network, which have a short overland flow length and a gentle local slope while the erosion rate increased as rainfall became larger. Additionally, spatially heterogeneous rainfall intensity, dependant on Thiessen polygons, led to spatially-distinct erosion and deposition patterns.

The hydrocarbon source rock potential of the Eocene units in the southern Oregon Coast Range was evaluated by using the Rock-Eval pyrolysis. Most Eocene units in southern Oregon Coast Range are thermally immature and contain lean, gas-prone Type III kerogen. However, some beds(coals) are sufficiently organic-rich to be sources of biogenic and thermogenic methane discovered in numerous seeps. The overall hydrocarbon source rock potential of the southern Oregon Coast Range is moderately low. Several requirements for commercial accumulations of hydrocarbon, however, probably exist locally within and adjacent areas. Three speculative petroleum systems are identified. The first includes the southern part of the Oregon Coast Range near the border with the Mesozoic Klamath Mountains and is related to a proposed subduction zone maturation mechanism along thrust faults. The second is centered in the northern part of the range and may be associated with basin-centered gas in an over-pressured zone. The third occurs near the eastern border of the range where maturation is related heating by sills and migration of hydrothermal fluids associated with mid-Tertiary volcanism in the Western cascade arc.

The destruction of river and damage caused by flood are suddenly increasing due to the abnormal climate. In the investigation result about the damage, approximate 52% of the destruction of embankment are caused by earth work. Moreover, to recover conveyance of relief channel, bed sediment is dredged about 198 millions $m^3$ with 'the project of bed dredging'. So, the concern for bed sediment is the more increasing, the requiring high quality material for banking and the way for application of bed sediment are also the more increasing. In this paper, properties of bed sediment were analyzed through sedimentary mechanism analysis. Moreover, possibility to build embankment with bed sediment in 6 points which is in catchment of the Nak-dong river was also analyzed. At 6 points, which were selected to survey easily, sediment discharge was analyzed with formula. Moreover, size and permeability were analyzed and the feasibility for material of embankment was proposed. If bed sediment wasn't proper, complementary measures were proposed.

생태 수리학적 측면에서 수질 개선에 기여하는 깔따구들이 흐름 구조에 따라서 어떻게 분포하는지를 파악하기 위해 수리 실험을 수행하였다. ADV로 유속을 측정하였으며, 자기 다른 유속 조건하에서 유기물질과 깔따구들을 투입하였다. 취득한 유속자료를 이용하여 흐름구조를 파악하였으며, 난류특성인 난류 전단응력을 분석하였다. 유기물질과 깔따구들은 상대적으로 유속이 느리고 전단응력이 작게 나타나는 지점에 분포하였다. 깔다구들이 굴을 파고 서식을 하였더라도 흐름에 의해 서식처가 옮겨짐을 확인 하였으며, 서식처 역할을 할 수 있는 반구 구조물 주위에 서식하였다. 유기물질의 퇴적 및 깔따구들의 서식은 주로 흐름 방향 유속 분포에 영향을 받으며, 이차류도 이것들의 분포에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다.
