The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the formative processes of depositional landforms in Jiwoo drainage basin which located in the most upstream reach of Namgang River. Through the analysis of morphologic characteristics and sedimentary facies, the formative processes can be summarized as follow: First, the high depositional landforms(Sapyeong, Eungam, Naedongdyttle site) were formed by gelifluction process in the periglacial environment during the last glacial period. And the relative height over river bed of them is getting lower from upper to downstream. The extent of the high depositional landforms is assumed about 1 kilometer downstream far from the confluence of Jiwoo stream and Namgang River. Second, the sediments in the gentle slope at Jangseungbuldle were carried by gelifluction process during the last glacial stage after the deep-weathered bedrock had formed a gentle slope. Third, the high depositional landforms were dissected during warm and humid environment of postglacial stage, and some sediments of them were left in the river bed. Later, as the more upstream high depositional landforms were dissected completely, stream power was getting more than resistance(sediment storage) and the low depositional landforms(Sapyeong, Yongchusa, Deungbangdle site) were formed.

충남 서부 활석광산 주변의 수계에 대한 원소 함량특성에 대해 알아보고자 대흥 및 광천광산에 대해 수질 및 하상 퇴적물 시료와 함께 광산 주변 토양 및 모암 시료를 채취, 비교하였다. 대흥지역 퇴적물은 대부분 원소에서 SP가 GN에 비해 높았는데 이는 퇴적물 내 유색 및 무색광물 함량 차이로 판단된다. 절대 함량 비교에서 광물 결정구조 내 쉽게 Mg와 치환하는 원소는 낮은비율을, Fe와 치환하는 원소는 높은 비율을 보였는데 이는 퇴적물 내 주 구성광물내 원소 치환특성을 반영하기 때문으로 판단된다. 절대 함량의 감소 순서와 타원소들과 높은 상관관계(>0.85)의 빈도를 보이는 원소들 사이의 차이는 퇴적물 화학조성에 이차광물과 비정질 광물등의 조성도 반영되었음을 암시한다. 대흥지역 지표수는 대부분 원소에서 MSP가 SP와 GN의 중간값을, MSG는 LGN과 MSP의 중간값을 조여 수계의 혼합특성을반영하는 것으로 판단된다. 절대 함량관계에서는 SP는 GW1과 유사했고, GN은 LGN과 유사했으며, 절대함량은(Mg, Fe), (As, Sc), (Mo, V, Se) 순서로 낮아졌다. 광천지역은 갱내수가 천부 지하수에 비해 대부분 원소에서 높은 함량을 보였는데, 이는 갱내수가 더욱더 많은 물-암석반응을 거친 때문으로 판단된다. 절대 함량은 Mg, Br, Fe, (Sc, Cr), (An, Ni, V)순서로 감소하였다. 갱냉수의 지역간 원소 함량 차이는 사문암화가 우세한 광천지역과 활석화가 우세한 대흥지역 모암들 사이의물-암석 상화반응의 차이를 보여주는 것으로 판단된다 두 지역의 상부 토양 및 모암 조성에서 SP가 GN에 비해 높은 Mg 비, Ni, Cr, Co 등 함량을 보였는데, 이는 사문암 지역 내 Mg, Ni, Cr 등이 풍부한 광물들 탓으로 판단된다. 퇴적물과 수질 사이에서는 함량 경향을 뚜렷하지 않았고 원소에 따라 서로 다른 힘량 차이를 보였는데, 이는 퇴적물 원소 함량이 수계 조성을 반영하는 것이 아님을 나타낸다. 상부-토양-암석-수계의 조성관계에서 대흥지역 지표수 중 SP 조성이, 광천지역은 갱냉수가 지하수의 조성에 가까웠다.

Surface sediments for sedimentary analyses were sampled at 199 stations in the study area in August 2003. The surface sediments consisted of six sedimentary facies. Generally, sandy mud sediments dominated in the southern tidal flat of Ganghwa Island and sand sediments dominated in channel and subtidal zones of the western part of Ganghwa Island. The area of sandy mud sediment extended to eastward tidal flat compared to sedimentary facies in August 1997. In 30 surface sediment samples from the Ganghwa tidal flat and subtidal zone, 61 species were recorded in total assemblages, including 34 species of living population. Ammonia beccarii and Elphidium etigoense in living population and Ammonia beccarii, Elphidium etigoense, Jadammina sp. and Textularia earlandi in total assemblage were widely distributed. Generally, relatively large numbers of species and high values of species diversity occurred in the area of western part of tidal flat. Cluster analysis of total assemblages discriminates four biofacies. Biofacies 1 indicated eastern part of the tidal flat and biofacies 4 indicated western part of the tidal flat. Biofacies 3 were transitional zone between biofacies 1 and 4.

장기간에 걸친 지형변화를 예측하는 것은 기초과학뿐만 아니라 응용과학 및 해양 공학적인 측면에서 볼 때 매우 중요하다. 퇴적물 이동과 지형변화의 예측은 항만의 수로를 유지하고, 폭풍에 의한 침식을 방제 할 뿐 아니라 지질학적 time-scale에서 퇴적층 형성을 이해함으로서 경제적으로 유용한 석유자원 매장을 밝히는데 도움을 준다. 그렇지만 퇴적역학에 대한 이해가 불충분하고 지형환경 system이 복잡하기 때문에 퇴적물 이동 및 지형변화에 대한3차원 모델을 통한 지형 변화 예측을 실용적으로 사용하기에는 불충분하다. (중략)

A Q-mode factor analysis for 115 surficial bottom sediments on the continental shelf off the southeast coast of Korean Peninsula(the Korea Strait) has been carried out to determine the depositional environments. The first four factors are taken as the "principal" factors, and the results are considered to represent the depositional history and sedimentary processes in relation to the Holocene sea-level changes. The fact implies that the sediments are grouped as outer-shelf relict sand sediments, inner-shelf modern muddy sediments, and finally the palimpsest sediments that are mainly distributed within and around the Korea Trough.

Cyanobacterial resting cells, such as akinetes, are important seed cells for cyanobacteria's early development and bloom. Due to their importance, various methods have been attempted to isolate resting cells present in the sediment. Ludox is a solution mainly used for cell separation in marine sediments, but finding an accurate method for use in freshwater is difficult. This study compared the two most commonly used Ludox methods (direct sediment treatment and sediment distilled water suspension treatment). Furthermore, we proposed a highly efficient method for isolating cyanobacterial resting cells and eDNA amplification from freshwater sediments. Most of the resting cells found in the sediment were akinete to the Nostocale and were similar to those of Dolichospermum, Cylindrospermum, and Aphanizomenon. Twenty times more akinetes were found in the conical tube column using the sediment that had no treatment than in the sample treated by suspending the sediment in distilled water. Akinete separated through Ludox were mainly spread over the upper and lower layers in the column rather than concentrated at a specific depth in the column layer. The mibC, Geo, and 16S rDNA genes were successfully amplified using the sediment directly in the sample. However, the amplification products of all genes were not found in the sample in which the sediment was suspended in distilled water. Therefore, 5 g to 10 g of sediment is used without pretreatment when isolating cyanobacterial resting cells from freshwater sediment. Cell isolation and gene amplification efficiency are high when four times the volume of Ludox is added. The Ludox treatment method presented in this study isolates cyanobacterial resting cells in freshwater sediment, and the same efficiency may not appear in other biotas. Therefore, to apply Ludox to the separation of other biotas, it is necessary to conduct a pre-experiment to determine the sediment pretreatment method and the water layer where the target organism exists.

The Munamdong Formation is a small scale sedimentary deposit which is located in Yuljeonri, Naemyeon, Hongcheon Gangwon-do. In order to understand the depositional environment and its sequential change in the formation, sedimentary facies analysis was conducted. The result indicates that the Munamdong Formation began to be deposited in alluvial fan system accompanying volcanic activity and gradually deposited in lake system. As well, U-Pb, K-Ar and $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ ages are determined from the Munamdong Formation. The SHRIMP U-Pb Phanerozoic Eon age of the detrital zircons in the middle part of the Munamdong formation yields $229.8{\pm}2.5Ma$. The K-Ar and $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ ages of the volcanic rock in the lowermost part of the Munamdong formation are $203.7{\pm}3.9Ma$ and $227.4{\pm}8.4Ma$ respectively. These results confirm that the Munamdong Formation was deposited during the Late Triassic, indicating that the basin might be formed due to post-collisional rifting or collapsing.

This study was carried out to investigate sedimentary environment changes in Nakdong River sediments. For this purpose, sediments at six sites upstream of Gangjeong-Goryung Weir in the middle of the Nakdong River were collected before and after the rainy season. Particles size, IL, TOC, TN, TP, and SRP were analyzed for the sediment environment. The changes in the watershed environment before and after the rainy season (precipitation, discharge, and SS concentration) were investigated. After the rainy season, the amount of precipitation and discharge increased more than three times, and the average concentration of SS in the stream increased more than two times. Fine grained sediment and the concentrations of IL, TOC, TN, TP, SRP were increased after the rainy season. As a result of sediment contamination assessment, IL was 19~68% of the reference value, TN and TP were 21~76% and 21~58% of the reference value. The result showed strong correlation between particle size (Silt+Clay) and organic contents of sediment (IL, TOC, TN, TP and SRP). It is considered that the change of the river watershed environment (precipitation, discharge) is an important factor of the change of sedimentation environment.

A 31m-long sediment core (SSDP-102) was taken from the inner shelf (about 40m water-depth) off the northwestern coast of the Korea Strait. Detailed lithofacies and organic-geochemical analyses were performed to establish a high-resolution stratigraphy in the Korea Strait shelf and to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental changes associated with the Holocene marine transgression. The stratigraphic framework of the core was primarily established using 6 AMS $^{14}C$ ages. The sedimentary record of the core SSDP-102 allows for the reconstruction of the paleoenvironmental changes during the last 12.1 ka BP. According to the high-resolution seismic reflection profiles, lithofacies and organic-geochemical data, the core SSDP-102 can be divided into three units (III to I in ascending order) above the acoustic basement. The three units reflect distinct changes of depositional environments resulted from the post-glacial marine transgression. Therefore, it is suggested that three phases of sea-level change have occurred within the inner shelf of the Korea Strait following the Holocene marine transgression. (1) estuarine environments from ca. 12.1 to 6.2 ka BP; (2) near-shore environments with a period of decreased rising of sea level between 6.2 and 5.1 ka BP; (3) near-shore to modem marine environments after 5.1 ka BP. In particular, the present marine conditions influenced by the warm Tsushima Current have been gradually established after ca. 5.1 ka BP.

Based on previous investigations of aerial photographs and topographical surveys, this study focuses on the sedimentologic features of the Daebudo area including sedimentation processes, sedimentary facies and hydrologic conditions of the erosional coast. A total of 137 surface sediments and one core (by hand auger) sediment were obtained to interpret the depositional environment of the erosional coast in the macro-tidal coast. Surface sediments are distributed from sandy gravel (sG) to silt (Z). Textural parameters are characterized not only by coarse, poorly sorted, positive skewed and multi-modal distribution in the supra-tidal flat, but also finer, relatively well-sorted, symmetric distribution in the intertidal flat. According to the C/M diagram, sediment transport modes of study area are characterized by the mixed mode of suspension and bedload in the upper-, middle-tidal flat and by uniform suspension in the lower-tidal flat due to tidal effect. Vertical sediment distribution of the core, collected near shoreline, shows coarsening-upward, poorly sorted pattern by the input of detritus resulting from coastal erosion. Considering the sedimentological features of the study area, it appears to be composed of a coastal zone changed by not only artificial reclamation, but also by natural processes such as strong wave action due to typhoons and storms during high water level and long/short-term sea level rising. As a result, tide-dominated erosional coasts show that the shore is affected by local, temporal and hydrological conditions near high tide level and that the intertidal flat is represented by a general tide-dominated sedimentary environment.
