An integrated sediment management approach that includes the recovery of the amount of declined sediment supply is effective as a fundamental solution to coastal erosion. During planning, it is essential to analyze the transfer mechanism of the sediments generated from estuaries (the junction between a river and sea) to assess the amount and rate of sediment discharge (from the river to sea) supplied back to the coast. Although numerical models that interpret the tidal sand bar flushing process during flooding have been studied, thus far, there has been no study focusing on the formation and development processes of tidal sand bars. Therefore, this study aims to construct wave deformation, flow regime calculation, and topographic change analysis models to assess the amount of recovered sediment discharge and reproduce the tidal sand bar formation process through numerical analysis for integrated littoral drift management. The tidal sand bar formation process was simulated, and the wave energy and duration of action concepts were implemented to predict the long-term littoral movement. The river flux and wave conditions during winter when tidal sand bars dominantly develop were considered as the external force conditions required for calculation. The initial condition of the topographic data directly after the Maeupcheon tidal sand bar flushing during flooding was set as the initial topography. Consequently, the tidal sand bar formation and development due to nearshore currents dependent on the incident wave direction were reproduced. Approximately 66 h after the initial topography, a sand bar formation was observed at the Maengbang estuary.

This paper aims to investigate morphological changes of deltaic barrier islands in the Nakdong Estuary and especially their spatial variations after barrage construction. We analyzed shorelines, geometrical centroids, and areas to reveal the changes of barrier islands. Here, we suggest three interesting points from this study. First, each individual barrier island in the Nakdong estuary goes through a different stage of the geomorphic cycle. The frontal barrier islands such as Sinja-do and Doyo-deung grow because they are located in front of the gates of the barrage. Sediments in water out of the gates are moved to offshore and then reworked by coastal processes such as waves and tides. Second, on the contrary, Baekhap-deung located behind Doyo-deung now diminishes indicating that sediments mainly move to the frontal growing island. Third, there is no morphological change in several barrier islands far away from the main flow of the Nakdong river such as Jinwoo-do, Daema-deung, and Jangja-do. In conclusion, barrier islands in the Nakdong estuary show distinct spatial variations. As a barrier island is closer to the main channel or is in the frontal location, there happens a very dynamic change in the morphology of the island.

The Geomorphological properties and ages of river-mouth bar at Song-cheon River in the East Coast of Korea, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk Province are estimated, and the long-term and short-term changing processes and causes are analyzed. Sand grains of the bar near the coastline show the finer trends from south to north and these can be attributed to the northward movement of waves and long-shore currents. The absolute ages of bar and nearby coastal sand dune are less than approximately 100 years ago, indicating that the bar has experienced the active geomorphological changes. While the inlet located at south part of the bar between 1971 and 1995, the inlet has located at north or middle part since 1995. These may caused by the changes of movement directions of waves and long-shore currents due to the apparent northward movements of winds and currents. In short-term, the higher elevation, larger area, simpler landform relief and more variable location of inlet and morphology of bar can be observed between September and March due to the dominance of sedimentary processes by wave and wind processes.

울산광역시 울주군 온산읍에 위치한 회야강의 하구폐색은 1990년대 중반부터 주목을 받아서 연구 되어오고 있다. 하천의 하구에서는 일반적으로 파랑류, 취송류와 하천류 뿐 아니라 해류나 조류 등의 영향도 받는다. 회야강 하구는 이러한 흐름과 더불어 독특한 지형이 영향을 주어서 더욱 복잡한 흐름특성을 보인다. 이러한 복잡한 흐름의 영향으로 회야강 하구에서 사주가 강하게 발생하고 이로 인해서 하구폐색이 나타나고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 1997년부터 2004년 진하 방사제를 설치하였으나 이후에도 하구폐색이 계속 진행되었기 때문에 정기적인 준설로 하구폐색을 막고 있는 실정이다. 근본적으로 하구폐색을 막기 위해서 장기적인 관점에서 하상변동특성과 표사 및 유사의 이동 특성에 대한 과학적인 해석이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대상해역에 가장 큰 영향인자로 예상되는 하천류와 해빈류에 대해서 검토하였다. 하천류 검토를 위해서는 회야강에서 유출하는 유사량을 혼합입경의 관점에서 실험하였고, 도류제 설치 유무에 따른 하구역에서의 지형변동 및 하구폐색현상을 해석하였다. 해빈류 검토에서는 파랑에 의한 회야강 하구인근에서의 흐름장과 침퇴적 해석을 통해 하구 인근해역의 지형변동특성을 고찰하였다. 회야강 하구에서 혼합입경($d_{10}$, $d_{50}$, $d_{90}$)을 고려하여 하천류의 수치실험을 수행한 결과 유출시간의 경과에 따라 하구역의 하상고가 점차 상승하여 하구사주가 발달하고 이로인하여 하구폐색이 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 또 유송토사량에 대한 해석결과 홍수량 증가에 비례하여 유송토사량이 점차 증가하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 평수시에는 하천의 유출량이 미소하여 하구폐색현상의 주외력은 파랑에 의한 해빈류인 것으로 판단되며 이같은 외력조건에 의해 하구에서 연안사주 발생이 강하게 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 파랑에 의한 해빈류가 회야강 하구에서 순환류의 형태로 나타나고 있으며, 이의 결과로 도류제 설치 후에도 하구부 인근해역에서 퇴적이 지속적으로 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Collected and analyzed the coastal processes at the estuary of Nak-Dong river and its near coastal area from the history of field measurements. Introduced a numerical model to predict three dimensional topographical change which are evaluated from the nearshore wave and the wave induced current fields for the objective area, and later it were related to the development of beach and shoals. With the comparison between measured and calculated, we found that the changes on the coastline and sand spit and bar development are induced not only by artificial forces due to the construction of river dike, but also by the strong impact of wave induced current. In future days, it is expected that coastline change and sand bar development at the lee side of Jinwoo-Deung and at the front of Dadae beach.

Estuary sand bar of Namdaecheon Stream is located in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do in Korea. This unique place is situated between end of Namdaecheon Stream and East Sea. It is an important environment area of the global ecosystem from the transition zone of land and marine environments by forming a variety of coastal circumstance. Some endemic species should be protected which is appearing in the Namdaecheon Stream because of preservation for future generations. Especially, the salmon return to this stream as adults in order to breed which is more than 70 % of the salmon in Korea peninsular. The monitoring of estuary sand bar is need to analyze ecological environment and sustainable development with time. First of all we represents a different shape of estuary sand bar of Namdaecheon Stream from 1984 to 2015 using Landsat satellite imagery series. Particularly movement of the "tidal inlet" is most important factor to investigate the condition of the change for estuary sand bar. The location of tidal inlet is compared with precipitation, height of tide and oceanic current data according to time variation.

낙동강 하구의 맹금머리등, 백합등, 도요등의 세 개의 사주의 갈대분포와 관련된 토양 및 수질환경요인을 조사하였다. 대상지역의 갈대우점지역과 비우점지역에 대하여 토양 유기물 함량, 양이온 교환능력과 같은 토양 특성을 조사한 결과 이들 특성이 사주형성시기와 갈대의 분포유무와 관계있는 것으로 조사되었다. 유기물 함량은 갈대서식지역이 더 높게 나타났는데 이는 갈대의 성장으로 인한 토양의 유기물 축적 결과로 하구의 갈대가 사주의 토양환경에 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 토양내 질소와 인 농도 역시 갈대우점지역에서 비우점지역에 비해 높게 나타났는데, 이는 토양 내 영양염류가 많은 곳을 갈대가 선호함과 동시에 갈대에 함유된 질소와 인성분이 토양에 집적된 두 가지 경우를 모두 고려할 수 있다. 수질조사 결과 현재 해수의 수질이 직접적으로 갈대의 분포에 영향을 주는 것은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 토양양이온능력과 유기물 함량과 같은 토양특성 조사와 함께 고려하면 퇴적으로 인한 사주형성 및 토양유실과 갈대분포와 관련이 이는 사주에 형성된 식생이 사주의 영양물질 순환에 어떻게 영향을 미치는 가를 잘 설명해 주는 예라 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 해양환경을 파악하는 데에 가장 기초적인 자료라고 할 수 있는 수심자료를 GIS 데이터로 구축하여 1979년부터 2004년까지의 금강하구의 수심변화를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 금강하구는 시간이 흐를수록 수심이 깊어지는 지역보다는 얕아지는 지역이 점진적으로 늘어가고 있으며, 금강하구둑의 수문 폐쇄, 남 북측 도류제 및 북방파제 축조, 서측호안 매립공사 등이 완공되거나 진행되어진 1990년대 중반 이후에는 수심이 얕아지는 면적이 증가함과 동시에 얕아지는 정도가 보다 급진적으로 진행되어 2004년에는 하구둑 전면과 대죽사주는 저조시에 해수면 위로 노출되는 해저면의 높이가 4m이상에 이르는 부분이 확산되었다. 금강하구 내 수심변화특성은 지역적으로 다소 차이를 보이므로 5개의 세부지역으로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 하구둑-군산내항, 군산내항-군산외항, 개야수로, 대죽사주 지역은 현시점에 가까워질수록 수심이 얕아지는 경향이, 도류제 지역은 수심이 깊어지는 경향이 뚜렷이 나타났으며, 서측호안 지역은 시기별로 얕아지는 경향과 깊어지는 경향이 교차되며 나타났다. 하구둑-군산내항, 군산내항-군산외항, 개야수로, 대죽사주 지역에서 꾸준한 준설공사가 있었음에도 불구하고 수심이 얕아지고 있다는 것은 퇴적작용이 매우 우세하게 진행되고 있음을 시사한다.

We investigated the deposition characteristics and mass transport flux estimation of the Nakdong estuary, Korea. To understand the effects of the tidal current circulation that influences estuary terrain changes, we used a 2D numerical model to map seawater circulation under three different situations, with the level of river flow being set as none or flood. The net-water flux of the cross-sectional area between sandbars (known as dung) was estimated. From our review of previous research, we know that the development of local sandbars shifted from the west to the east side of the estuary after the construction of the Nakdong River dike. Current development is occurring mostly at the Bakhap-dung near Tadea. The seawater circulation pattern over this large-scale area of tidal na is brings changes related to the quantity of the outflow from the Nakdong River. Based on the calculated results for the net-water flux of the cross-sectional area, we see very strong accumulation in local waters around Jangjiado, Bakhapdung, and Tadae under flood river flow conditions, but accumulation in local waters around Jinudo under the other states of flow. Consequently, in the Nakdong estuary, the main sensitive regions that are affected by changes in the flow of river discharge are the local waters around Jangiado, Bakhapdung, Tadae, and Jinudo.

The Nakdong Delta can be identified by two different geomorphic units. The first one is the upper delta. This is mostly composed of inter-distributary islands that are largely influenced by fluvial processes and attributed to the development of these islands along the river. The other one is the lower delta which is mostly composed of beach ridges. Barrier islands are largely effected by wave processes promoted by the development almost at a right angle to the river. Influenced by the longshore current which flows to the same direction, barrier islands located in the Nakdong river estuary are developing from east to west direction. As a result, the eastern end of the barrier islands are growing toward the north-west direction effected by tidal current which moves toward the same direction. Barrier islands include the Sinho Island, the Jinwoo Island, the Daema deung, the Janga Island, the Baghap deung, the Sae deung, and the Chulsae deung(Doyeo deung). They have orderly emerged from the sea since 1861. Since 2008, a new Deung, a sand dune growing under sea, has been developing rapidly from Chulsae deung to the Dadaepo beach. It made the sailing of small fisher boats impossible. Tidal currents transported a lot of sand and silt around the barrier islands. The landscape of Nakdong river estuary where many barrier islands are distributed will change rapidly affecting land environment.
