This study was conducted to examineboth the type of wood decay and the degree of degradation for the waterlogged woods (Alnus spp. and Fraxinus spp., about 5,700~5,900 year old), which were excavated at Higokri, Pyungteak in the west-coastal region of Korea. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation indicated the degradations by soft rot and bacteria were common in both woods. Erosion bacteria attacked gradually and irregularly from the secondary layer to compound middle lamella and often produced the cavity which was similar to soft-rot cavity but much smaller ones. Tunneling bacteria decomposed mainly $S_2$ layer. Though of highly degraded walls, the cells almost kept the original form with intact lignin-rich middle lamella, which were saturated by water. No marine borer's trace indicated that the sealine rise in the western coast of Korean peninsula during the climate optimum period in the holocene might not be high enough to submerge the Higokri area which locates about 2 km from the present sealine.

A horizontal 2-D model which includes the wetting-drying treatment technique in the intertidal zone is established for the prediction of tidal changes and contaminant transport due to the development of Incheon coastal zone. The flow model is verified by the measurement data at Jeong-Do, and then the computed values are closely matched to the observed water elevations and velocities of main-flow direction. And then, the tidal change patterns are simulated using this model before and after the construction of the Youngjongdo New Airport and Shihwa Seadike. In the spring tide condition, pollutants transport pattern is also simulated for the arbitrary pollutants loads. By the analysis of this numerical simulation results, the velocities after development are decreased, and discharged pollutants are mainly transported by the advection along a narrow deep trough. Thus, this model can be used as the compatible prediction model for the tidal change and pollutant transport due to the development plan of Incheon coastal zone.

Simulation modeling was applied to predict the response of northeast Florida coastal wetlands to futrue sea levl rise due to global warming. Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GLS) were used to develop, manipulate, and synthesize input data, including land cover, digital elevation data, and site characteristics data. The SLAMM3 model evaluated this input data to predict responses of coastal wetlands and lowlands to inundation and erosion by sea level rise, and determined transfers from one habitat to another on a cell-by-cell basis. Significant changes were predicted from different scenarios of sea level rise: 0.5m, 1.0m, and 1.25m. The simulations indicated that 31.9 percent and 40.0 percent of wetlands within the study area would be lost with 1.0m and 1.25m sea level rise respectively, and a 6.5 percent loss with 0.5m rise.

Coastal disasters have become one of the most important issues in every coastal country. In Korea, coastal disasters such as storm surge, sea level rise and extreme weather have placed many coastal regions in danger of being exposed or damaged during subsequent storms and gradual shoreline retreat. A storm surge is an onshore gush of water associated with a tow pressure weather system, typically in typhoon season. However, it is very difficult to predict storm surge height and inundation due to the irregularity of the course and intensity of a typhoon. To provide a new scheme of typhoon damage prediction model, the scenario which changes the central pressure, the maximum wind radius, the track and the proceeding speed by corresponding previous typhoon database, was composed. The virtual typhoon scenario database was constructed with individual scenario simulation and evaluation, in which it extracted the result from the scenario database of information of the hereafter typhoon and information due to climate change. This virtual typhoon scenario database will apply damage prediction information about a typhoon. This study performed construction and analysis of the simulation system with the storm surge/coastal inundation model at Masan coastal areas, and applied method for predicting using the scenario of the storm surge.

We have studied the changes of the environmental and vegetational factors according to the hydro-seral stages in the shoreline of the lagoons, Korea. We have divided seral stages into 7 stages from open water stage to the stratified forest stage considering as the characteristics of water body, dominance of submerged and emergent plant, and development of the shrub, subtree and tree layer. According to the successional stage, water depth gradually decreased and water quality changed from seawater to brackish water and from brackish water to fresh water, organic matter in a soil layer gradually increased, and the litter layer grew up. As the development of the vegetation structure, the life-form of the vascular plants changed as follows; open water ${\rightarrow}$ submerged plant and floating-leaved plant ${\rightarrow}$ emergent plant and submerged plant ${\rightarrow}$ emergent plant ${\rightarrow}$ emergent plant, mesophyte and scrub ${\rightarrow}$ mesophyte. In the late seral stage, the 3 different forest types were established by the water retention or drainage and nutrient accumulation of the soil layer. Salix dominant forest developed in the wetted sites, the forest type dominated by Pinus thunbergii, Carex pumila and mesophytes developed in the well drained sites causing by sand substrate, and the forest type dominated by the planted or ruderals such as Pinus densiflora, Robinia psedo-acacia, Festuca ovina, Setaria viridis ect. developed in the sites composed of forest soil introduced by artificial reclamation.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the spatial distribution of errors in the DEM generated using waterlines from multi-temporal remote sensing data and to assess flood vulnerability. Unlike conventional research in which only global statistics of errors have been generated, this paper tries to quantitatively analyze the spatial distribution of errors from a probabilistic viewpoint using geostatistical simulation. The initial DEM in Baramarae tidal flats was generated by corrected tidal level values and waterlines extracted from multi-temporal Landsat data in 2010s. When compared with the ground measurement height data, overall the waterline-based DEM underestimated the actual heights and local variations of the errors were observed. By applying sequential Gaussian simulation based on spatial autocorrelation of DEM errors, multiple alternative error distributions were generated. After correcting errors in the initial DEM with simulated error distributions, probabilities for flood vulnerability were estimated under the sea level rise scenarios of IPCC SERS. The error analysis methodology based on geostatistical simulation could model both uncertainties of the error assessment and error propagation problems in a probabilistic framework. Therefore, it is expected that the error analysis methodology applied in this paper will be effectively used for the probabilistic assessment of errors included in various thematic maps as well as the error assessment of waterline-based DEMs in tidal flats.

Climate changes consistently cause coastal accidents such as coastal flooding, so the studies on monitoring the marine environments are progressing to prevent and reduce the damage from coastal accidents. In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate the sea level which can be applied to the tidal sensors to monitor the variation of sea level. Existing sea level models are very complicated and need a lot of tidal data, so they are not proper for tidal sensors. On the other hand, the proposed algorithm is very simple but precise since we use the measured data from the sensor to estimate the sea level value in short period such as one or two hours. It is shown by experimental results that the proposed method is simple but predicts the sea level accurately.

최근 빈발하는 국지성 호우나 태풍에 의한 집중호우로 도시지역의 내배수불량으로 인하여 저지대 및 지하공간의 침수현상이 빈번히 야기하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 연안이나 외수위의 영향으로 강제배수가 요구되는 지역인 경우에는 개발에 앞서 선결해야할 중요한 재해저감대책 중의 하나이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 연안의 해수면 및 하천 홍수위로 인한 계획단지 내 배수관로의 동수위 산정을 위한 유출모의를 수행하였다. 연안저지대의 순성토 지역인 경우 동수위 계산에 따른 성토량에 의한 비용이 전체 공사비 결정 요인의 가장 큰 부분을 차지하고 있으므로 이에 따른 경제적이면서 치수안전도를 증가시킬 수 있는 계산 방법을 정립하는 것은 선결되어야 할 문제이다. 이를 위해 도시유역에 범용적으로 사용되고 있는 SWMM 모형을 활용하였다. SWMM 모형 중에서 EXTRAN 블록을 통한 유출모의는 관거내 동수경사를 계산하여 배수, 역류, 압력류, 월류까지도 모의할 수 있다. 다양한 조건으로 배수관로의 설계를 통한 동수위와 성토고를 분석하여 조건별 경제성과 치수안전도를 검토할 수 있으나 관로 크기, 경사, 방향 등을 우선하여 변경해가면서 최적안을 확인하였다. 검토된 계산 절차에 따라서 향후 지형적으로 유사한 지역에서의 배수시스템 설계에 적용 및 기존 배수관망 재설계 및 확장 등의 검토에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

공유수면을 간척 또는 매립하여 국토를 확장하여 산업화 도시화에 따른 토지수요 용도변경에 대처하여 국가발전의 균형을 유지하는 목적으로 수행하는 간척사업 시설중 중요한 시설인 배수갑문은 외수(해수)의 차단 및 내수배제를 통한 침수피해 경감의 역할을 수행하고 있다. '02년 태풍 "루사" 등 수공구조물의 설계빈도를 초과하는 폭우 발생으로 인한 홍수피해가 발생하고 배수갑문 설계시보다 유입홍수량이 증가하여 홍수시 수위가 계획홍수위 이상으로 형성되는 경우가 많아 이를 해결하기 위하여 배수갑문의 확장사업이 실시되고 있다. 그 첫 번째 사업으로 아산만방조제 배수갑문의 확장을 실시하였다. 아산만방조재 신설 배수갑문의 위치가 연약지반으로 형성되어 있어 신설 배수갑문을 통한 방류시 고속의 수류로 인한 바다측 물받이공 하류부의 세굴이 발생할 가능성이 크며, 이로 인한 배수갑문의 붕괴 우려가 있다. 그러므로 이를 방지하기 위하여 배수갑문 하류에 정수지형 물받이공을 설치하여 고속으로 방류되는 방류수의 유속을 저감시켜 세굴의 발생이 최소화하여 안정성이 확보되도록 하였다. 정수지형 물받이공의 효과 및 안정성을 검증하기 위하여 3차원 수치해석 FLOW-3D모형을 적용하여 수평물받이공과 정수지형 물받이공의 유속차이를 비교분석하였다. 분석한 결과 정수지 말단부에서 정수지 시점부와 비교하여 유속감소는 최대 약 49%, 평균 약 39%의 유속 감세효과를 나타내는 것으로 나타나 정수지형 물받이공을 통한 세굴 감소효과로 아산만방조제 배수갑문의 세굴에 의한 안정성은 확보되는 것으로 나타났다.

Spot welded structure is operated in diverse situation because of temperature, humidity and precipitation. In addition factors of environmental pollution such as acid rain, that courses corrosion, have the tendency to increase, But spot welded structure strength is affected by dampness and environment temperatures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate effect of temperature of spot welded part, In this study, the strength distribution of spot welded plates is evaluated about the environmental temperature of zine coated steel plates and test is conducted with welded part immersed in distilled and synthetic sea water. Specimens are immersed into water for 10, 100, 500 and 1000hours to evaluate the effects of water immersion time on tensile-shear strength under the conditions of -40, 0, 20 and $50^{\circ}C$. Strength is evaluated by tensile-shear test. The conditions of spot welding are 240kgf electrode force, 10KA welding current with 0 and 5mm clearance. From this study, spot welded specimens with clearance have lower tensile-shear strength in the distilled water or synthetic sea water comparing with spot welded specimens without clearance. And they have lower tensile-shear strength under $-40^{\circ}C$ and over $50^{\circ}C$.
