천해역(shallow sea area)에서의 조류 형태(tidal flow regime)는 주로 만(bay)이나 해안선(shoreline)의 형태, 해저 지형(bottom topography), 수로(channel), 천퇴(sand bar)나 간석지(tidal flat) 등의 지형적인 요인에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구는 복잡한 지형적 변화 및 천해특성에 기인된 조석(tide)의 현상이 뚜렷이 나타나는 금강하구(Keum River Estuary)를 하구둑(Estuary Dike) 건설 전${\cdot}$후(Before and After Constructed)의 수심(depth)변화 및 유속(current)변화를 수치실험(numerical experiments)으로 고찰했다.

본 연구에서는 파랑의 변형을 예측하는 방법 중 하나인 고유함수전개법을 이용하여 축대칭 형태의 지형 위를 통과하는 파랑의 소멸파 성분을 검토하였다. 기울기와 곡률이 변하는 지역에 고유함수 전개법을 적용하여 해석할 때 필요한 적절한 구간의 수와 소멸파 성분의 개수를 산정하였다. 고유함수전개법을 이용하여 파랑의 변화를 예측하는 연구는 Bremmer(1951)가 전자기파에 적용하면서 처음 제시한 후 Takano(1960)가 파랑 변형 연구에 적용하면서 본격적으로 진행되었다. 이밖에 Kirby and Dalymple(1983), Liu et al.(1992), Cho and Lee(2000), Bender and Dean(2003), 조용식과 이창훈(1998) 및 강규영 등(2007)에 의해 국내 외로 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 그러나 기존의 연구의 대부분이 연직 2차원 지형에 대하여 수행되어 왔다. 3차원 지형에 대한 고유함수전개법은 Bender and Dean(2005)에 의해 처음으로 시작되었다. 그러나 그들의 연구에서는 수렴해를 얻기 위한 구간 및 소멸파 개수에 관한 구체적인 검토가 이루어지지 않았다는 한계가 있다. 그러나 실제 해저 지역은 다양한 지형의 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축대칭 지형에 대하여 수렴해를 얻기 위해 구간을 나누어 해의 수렴성을 확인하여 적절한 구간의 수를 결정한 후 소멸파의 수를 변화시키면서 소멸파가 파랑의 변형에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 천해역 및 중간수심 영역을 구간의 수와 소멸파 성분의 수에 변화를 주면서 수렴성 검사를 한 결과, 천해 영역에서는 소멸파 성분의 영향이 적게 나타났으나 중간수심 영역에서는 적절한 개수의 소멸파를 고려해야 보다 정확한 예측을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the Bragg resonant of cnoidal waves propagating over a sinusoidally varying topography lying on a uniformly sloping beach is investigated. The governing equations derived from the Boussinesq equations are numerically integrated. The effects of fast varying terms and nonlinearity in reflection coefficients are also examined. Variation of reflection coefficient for different sloping beaches is studied. It is found that reflection coefficients are not strongly dependent on slopes of beaches.

Seafloor morphology and manganese nodule occurrence were studied in the Korea Deep-sea Environmental Study (KODES) area, northeast equatorial Pacific, to understand their relationship. Study area is composed of three elongated valleys and hills with about 100~200 m height along NNE-SSW direction. Valley region is generally flat. However, hill region is very rugged with big cliffs of about 100m height and small depressions of several tens of meters depth. Tectonic movement along the Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone, consequent formation of elongated abyssal hills and Valleys, erosion of siliceous bottom sediments by bottom currents, and dissolution of carbonate sediments on the abyssal hills below CCD result in the rugged morphology. Manganese nodule occurrence is closely related to the morphology of the study area; mostly rounded-shaped manganese nodules with about 5 cm diameter are abundant on the flat valley region, whereas irregular shaped nodules (or manganese crust) with less than 5 cm to about 1 m diameter occur on the hill. These results supports the previous reports that nodule abundance, composition, and morphology are variable both on regional and local small scales on the seafloor even within some abundant nodule provinces depending on oceanographic characteristics such as bathymetric features, surface sediment type, sediment thickness, and so on. We suggest that such oceanographic characteristics affect interrelatedly on the formation of manganese nodules, and tectonic movement of the Pacific plate ultimately constrain the nodule occurrence. A potential mining place in the KODES area seems to be the valley region, which is elongated to the NNW-SSE direction with 3-4 km width.

Eigen Function Expansion Method(EFEM) and Plane Wave Approximation are employed to study the propagation of linear water waves over trenches. The properties of trapped waves due to depth and ambient current discontinuities and the effect of evanescent modes on wave propagations are investigated. Special attention is paid to the trapped waves, and not only 3-D plots but also B-D plots of wave propagation are presented.

서해안에 위치한 새만금은 연안 방조제 축조 공사로 인하여 환경변화를 야기할 수 있는데 이러한 환경변화는 일차적으로는 갯벌의 이동에 의한 해저 지형 및 퇴적상의 변화로 나타난다. 그러나 이와 같은 연안 갯벌 환경변화는 매우 느리며, 장기적이고 지속적으로 나타나므로 그 변화의 정도 및 피해영향의 심각성이 쉽게 인식되지 않는다. 방조제 축조 공사로 인해 발생될 수 있는 가장 중요한 갯벌 환경 변화로는 유속의 증감에 따른 갯벌의 운반 및 집적 변화를 예상할 수 있다. (중략)

Bathymetry, side scan sonar, and magnetic survey data for the summit area of Dokdo obtained by Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute in 1999, 2004, and 2007 were analyzed to investigate the geophysical characteristics of the summit. Bathymetry and topographic data for the summit of Dokdo show uneven seabed and irregular undulations from costal line to -90 m in water depth, indicating the effects of partial erosions and taluses. The stepped slope in the bathymetry is supposed to be a coastal terrace suggesting repetition of transgressions and regressions in the Quaternary. The bathymetry and the side scan sonar data show a small crater, assumed to be formed by post volcanisms, at depth of $-100\;{\sim}\;-120\;m$ in the northeastern and the northwestern parts of the survey area. Except some areas with shallow sand sedimentary deposits, there are rocky seafloor and lack of sediments in the side scan sonar images of the survey area, dominantly. The analytic signal of the magnetic anomaly coincides with other geophysical results regarding to the location of the residual crater. The geophysical constraints of the summit of Dokdo propose that the islets and the rocky seabed elongated northeastward and northwestward from the islets might be the southern crater of the Dokdo volcano.

The change of surface sediment composition, shoreline and transection of geography were studied to investigate the Typhoon(Maemi) effect in Naa Beach located in the south area of East sea. In the backshore the volume of gravel is do creased, and increased in the volume of sand. The erosion in the sediment occurred to 4 m in the thickness and effected to 10 m in depth. And the coastline retreated to 12 m after typhoon. During typhoon conditions, higher amplitude waves deepen the wave base, causing much of the lower beach face and the offshore. The upper beach face is extensively eroded during typhoon and sand sediment is redeposited.

In this study, the precise shapes of sunken ships and information on seafloor topography were analyzed using data obtained from a multi-beam echo sounder. The state of each sunken ship was analyzed by processing diverse imagery data which was compared with data obtained from past investigations to determine changes in the state and circumjacent seafloor topography. Apparent changes in the seafloor topography around one sunken ship, the "Pacific Friend", were found from stern to bow as a result of continued submarine erosion and sedimentation. In the case of sunken ship "No. 7 Haeseong", the partial collapse of the bow was revealed in the seabed images captured in 2015, though it had still been intact in images captured during the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency's investigation in 2011. This partial collapse was presumed to have resulted from the effects of continued tidal currents, the cargo load of the ship and continued corrosion of the ship over a long time on the seabed. Continuous monitoring of residual fuel inside the ship is necessary to avoid leakage and potential marine pollution. By conducting image analysis on these sunken ships, it has been determined that the structural safety of the ships is seriously influenced by tidal currents and seafloor topography, while the hulls will be continuously changed by corrosion. As a result, it can be concluded that the development of prediction and response techniques that take into consideration residual fuel leakage and environmental changes according to the geological characteristics of sunken ships is necessary.

It is well known that manganese nodules enriched with valuable metals are abundantly distributed in the abyssal plain area in the Clarion-Clipperton (C-C) fracture zone of the northeast Pacific. Previous studies using deep-sea camera (DSC) system reported different observations about the relation of seafloor topographic change and nodule abundance, and they were sometimes contradictory. Moreover, proper foundation on the estimation of DSC underwater position, was not introduced clearly. The variability of the mining condition of manganese nodule according to seafloor topography was examined in the Korea Deep Ocean Study (KODOS) area, located in the C-C zone. In this paper, it is suggested that the utilization of deep towing system such as DSC is very useful approach to whom are interested in analysing the distributional characteristics of manganese nodule filed and in selecting promising minable area. To this purpose, nodule abundance and detailed bathymetry were acquired using deep-sea camera system and multi-beam echo sounder, respectively on the seamount free abyssal hill area of southern part ($132^{\circ}10'W$, $9^{\circ}45'N$) in KODOS regime. Some reasonable assumptions were introduced to enhance the accuracy of estimated DSC sampling position. The accuracy in the result of estimated underwater position was verified indirectly through the comparison of measured abundances on the crossing point of neighboring DSC tracks. From the recorded seafloor images, not only nodules and sediments but cracks and cliffs could be also found frequently. The positions of these probable unminable area were calculated by use of the recorded time being encountered with them from the seafloor images of DSC. The results suggest that the unminable areas are mostly distributed on the slope sides and hill tops, where nodule collector can not travel over.
